The Blessed Hope

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

 

But I (Believers) do NOT want YOU (Believers) to be ignorant, Brethren (Believers), CONCERNING Those (Believers) who have Fallen Asleep (The Dead in Christ), lest YOU (Believers) sorrow, as Others (Unbelievers), who have NO Hope.  For if We (Believers) BELIEVE that Jesus (Jesus Christ) DIED and ROSE AGAIN, even so GOD (GOD Almighty) will bring with Him (Jesus Christ), Those (Believers) who Sleep in Jesus (The Dead in Christ).

For THIS We (Believers) say to YOU (Believers), by The WORD (The Gospel of Jesus Christ) of The LORD (Jesus Christ), that We (Believers) who are ALIVE and REMAIN, until The Coming of The LORD (Jesus Christ), will by NO means PRECEDE Those (Believers), who are Asleep (The Dead in Christ).  For The LORD (Jesus Christ) Himself will DESCEND from Heaven with a SHOUT, with The VOICE of an Archangel, and with The TRUMPET of GOD (GOD Almighty).  And The Dead (Believers) in Christ (Jesus Christ), will Rise FIRST.  Then, We (Believers), who are ALIVE and REMAIN, shall be CAUGHT UP TOGETHER with Them (The Dead in Christ) in The Clouds, to MEET The LORD (Jesus Christ) in The Air.  And thus, We (Believers) shall ALWAYS be with The LORD (Jesus Christ).  Therefore, Comfort One Another (Fellow Believers) with THESE WORDS.

1 Corinthians 15:50-58

 

Now this I (Believers) say, Brethren (Believers), that flesh and blood can NOT INHERIT The Kingdom of GOD (GOD Almighty); NOR does corruption INHERIT INCORRUPTION.

Behold, I (Believers) TELL YOU (Believers) a MYSTERY: We (Believers) shall NOT All Sleep, but We (Believers) shall ALL BE CHANGED, in a Moment, in The TWINKLING of an EYE, at The LAST TRUMPET.  For The TRUMPET will SOUND, and The Dead (Believers) will be Raised INCORRUPTIBLE (The Spiritual Body), and We (Believers) shall be CHANGED.  For THIS Corruptible (The Natural Body) MUST PUT ON INCORRUPTION (The Spiritual Body), and THIS Mortal (The Natural Body) MUST PUT ON IMMORTALITY (The Spiritual Body).

So, when THIS Corruptible (The Natural Body) has PUT ON INCORRUPTION (The Spiritual Body), and THIS Mortal (The Natural Body) has PUT ON IMMORTALITY (The Spiritual Body), then shall be Brought To Pass the saying that is WRITTEN: “Death is Swallowed Up in VICTORY.”  “O Death, where is your sting?  O Hades, where is your victory?”  The Sting of Death is sin, and The Strength of sin is The Law.  But THANKS be to GOD (GOD Almighty), who GIVES Us (Believers) The Victory THROUGH Our LORD Jesus Christ.  Therefore, My Beloved Brethren (Believers), be STEADFAST, IMMOVABLE, Always Abounding in The WORK of The LORD (Jesus Christ), KNOWING that Your (Believers) LABOR is NOT in vain, in The LORD (Jesus Christ).

Luke 21:36

“WATCH therefore, and PRAY ALWAYS, that YOU (Believers) may be COUNTED WORTHY TO ESCAPE ALL THESE THINGS, that will Come To Pass, and to Stand BEFORE The Son of Man (Jesus Christ).”

Philippians 3:20-21

For OUR (Believers) CITIZENSHIP is in Heaven, from which We (Believers) also EAGERLY WAIT for The Savior, The LORD Jesus Christ, who will TRANSFORM Our (Believers) Lowly Body (The Natural Body), that it may be CONFORMED (The Spiritual Body) to His (Jesus Christ’s) Glorious Body, According to The Working by which He (Jesus Christ) is ABLE, even to SUBDUE All Things to Himself (Jesus Christ).

1 Thessalonians 5:8-11

Let Us (Believers) who are of THE DAY, be Sober, Putting On The Breastplate of FAITH and LOVE, and as a Helmet, The HOPE of SALVATION.  For GOD (GOD Almighty) did NOT APPOINT Us (Believers) to WRATH, but to OBTAIN SALVATION, through Our LORD Jesus Christ, who died for Us (Believers), that whether We (Believers) Wake OR Sleep, We (Believers) should LIVE TOGETHER with Him (Jesus Christ).  Therefore Comfort Each Other (Fellow Believers) and EDIFY One Another (Fellow Believers), just as YOU (Believers) also are doing.

Titus 2:11-14

For The GRACE of GOD (GOD Almighty) that Brings Salvation has Appeared to ALL Men, Teaching Us (Believers) that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, We (Believers) should LIVE Soberly, Righteously, and Godly in The Present Age, Looking for THE BLESSED HOPE and GLORIOUS APPEARING of Our Great GOD and Savior, Jesus Christ, who GAVE Himself (Jesus Christ) for Us (Believers) , that He (Jesus Christ) might REDEEM Us (Jesus Christ), from every lawless deed, and PURIFY for Himself (Jesus Christ), His Own Special People (Believers), Zealous for Good Works.

Revelation 3:7-8, 10

“I (Jesus Christ) KNOW Your (Believers) Works.  See, I (Jesus Christ) have SET BEFORE YOU (Believers) an OPEN DOOR, and NO ONE can shut it; for YOU (Believers) have KEPT My (Jesus Christ’s) WORD (The Gospel of Jesus Christ), and have NOT denied My (Jesus Christ’s) Name.  Because YOU (Believers) have KEPT My (Jesus Christ’s) COMMAND to Persevere, I (Jesus Christ) also Will KEEP YOU (Believers), FROM THE HOUR OF TRIAL, which shall Come Upon The Whole World, to TEST Those (Unbelievers) who Dwell on The Earth.”

Fellow Believers, “The Blessed Hope” that Paul is referring to in Titus 2:11-14, is The Being “Caught Up Together” that Paul refers to in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 and in 1 Corinthians 15:50-58.  Please note: All These Scriptures refer to (tie into) the same event.  But please also note: These Scriptures do NOT refer to The Second Coming of Our LORD and Savior, Jesus Christ, which is a SEPARATE EVENT.

This “Blessed Hope” can and will occur WITHOUT WARNING, therefore It (The Blessed Hope) can and will occur at ANY GIVEN MOMENT.  Are YOU (Believers) READY?  IF GOD Almighty REMOVED YOU (Believers) from This World, TODAY, how many of Your (Believers) Family, Your (Believers) Friends, Your (Believers) Church Family, Your (Believers) Co-Workers, or Your (Believers) Neighbors would be removed with YOU (Believers), how many of Them would be LEFT HERE (in This World)?

GOD Almighty’s WORD (The Holy Bible) GIVES Us (Believers), His (GOD Almighty’s) Assurance and Jesus Christ’s Guarantee, that We (Believers) will NOT have to ENDURE, GOD Almighty’s WRATH upon This World.  I pray each of YOU (Believers) find comfort in These Scriptures.

Please, Fellow Believers, make sure that when Jesus Christ COMES FOR YOU (Believers), He (Jesus Christ) FINDS YOU (Believers), Going About The Father’s (GOD Almighty’s) Business, Sharing The Gospel of Jesus Christ with ANYONE who has Ears to HEAR and Eyes to SEE, The TRUTH.  Amen.
