Then there will be two men in the field; one will be taken and one will be left. Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one will be left. Matthew 24:41.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
I have loved you with an everlasting love and it is from eternity to eternity. It is as timeless and eternal as I AM. There was never a time I did not have you in My heart but there was a day I birthed you from My heart into your mother’s womb but that is not when I first conceived you in My innermost being, the very deepest of My thoughts. And deep in you there is the wellspring of your spirit that drinks from My fountain of life. But if you have not linked with Me by receiving My implanted Word into your heart, you are like the barren bush in a dry and empty wasteland. But the good news is if you but return to that place in Me where I conceived you, you will be filled with sweet new wine.
“Scarcely had I left them when I found him whom my soul loves; I held on to him and would not let him go until I had brought him to my mother’s house, and into the room of her who conceived me.” Song of Songs 3:4.
May he kiss me with the kisses of his mouth! For your love is better than wine. Your oils have a pleasing fragrance, Your name is like purified oil; therefore the maidens love you. Draw me after you and let us run together! The king has brought me into his chambers. We will rejoice in you and be glad; we will extol your love more than wine. Rightly do they love you.” Song of Songs 1:2-4.
Call on Me while I am still near, while it is still the age of grace, the Church age, when all peoples are invited in to be joyful in My house of prayer. There is a place for every one of you in My Kingdom, prepared from the foundation of the world, purchased by the blood of My Son. I have redeemed you to be My own.
For a day is coming when justice will fall upon the earth, upon those who have rejected the free gift of My Son, and are still in their sins, those who have destroyed the earth and My people. And who can endure that day?
But the good news is that you have received My Son as Lord and have thus been born from above into Kingdom citizenship and Kingdom jurisdiction will not have to endure it or even experience it. How can that be? Because Jesus received it in your place and shields you from the wrath to come.
But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath through Him. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. And not only this, but we also exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation. Romans 5:8-11.
For they themselves report about us what kind of a reception we had with you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve a living and true God, and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, that is Jesus, who rescues us from the wrath to come. 1 Thessalonians 1:9-10.
And how does He rescue you out of the great tribulation? He catches you up from the four winds and conceals you in My tent and brings you home to Me and you will always be with Me, sealed and saved and safe.
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. 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. Matthew 24:30-31.
Some will be taken and some will be left. Therefore, be all the more diligent to make your calling and election sure. For if you practice these things, you will never stumble, and you will receive a lavish reception into the eternal kingdom of your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 2 Peter 1:10-11.
“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone. For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah. For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away; so will the coming of the Son of Man be. Then there will be two men in the field; one will be taken and one will be left. Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one will be left. Matthew 24:36-41.
I tell you, on that night there will be two in one bed; one will be taken and the other will be left. There will be two women grinding at the same place; one will be taken and the other will be left. Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other will be left.”And answering they said to Him, “Where, Lord?” And He said to them, “Where the body is, there also the vultures will be gathered.” Luke 17:34-37.
When you are living only by the flesh, the demons will gather to devour you. The flesh is where man sinned, the lust of the flesh is never satisfied it wants to grab everything now that it can experience for pleasure because it knows it will die. The flesh is proud and scornful and will not take correction. Flesh is touchy, resentful, and rebellious. Unless kept under by your spirit your flesh will take over and ruin your life.
But for you who believe, you are strong in Me and the power of My might and have overcome the world, the flesh, and the devil. Caught up at the trumpet blast, in the twinkling of an eye, you who have believed in and called upon the Name of My Son will escape. And it will be time to celebrate the marriage feast of the Lamb in the Kingdom.
I am so looking forward to showing you the glorious Kingdom of Heaven and then joining it with the earth, making all things new.
But first comes times like have never been experienced in the earth. It will be a meltdown of the evil, a time for purifying the gold and the silver in the furnace of My just wrath, for I am a consuming fire.
Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat! But according to His promise we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells. 2 Peter 3:11-13.
Jesus, and when sent by Jesus from Me to you, the Holy Spirit, gave you much information about the end times and what to expect, but also how to escape by calling on His Name in truth.
“Therefore when you see the abomination of desolation which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains.
Again, He told you to flee from the wrath to come. Do not keep close to those who are walking in the flesh and throwing in their lots with adulterous and the deceivers, live pure.
Keep focused on your high calling in Christ and forgetting what lies behind, let us move forward. I can help you move up to the next level. Do not keep trying to go back to get things, go forward.
Whoever is on the housetop must not go down to get the things out that are in his house. Whoever is in the field must not turn back to get his cloak. But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! But pray that your flight will not be in the winter, or on a Sabbath. For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will. Unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short. Then if anyone says to you, ‘Behold, here is the Christ,’ or ‘There He is,’ do not believe him. For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect. Behold, I have told you in advance. So if they say to you, ‘Behold, He is in the wilderness,’ do not go out, or, ‘Behold, He is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe them. For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes even to the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be. Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather. Matthew 15-28.
This was the conversation with His disciples on Mt. Olivet, but there was one there whose great love and his great zeal in preaching the gospel of salvation got him exiled to the barren island of Patmos to die for his courageous witness in the face of persecution and sure death for continuing on, but he had no fear of man and trusting in My love, the beloved disciple, as he called himself (learn from that for you too are My beloved, just as My Son is), instead of cursing the day and hating his oppressors used that time as a retreat with Me and I caught him up to the third Heaven, My glorious Kingdom, and showed him the things to come. I showed him the tribulation and the breaking of the seven seals of the title deed to the earth that My Son is worthy to break open when Adam’s leasehold has expired and take back the earth.
But for a moment let us go back to what I showed Daniel when he inquired of Me at the close of his prophetic book.
“Now at that time Michael, the great prince who stands guard over the sons of your people, will arise. And there will be a time of distress such as never occurred since there was a nation until that time; and at that time your people, everyone who is found written in the book, will be rescued. Many of those who sleep in the dust of the ground will awake, these to everlasting life, but the others to disgrace and everlasting contempt. Those who have insight will shine brightly like the brightness of the expanse of heaven, and those who lead the many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever. But as for you, Daniel, conceal these words and seal up the book until the end of time; many will go back and forth, and knowledge will increase.” Daniel 12:1-4.
This is very serious. But it is very wonderful for those written in the Lamb’s book of life, for those that lead others to the gift of righteousness available in Christ Jesus. You are wise to win souls. There is great reward in it.
Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming. Be on guard, so that your hearts will not be weighted down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of life, and that day will not come on you suddenly like a trap; for it will come upon all those who dwell on the face of all the earth. But keep on the alert at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are about to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man.
I love you. I give you My own strength to escape the tribulation to come for My Name is a strong tower that the righteous run into and are lifted high to escape the evil. Right up to the third Heaven with Jesus on the clouds of Heaven.
And Jesus said, “I am; and you shall see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.” Mark 14:62.
