  • Hello everyone, I'm Davina.

  • 2,000 years ago,

  • after the Lord Jesus was crucified and completed His redemption work,

  • He promised He'd return.

  • Since then,

  • all believers have been longing for our Savior to come down on a cloud

  • to be raptured up to Him.

  • Believers are hoping to be raptured at any moment,

  • but they're watching the disasters unfold before them

  • and have yet to welcome the Lord returning on a cloud.

  • Many are feeling very disheartened.

  • They're constantly wondering

  • if the Lord has actually returned and if any believers have been raptured up yet,

  • but no one has seen anything of the sort.

  • What they're seeing is disasters growing and growing,

  • pandemics becoming more serious,

  • and more people dying in disasters,

  • even some pastors and elders.

  • People are feeling afraid or maybe even abandoned by the Lord,

  • feeling like they could die in the disasters at any moment.

  • They can't figure out why the Lord hasn't returned and raptured them

  • now that the disasters have begun.

  • It's surprising to them

  • that Eastern Lightning has been bearing witness

  • that the Lord Jesus has already returned as Almighty God incarnate,

  • expressing truths and doing the work of judgment in the last days.

  • Many who long for the truth read Almighty God's words,

  • recognize the voice of God, and turn toward Almighty God.

  • They are eating and drinking Almighty God's words every day,

  • sustained and nurtured by them, and attend the Lamb's wedding feast.

  • They are the ones who have welcomed the Lord

  • and have been raptured up before God's throne before the disasters.

  • Many religious people are confused, thinking,

  • "Eastern Lightning has to be wrong

  • about the Lord having returned and their being raptured,

  • because the Bible says,

  • If the Lord has returned, why haven't we been taken up?

  • Isn't He supposed to take people up into the sky?

  • Eastern Lightning believers are clearly still on earth,

  • so how could they be raptured?"

  • It makes no sense to them at all.

  • Well then, what does being raptured actually mean?

  • Lots of people don't understand the true meaning of rapture,

  • but think it means being taken up into the sky,

  • so anyone still on earth hasn't been raptured.

  • They are very mistaken.

  • Hoping for the Lord to return and rapture them is entirely correct,

  • as the Lord Jesus told believers to welcome Him.

  • But Paul said

  • Is that correct?

  • Did the Lord Jesus ever say that when He returned,

  • He'd take believers up to meet Him in the air?

  • He didn't.

  • Is there testimony of this from the Holy Spirit?

  • There isn't.

  • Could Paul speak on behalf of the Lord Jesus on this?

  • Did the Lord acknowledge that?

  • No.

  • The way that the Lord raptures up believers is arranged by God.

  • Paul was a human being, just an apostle,

  • so how could he know how the Lord raptures believers?

  • What Paul said was entirely based on his own imagination

  • and didn't represent the Lord.

  • We certainly can't base how we welcome the Lord on this.

  • We need to follow the Lord Jesus' words

  • on how He returns and raptures believers in the last days,

  • because He is Christ, the Lord of the kingdom,

  • and only His words are the truth and have authority.

  • Welcoming the Lord in accordance with His words cannot be wrong.

  • Let's take a look at what the Lord Jesus said.

  • We can see that in His prophecies about His return, the Lord always mentioned

  • These key statements are telling us

  • that the Lord returns in the flesh as the Son of man,

  • coming to earth to speak, to knock on our door.

  • Those who hear the Lord's voice and open the door

  • are the wise virgins who welcome the Lord and attend His feast.

  • They are raptured up before the Lord.

  • The Lord Jesus never said He'd take people up to meet with Him in the sky,

  • but He told people to listen for His voice to welcome Him,

  • come before Him, and attend His feast.

  • To welcome the Lord and meet Him,

  • we have to follow His words and hear God's voice.

  • As soon as we hear someone call that the Bridegroom is coming,

  • we must go out to meet Him,

  • not foolishly wait to be taken into the sky based on our own imaginings.

  • If we do, we'll never get to hear the Lord's voice and welcome Him.

  • The Lord returns as the Son of man and comes among us, speaking to us,

  • so if we're just waiting to be taken into the sky,

  • we're on a different path from the Lord.

  • So,

  • people's belief that they'll be caught up to meet with the Lord in the sky

  • just doesn't hold water.

  • It goes entirely against God's own words and is nothing but a human notion.

  • So what is truly being raptured?

  • Almighty God's words clarify this for us.

  • This makes it all easier to understand, right?

  • "Rapture" isn't what we think,

  • being taken from a low to a high place, from the earth into the sky.

  • It's not so vague and supernatural.

  • "Rapture" happens when God incarnates as the Son of man on earth to speak and work,

  • we hear His utterances,

  • recognize this as the truth and God's voice,

  • then can submit to and accept God's work.

  • We eat and drink God's words,

  • we're personally watered and nurtured by Him,

  • and we receive God's salvation.

  • This is being raptured up before God.

  • When the Lord Jesus came to do His redemption work,

  • all those who recognized His words as God's voice, then accepted and followed Him,

  • like Peter, John, and the other disciples, were all raptured up before God.

  • Almighty God has come in the last days and is expressing truths,

  • doing the judgment work.

  • People from all denominations who love the truth and long for God's appearance,

  • seeing that Almighty God's words are the truth and the voice of God,

  • have accepted His work of judgment.

  • They eat and drink God's words every day, are watered and sustained by them,

  • and experience God's judgment and cleansing.

  • They are the wise virgins raptured up before God, and attend the Lamb's wedding feast,

  • which entirely fulfills the prophecy in Revelation:

  • Now I think we're all clear on what it means to be raptured.

  • Thinking now about the idea of meeting with the Lord in the sky,

  • isn't it unrealistic and foolish?

  • The Lord Jesus prophesied multiple times

  • warning man time and again to listen for His voice.

  • So why do people insist on going by man's words to welcome Him,

  • instead of His own words?

  • Why do they cling to the absurd statement,

  • "be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air"?

  • What kind of problem is this?

  • Doesn't it point to being too eager for blessings?

  • Isn't it because they want to be taken straight up into God's kingdom

  • away from the disasters, where they'll bask in blessings?

  • Let's think about it.

  • Could those who are forgiven of sins, but still constantly sin

  • be raptured into the kingdom when the Lord comes?

  • Do they have the right to enjoy its blessings?

  • It's true that the Lord redeemed us of sin,

  • but we can't deny that we're still controlled by our sinful nature,

  • and can't help but sin and resist God.

  • We haven't escaped sin's bonds and achieved purity.

  • God is holy and righteous.

  • So could people saturated with filth and corruption get into His kingdom?

  • Isn't that a human fantasy, just wishful thinking?

  • The Lord Jesus did the work of redemption,

  • which was just to redeem people and forgive us of sin,

  • but our sinful nature remains.

  • We keep rebelling against God and haven't been fully saved.

  • Only having our sins forgiven by the Lord Jesus isn't enough.

  • We still have to welcome the Lord and be raptured up before Him,

  • accept His judgment in the last days,

  • and then we can be freed from sin and fully saved,

  • becoming people who submit to and fear God.

  • Then we can enter His kingdom.

  • Almighty God comes in the last days

  • expressing truths and doing the work of judgment

  • on the foundation of the Lord Jesus' redemption work.

  • This is to fully resolve man's sinful nature and corrupt disposition,

  • so we can be freed from sin and Satan's forces, and be fully saved by God.

  • Almighty God has appeared and expressed so many truths,

  • telling us everything we need as corrupt humans to be cleansed and fully saved.

  • He's revealed the mysteries of God's management plan,

  • such as God's aim in managing mankind,

  • how Satan corrupts mankind,

  • how God's three stages of work fully save man,

  • the meaning of His last days' judgment work,

  • mysteries of the incarnations and God's names,

  • every type of person's outcome and destination,

  • and the beauty of the kingdom.

  • These words are incredibly eye-opening and utterly convincing.

  • Almighty God also judges and exposes the root of man's sin and resistance to God,

  • which is our satanic nature and disposition.

  • He also exposes the truth of how deeply corrupted by Satan we are,

  • and shows us the path to escape corruption and be fully saved.

  • God's chosen people eat, drink, and enjoy God's words every day.

  • We are judged, chastised, dealt with and pruned by His words,

  • and experience all sorts of trials,

  • we learn many truths and come to truly know our satanic nature.

  • We see that we're always living within corruption,

  • rebelling against God and disgusting Him,

  • and that we'll be eliminated and punished by God if we don't repent and change.

  • We experience God's righteous, unoffendable disposition

  • and develop reverence for Him.

  • Our corruption is gradually cleansed and changed,

  • and we can finally escape the bonds of sin and bear wonderful witness for God.

  • God has already completed a group of overcomers before the disasters,

  • and the disasters are coming.

  • All those who reject and resist Almighty God,

  • and those who belong to Satan will be destroyed in the disasters.

  • Those who experience God's judgment and are cleansed

  • will receive God's protection through the disasters,

  • be taken into His kingdom, and will have a beautiful destination.

  • This is truly being raptured into God's kingdom.

  • These overcomers who are fully saved and completed by God

  • are those who practice God's words and do His will on earth.

  • They are the people of God's kingdom.

  • This is how Christ's kingdom is realized on the earth,

  • and this fulfills the Lord Jesus' prophecy:

  • Just as Almighty God's words say,

  • At this point, we have a full understanding of what truly being raptured is.

  • Being raptured is mainly about hearing God's voice, following His footsteps,

  • and turning toward Almighty God, accepting God's judgment work of the last days.

  • Why hasn't the religious world experienced rapture before the disasters?

  • Mainly because they don't seek the truth or hear God's voice,

  • but insist on their own notions and literal Bible verses.

  • They only listen to man's words, but don't welcome the Lord according to His words.

  • This is why they've fallen into the disasters.

  • People just want to wait for the Lord to come on a cloud,

  • and wish to instantly change form and be taken into the sky to meet with Him,

  • so they just passively wait without preparing themselves

  • or seeking to hear God's voice.

  • Their hearts are numb.

  • How could they welcome the Lord this way?

  • They'll fall into the disasters, weeping and gnashing their teeth.

  • Almighty God's been doing judgment work for three decades now.

  • He completed a group of overcomers before the disasters,

  • and now the disasters are coming.

  • Those who hear God's voice and welcome the Lord in the disasters

  • still have a chance at rapture.

  • This is being raptured in the midst of the disasters,

  • and they have hope of being kept.

  • Those who go by their notions, insisting that the Lord has to come on a cloud,

  • will fall into the disasters and cannot be saved.

  • Once the disasters are over,

  • God will openly appear to all nations and all peoples,

  • fulfilling the prophecy of Revelation 1:7,

  • There are a couple passages of Almighty God's words we can conclude with.

  • That's all we have for you today.

  • If you'd like to learn more

  • about the truth of God's appearance and work in the last days,

  • or if you have any questions,

  • we welcome you to leave us a comment below.

  • See you next time!
