TIMING OF THE LAST TRUMP
TEXT: 1 CORINTHIANS 15:50-58
MEMORY VERSE: “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed” (1 CORINTHIANS 15:52).
In the Decision magazine of February 1989, Evangelist Billy Graham wrote that, “The time-setters and date-setters have no authority for pointing out the time when Christ will come”. Truly, the rapture will take place but no one knows when. Over the years, many people have predicted the time of the rapture but were disappointed. Our duty, like the Boy Scout movement’s motto says, is to, “Be prepared”.
There is no one in heaven or on earth who knows the day or the hour when Jesus will come to take His bride away from the earth. No one but God (Matthew 24:36; Mark 13:32). Anyone who tells you otherwise is a deceiver and doesn’t understand the Scriptures. On the other hand, many are living in sins and trespasses, thinking that the rapture will not take place. But the word of God clearly warns all to watch against Christ’s sudden return (Mark 13:35-37). Where will you be when the trumpet shall sound? “When it sounds so loud as to raise up the dead. Where will you be when He comes?” To be ready, stay on God’s Word.
QUOTE: No one knows when.
CHALLENGE: Will you be ready when the Lord shall come?
PRAYER: Oh God, keep me ready for the Bridegroom’s coming.
