Bible Note: Hi Makarios, I so look forward to that day, we will stand there together, brother, rejoicing before the Lord! Prophecy fascinates me, and God put a lot of it into the Bible. More useful to today, however, is how we should live. I taught on the Beatitudes last night, the real meat and potatoes of the Word. Oh how happy you are when you are living the way Jesus describes in those few short verses! God gave us all of His Word, so it's all important. His promise to spare me from the destruction that is coming is another cause of joy in my life. My Master is coming to rescue me. He's not going just throw me to the "wild beasts"! But I don't want to die believing pre-trib, I want to get raptured! ;-) 2 Cor 5:4 "for we also who are in the tabernacle do groan, being burdened, seeing we wish not to unclothe ourselves, but to clothe ourselves, that the mortal may be swallowed up of the life." (YLT) See ya' there, or in the air!!! Love in Christ, Mark |
