Wisdom
to Hang on
Till the
Rapture
By
Arthur
Joachim
Rodricks
The title of
this article
might sound
strange to
many who are
being saved.
During the
past few
weeks, I’ve
felt a
burden,
which
compels me
to write on
this
subject. So
here I am,
all smiling
and
happy in
front of my
laptop,
getting it
out to you
all, with
joy in my
heart
because I
know: His
burden is
light and
easy.
Focus on the
words of
Jesus for
inspiration:
“Take my
yoke upon
you, and
learn of me;
for I am
meek and
lowly in
heart: and
ye shall
find rest
unto your
souls. For
my yoke is
easy, and my
burden is
light”
(Matthew
11:29-30).
Those who
are saved,
go through
levels of
ever-growing
spiritual
maturity to
finally
conform to
the
spiritual
maturity
(perfection
of
character)
of God our
Father, and
our Lord and
Savior Jesus
Christ.
Some who are
just saved
recently,
might find
it difficult
coping with
the wisdom
I’m about to
talk of
in this
article, but
I’m sure
you'll get
it when you
start using
it. Those
who are
nearing
perfection
get
the point.
Focus on the
words of
Jesus, about
perfection:
“Be ye
therefore
perfect,
even as your
Father which
is in heaven
is perfect”
(Matthew
5:48).
True, we’re
in the
end-times.
For a
moment,
let’s look
at the world
through the
sight of
Jesus
Christ.
Do you see
that there
should be a
clear
division
right now,
between
those who
will be
“whisked
off”
in the
Rapture and
those who
will be left
behind
(non-Christians).
Focus on the
words of
Jesus, about
division:
“Two men
shall be in
the field;
the one
shall be
taken, and
the other
left” (Luke
17:36).
Many of you
will see
this
division
everywhere
nowadays.
Why?
The answer
is simple.
Jesus needs
to make a
decision on
who is hot
and on fire
for the
Father and
His Kingdom,
to whisk
them off to
heaven.
Focus on the
words of
Jesus, about
His
decision:
“I know thy
works, that
thou art
neither cold
nor hot: I
would thou
wert cold or
hot. So then
because
thou art
lukewarm,
and neither
cold nor
hot, I will
spue thee
out of my
mouth”
(Revelation
3:15-16).
Satan has a
strong grip
on the
unsaved
people
by keeping
them bonded
to the
pleasures of
the flesh,
and blinded,
from the
saving grace
of God
through
Jesus. We
need to
understand
that we can
only pray
for such
people, we
can’t do
anything
more than
that to save
them. Unless
such a
person
understands
his human
weakness and
wants to
overcome
them,
sorrowfully
repents and
prays to
God, and
asks for
prayer by
others then
he can’t be
saved
by the grace
of God.
Focus on the
words of
Jesus, about
His saving
grace:
“My grace is
sufficient
for thee:
for my
strength is
made perfect
in weakness”
(2
Corinthians
12:9).
You all will
find many
non-Christians
and
cold/lukewarm
Christians
around you.
Take it
easy, don’t
be surprised
at why
they're not
like you.
When we cook
rice, a
pinch of
salt is
added for
taste.
Understand
that you’re
the salt,
they are the
grains of
rice, and
you know the
ratio of
salt to
rice. The
wisdom I’m
talking
about is,
don’t push
the
Christian
walk and
talk onto
them, unless
they’re
asking
for
direction.
If you push,
you’d face
persecution.
Yes,
persecution,
from whom?
You'll know.
Focus on the
divine
knowledge
given
through
Paul: “For
we wrestle
not against
flesh and
blood, but
against
principalities,
against
powers,
against the
rulers of
the darkness
of this
world,
against
spiritual
wickedness
in high
places”
(Ephesians
6:12).
Were on the
cusp of the
end of the
Church Age.
We leave in
the Rapture.
Then Satan
takes charge
of
those who
are left
behind. He
can’t begin
setting up
his stage
after we’re
gone because
it will take
him a couple
of
centuries.
So, to stand
up and rule,
obviously
Satan needs
his ways
widespread
all
over the
world to
take control
instantly
through the
Antichrist,
that’s why
you see
worldwide
antichristian:
homosexuality,
abortions,
abuse, a one
world
everything
platform,
and the USA
being
stripped off
its glory
and power to
give the UN
worldwide
dominion.
Take it easy
and don’t be
surprised at
what’s
happening.
Instead be
patient,
rejoice and
be glad
because we
will see the
close of the
Church Age
and take-off
in a
fantastic
flight to
heaven.
Focus on the
words of
Jesus about
what we need
to look
forward to:
“And when
these things
begin to
come to
pass, then
look up, and
lift up your
heads; for
your
redemption
draweth
nigh” (Luke
21:28).
May God
bless you
all.
