The great Pay-Day
Soon Jesus shall come and take his people up to heaven,
then we must be ready. This will also be the great payday for
God's people. "And, behold, I am coming quickly, and My
reward is with Me, to give to each one as his work is."
Rev. 22:12.
For many Christians that day will not be so glorious as it
ought to be. Much of what they mean that they have done for
the Lord comes to shows as worthless before him. "... the
work of each one will be revealed; for the Day will make it
known, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire will prove
the work of each one, what sort it is. If the work of anyone
which he built remains, he will receive a reward. If the work
of anyone shall be burned down, he shall suffer loss; but he
will be saved, but so as through fire." 1 Cor. 3:11-15. For
many Christians it will be a great humiliation, when they see
their whole work, or a big part of it, be destroyed by fire.
When the Lord comes and takes his people up to heaven, it
is something so enormously great. Something like this never
has in the history of the world take place. This will happen
in a moment, everywhere above the whole earth. All God's
people will be changed and disappear from the earth.
"Behold, I tell a mystery to you: we shall not all sleep, but we
shall all be changed. In a moment, in a glance of an eye, at the
last trumpet; for a trumpet will sound, and the dead ones will
be raised incorruptible, and we shall all be changed. For this
corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal one must
put on immortality." 1 Cor. 15:51-53.
"But I do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, about the ones
having fallen asleep, that you not grieve, as the rest also, the
ones not having hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and
rose again, also God will also bring with Him all the ones
having fallen asleep through Jesus. For we say this to you in
the Word of the Lord, that we the living who remain to the
coming of the Lord will not at all go before the ones having
fallen asleep. Because the Lord Himself shall come down from
Heaven with a commanding shout of an archangel's voice, and
with God's trumpet. And the dead ones in Christ will rise again
first. Then we who remain alive will be caught up together
with them in the clouds to a meeting with the Lord in the air.
And so we will always be with the Lord. So, then, comfort
each other with these words." 1 Thess. 4:13-18.
All those who have lived on the earth from the days of the
apostles, and have believed in Jesus and served him, will rise
from the dead. Not enough with that. All those who under the
time of the Old Testament have believed in God and served
him, will also rise with the first resurrection. It must imply
that all those who during the whole history of the world have
believed in God and served him, will meet Jesus when he
comes.
When this happens, that God's people rise from the death and
receive heavenly, immortal bodies, then God's wrath comes
at once above the ungodly world. "And likewise, as it was in
the days of Lot, they were eating, drinking, buying, selling,
planting, building; but on the day Lot went out from Sodom,
it rained fire and brimstone from the heaven and destroyed all.
According to those things, it will be in the day the Son of
Man is revealed." Luke 17:28-30.
In this conjunction it is foolish that adhere to the unbiblical
church system and denominations and their doctrines. Consider
how you are now doing and decide. It will be fateful for your
eternal existence. Those who do not obey this powerful revival
message of the Lord, and have not come out of the great
Babylon when Jesus comes, they will get their part of the
plagues of the great harlot.
What that is now needed, for the restoration of the Assembly
of God, is humility before God's word, and a forgiving
disposition to each other. But we do not need to forgive and
love Satan, or defend his false doctrines.
