PROPHECY

Where are You Described in the Bible?

by
Robert E. Schoenle

In the very near future, like it or not, ready or not, believe it or not, each of us will know where we were described in the Holy Bible and to what group of people we were members of. If the Rapture is soon to be, then everyone on earth has to be in one or more of the following groups, acts or events that are only recorded in the Holy Bible.

   1. Are you one of the “wise” virgins who is snatched-out by the Lord Jesus Christ (Mt. 25:10; Jn. 4:34-35; 14:1-3)?

   2. Are you one of the casualties of World War III when Russia and her allies invade Israel (Ezek. 38-39; 1 Th. 5:3) and America is destroyed with a nuclear attack (Ezek. 39:6)?

   3. Are you one of the 144,000 Jewish men chosen by God to preach the “Good News of the Coming Kingdom of Christ” (Mt. 24:14, 21-24; Mk. 13:10; Rev. 7:2-8; 14:1-5)?

   4. Are you one of those who scoff at being told of the nearness of the “Rapture” (2 Pet. 3:3-5)?

   5. Are you one of those who is either “taken” or “left behind” at the “Rapture” while sleeping in bed, working in the field, or working in the mill (Mt. 24:40-41; Lk. 17:34-36)?

   6. Are you one of those who will cry out to the Lord Jesus Christ, after the “Rapture” has taken place and you have been left behind (Mt. 7:22; 25:11; Lk. 13:26)?

   7. Are you the end-time ruler of Russia called “Gog” of Magog (Ezek. 38-39)?

   8. Are you the man from Italy who will be the Antichrist (Dan. 9:26)?

   9. Are you the one who will almost kill the Antichrist with a bullet to the head (Rev. 13:1-3)?

  10. Are you the Jewish man who is called the “false prophet” (Rev. 13:11-17; 16:13; 19:20; 20:10).

  11. Are you one of those who will be in the city of Jerusalem that will flee to safety in the city of Petra (Mt. 16:20; Mk. 13:14-18; Rev. 12:5-6, 13-14)?

  12. Are you one of many who will have the computer chip inserted in either your forehead or in your right hand, that will enable you to buy and sell in the coming cashless and checkless medium of exchange for goods and services (Rev. 13:16-18; 14:9-11)?

13.  Are you one of those who will not allow the computer chip to be placed in your forehead or in your right hand to enable you to purchase goods and services  (Rev. 13:16-18)?

  14.  Are you one of those who will come to trust the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Savior after the “Rapture” and be killed for your faith in Him (Rev. 7:9-10, 13-17; 14:13; 20:4)?

  15. Are you one of those who will participate in the “Battle of Armageddon” (Joel 3:9-14; Zech. 12:1-3; 14:1-2; Rev. 9:13-21; 16:12, 14, 16; 19:17-19)?

  16. Are you one of those who will see the Lord Jesus Christ descend from Heaven with His angels and saints at His “2nd Advent” (Zech. 12:10; Mt. 24:29-30; 25:31; Rev. 19:11)?

  17. Are you one of those who will be judged by the Lord Jesus Christ, as to whether you had come to trust Him as your personal Savior, prior to his return to earth (Mt. 25:31-46)?

  18.  Are you to be the last one to trust the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, by faith alone, before the “Rapture” takes place?

Are You “Saved” or “Deceived?”

 “What is your salvation based upon?” This is the most important question anyone can be asked! This is a question that everyone will eventually be asked and have to answer. There is only one correct answer. Some of the reasons “professing” Christians [“foolish” virgins] think they are “saved” [born-again] and ready to meet the “Bridegroom” [Christ] (Mt. 25:1-13) is they:

* Have been baptized with or in water.
* Have spoken or do speak in “tongues.”
* Obey God and His commandments.
* Are members of a church.
* Do various good works.
* Have had an “experience.”
* Made Jesus “Lord” of their life.
* Were born of Christian parents.
* Repented of their sins.
* Tried to live a holy life.

 What these people will not acknowledge is that our salvation must not be based on what we have done, are now doing, or hope to do for the Lord Jesus Christ. This is called WORKS (Isa. 64:6; Rom. 3:20; 4:5; Gal. 2:16). Our salvation must be based solely, on believing what the Lord Jesus Christ has done for each of us personally. This is called GRACE (Jn. 20:30-31; Eph. 2:8-9; 1 Tim. 1:15). Thus, the cause of salvation is belief! The effect is what is done afterward.
