Right Now, Wherever They Are

I tell you, in that night there will be two men in one bed: the one will be taken and the other will be left. Two women will be grinding together: the one will be taken and the other left. Two men will be in the field: the one will be taken and the other left.” Luke 17:34-36

Jesus tells us of that night in this passage of His holy word; He tells us of the Rapture, for the unbeliever a greatly chilling prophecy. We don't know the date or hour of this great event or what each individual will be doing when it comes, but we do know it will happen right now, wherever they are and we know that people in general will be sleeping or working. In this Jesus shows that He knows the times and time.

The time is so immediate and quick that men and women right beside each other doing the same activity, working or resting, will be taken completely by surprise. One will be taken and the other left behind. The times are what we have in this age in a deceitful attempt to confuse the issue. In one part of the world it will be dark and people sleeping, while in another part folks will be doing their work. Note how we typically sleep for 1/3 of each day or about 8 hours, and the Lord shows one pair sleeping and two pairs awake and active. He knows the times, and the times are right now, wherever they are. It may be just past midnight tomorrow in Auckland, New Zealand, but that won't stop the right now of the Rapture happening all over the globe at the Lord's command, and over here we will not have to wait for that tomorrow to come.

We may also see in this passage two men in one bed, and in this age of tolerance in the world that is indeed a warning for us that the timing of this great event is near. Has that not happened before in many an age? Sure, but acceptance of such things is perhaps more widespread across the world than ever. Time for us to be watchful; the time is very near!

Grace and peace to you in the Lord Jesus Christ,
