The Lord is saying: My loves, I Am here, and I Am with you. If you knew the lateness of the hour you would surely listen to what I say in My Word. Those who are closest to Me know that the hour of My return is near to bring you, My bride, home to the place I have prepared for you. I bring you to Me, just like I have told you, that your Bridegroom and My Bride be consummated as One. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye you will be changed – transformed into your eternal bodies and prepared for the final battle for souls and judgment on the unrepentant. These are hard words for some of you, for you feel you are not ready. But I make no mistakes, and I will surely have each of you ready for what comes. The enemy has sown many lies about this coming event, for if you knew what comes, then he would have no power over you, and your joy would be complete. My children, I Am coming for you, just like My prophets have written, and those who don’t yet know Me will have to make their decision for Me in a time when their lives will be asked of them, for the world will have been given over for judgment. Do not fear these things, My loves, for they must come to pass.
1 Cor 15:12-34 (ESV) Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. 14 And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain. 15 We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified about God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised. 16 For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised. 17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. 18 Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 19 If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied. 20 But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21 For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. 23 But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ. 24 Then comes the end, when he delivers the kingdom to God the Father after destroying every rule and every authority and power. 25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy to be destroyed is death. 27 For “God has put all things in subjection under his feet.” But when it says, “all things are put in subjection,” it is plain that he is excepted who put all things in subjection under him. 28 When all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will also be subjected to him who put all things in subjection under him, that God may be all in all. 29 Otherwise, what do people mean by being baptized on behalf of the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people baptized on their behalf? 30 Why are we in danger every hour? 31 I protest, brothers, by my pride in you, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die every day! 32 What do I gain if, humanly speaking, I fought with beasts at Ephesus? If the dead are not raised, “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.” 33 Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals.” 34 Wake up from your drunken stupor, as is right, and do not go on sinning. For some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.
