I go to prepare a place for you.&nbsp; 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He is coming back only for the saints that are occupied for advancing His kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Matthew&nbsp; 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:&nbsp; 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mark&nbsp; 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;&nbsp; 16:18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>John&nbsp; 20:21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Who were the people Jesus commanded to be occupied till He comes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Listen:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>John&nbsp; 17:6 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. You are keeping the entirety of God&#8217;s words in the Bible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;17:7 Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.&nbsp; 17:8 For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. You are persuaded that God sent Jesus to the world to save you in particular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>17:9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.&nbsp; 17:14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. You don&#8217;t belong to the world, so you must be totally free from worldliness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;17:15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.&nbsp; 17:16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.&nbsp; 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. You must be biblically saved and sanctified&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;17:18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.&nbsp; 17:24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5. You must be committed to be living by the entirety of God&#8217;s words in the Bible,&nbsp; you must also be preaching and teaching the entirety of God&#8217;s words in the Bible and be living always in readiness for His coming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you commit yourself to doing all these, you will be used to bring others to the kingdom and you will be partakers of the imminent rapture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Examine yourself sincerely. Can you say all of these are your present experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They must be and remain to be till Christ comes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Only on these conditions can you be occupied till He comes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember the husbandman that laboureth must be the first partaker of the fruits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2 Timothy&nbsp; 2:6 The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If these are not a reality in your life then, you are just calling people into the kingdom like Judas, but never to partake in it.
