THE PROMISE OF CHRIST'S COMING FOR US!
John 14:3 - "I will come again."
1 Thessalonians 4:16 - "The Lord Himself shall descend from heaven."
THE NECESSITY OF A PERSONAL FAITH!

BIBLICAL EXAMPLES OF PEOPLE
BEING TAKEN UP INTO THE CLOUDS!
Genesis 5:24 - And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.
2 Kings 2:11 - And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
Acts 1:9 - And when Jesus had spoken these things, while they beheld, He was taken up; and a cloud received Him out of their sight.
BIBLICAL EXAMPLES OF PEOPLE BEING LIFTED UP
ABOVE THE OUTPOURING OF GOD'S WRATH BELOW!
Genesis 7:17 - And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth.
Genesis 19:29-30 - And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when He overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt. And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.
Revelation 11:11-13 - And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them (the two witnesses), and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them. And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
BECAUSE THE WORD OF GOD TEACHES THAT ALL WHO BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST WILL BE SPARED FROM THE TRIBULATION (A.K.A. THE TIME OF JACOB'S TROUBLE AND DANIEL'S SEVENTIETH WEEK), THE TIME TO ACCEPT JESUS AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR IS NOW!
TIME IS RUNNING OUT! DO NOT DELAY!
