Enduring persecutions to the end requisite for readiness for the imminent rapture.
The great tribulation will follow after the imminent rapture. It will be a period of indescribable sufferings for all inhabitants of the earth.
They will be compelled to take the mark of the antichrist.
Those who refuse will go through painful persecutions and deprived of buying or selling.
Only those who partake in the rapture will escape it, according to the following scriptures.
Revelation 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
But then, those who faithfully followed the Lord and partake of the imminent rapture, will go through unavoidable persecutions before this event takes place.
Jesus said it will be for ten days out of every 365 days of every year.
Revelation 2:10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
To partake in the rapture, you are under compulsion to endure the permitted persecutions to the end.
Matthew 10:22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
Several other scriptures describe this unavoidable persecutions.
Acts 14:22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.
You must not allow these unavoidable persecutions to separate you from Christ, till He comes.
Romans 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 8:36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 8:39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
His grace will be sufficient for you as you remain biblically saved and sanctified.
Let us pray.
