"Gathered"
“Gathered”
Blessings folk!
When the sun, moon and stars go dark...lift up your heads, your redemption is drawing near!
Now, read what happens next…
Matthew 24:29-31
29 “But immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
30 And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory.
31 And He will send forth His angels with a great trumpet and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.
“And then…”
Everything goes dark within the heavenlies...then…
The sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky.
What is this sign?

Note how the tribes of the earth will react…
- mourn
When?
When they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory.
The sign is the Lord Himself coming as described.
From darkness comes forth the brilliance of the power and great glory of the Lord.
This is the sign.
The Lord will send forth His angels with a great trumpet.
The angels will gather His elect from the four winds.
The gathering...the rapture.
Yes.
The rapture comes immediately after darkness comes.
As we will see, on the same day that the elect are gathered to the Lord, the Lord begins releasing His wrath - the Day of the Lord.
In a manner of speaking it can be said that the rapture of the church initiates the Day of the Lord.
The rapture cuts short the great tribulation - satan’s wrath against Israel and the church.
The rapture initiates the Day of the Lord - the wrath of God agains unbelieving mankind.
Are you ready to be gathered?
Do not wait until the sun, moon and stars go dark...
