RAPTURE-READY WATCHERS #6
Rapture-ready watchers who are daily anticipating Christ’s Second Advent live a lifestyle of sober reflection. They are different from the bandwagon. They have unique characteristics:
-
Their orientation on life and living is focused on desire for the return of Jesus.
-
They are more heaven-conscious than those who are living according to the dictates of the world system.
-
They are like brides preparing for their wedding.
-
They are desirous of meeting the Lord just as a bride and groom are desirous of, and expectant of, their wedding day and the accompanying ceremonies.
-
Their evangelistic fervour reflects the way they zealously distribute their ‘wedding invitation’ witnessing to the lost and strengthening the weak in Christ.
-
They see the world of men the way God sees it, corrupt, full of wickedness and ready for judgment and distance themselves from worldly pursuits.
-
Their attitude to money and wealth accumulation is guided by building eternal heritage in heaven.
-
Like the original apostles and those who followed them, they are daily expecting the return of the Lord.
-
They have the capacity to experience ‘birthpangs’ signalling the approaching sound of the trumpet for the rapture of the church.
-
Their earnest desire is to participate in the rapture as living saints.
