First Message: What is the Mystery of the Trumpet Call?

ANNE’S MESSAGES TO THOSE LEFT BEHIND
…This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven. Acts 1:11
Several months ago, I posted a blog entitled, [URL='http://christianforums.net/blog/2014/jun/starting-conversation-message-those-left-behind/']Starting a Conversation: A Message for Those Left Behind. In it I said that I could almost hear the Last Trumpet being tuned for the one blast that will announce the beginning of the end.[/URL]
[URL='http://christianforums.net/Fellowship/#']I asked readers in that blog, when that moment comes, and they are caught up to meet the Lord, what they would wish they could say to those who are left behind. I want to answer my own question now in a series of four messages, in these days leading up to Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish Feast of Trumpets.
First Message: What is the Mystery of the Trumpet Call?
The Apostle Paul, in [URL='https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Corinthians+15%3A51-52&version=NKJV']1 Corinthians 15:51-52 refers to a mystery when the trumpet sounds. He gives a little more detail in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, but once again refers to the “trumpet call of God” that announces the return of Jesus Christ for those who have placed their faith in Him.[/URL]
[URL='http://christianforums.net/Fellowship/#']Because of the reference to the “trumpet,” many believe when Jesus returns for those who belong to Hm, He will do so on the Feast of Trumpets. It seems reasonable to assume that if He was crucified on the Feast of Passover, buried on the Feast of Unleavened Bread, raised on the Feast of the Firstfruits, that the pattern would continue, and He would return on the Feast of Trumpets. Interestingly, the Feast of Trumpets is also called the “Hidden Day,” because no one knows the exact day or hour of Rosh Hashanah. The only certainty is that it is one of the designated days. This year those days are September 24, 25 and 26.
Whether or not Jesus returns on this year’s Feast of Trumpets, we do know without doubt that there is coming a day when all people in the world who have put their trust in Jesus Christ as personal Savior and Lord are going to be suddenly removed. Caught up in the air to be with Jesus forever. While His followers will be experiencing the joy of His visible presence, those left behind are going to be plunged into worldwide grief and fear, chaos and confusion.
In light of this, God has placed on my heart several messages I would like to give to those who would be left behind if the rapture occurred today. In addition to this message, I will post three more on the next three days.
Join me tomorrow as I share with you the next message to those who are left be[/URL][/URL]

you might want to test more according to Scripture. a quick look/search of the 'history' of a.g.l. shows a very deceitful life.

Second Message: Is the World Falling Apart?
Sep 21, 2014

In my previous message, I shared briefly with you about the Mystery of the Trumpet. That moment in time when Jesus descends with a loud command, the shout of the archangel, and the trumpet call of God. Then those who have placed their trust in Jesus as Savior and Lord, whether dead or living, will be raised up in the air to meet Jesus and be with Him forever.
While we, His followers, are experiencing the joy of His visible presence, those who are left behind are going to be plunged into chaos and confusion. Think about it with me for a moment in this second message.
Anne's Messages to those Left Behind | Second Message: Is the World Falling Apart?
Our disappearance from the earth has been foretold in the Bible. It is an event that has been planned by God. Read the following Scriptures prayerfully.
Isaiah 26:19
1 Corinthians 15:51-52
1 Thessalonians 4:15-18
These are truly stunning Scriptures. They sound somewhat like Science Fiction. Except they are God’s Word. They are true. This event will take place at a specific point in time.
There are other Bible passages that speak of this Event, but these are the clearest and most familiar descriptions. This event has been labeled the Rapture of the Church. It does not mean that everyone who is a church member will go to be with Jesus. It is not referring to an organization or denomination or religion. It is referring to the Body of Christ which is made up of individuals all over the world who have placed their faith in Him as Savior and Lord. When we disappear, remember, the world is not falling apart. It is falling into place according to God’s sovereign purpose. Don’t worry about those who have disappeared. Don’t grieve for us. We are safe with Jesus. We will not be coming back until He does, in about 7 or 8 years from the time of our disappearance.
Our disappearance signals The Beginning of the End. God’s final judgment on the world has now begun. The world will be plunged into chaos. You will witness very quickly political, financial, national and institutional collapse. Planes will fall out of the sky when pilots disappear; cars will crash on highways when drivers disappear; battles will be lost when soldiers disappear; crime will skyrocket as policemen disappear; patients will die when surgeons and nurses disappear…you get the picture. Chaos.
But there is hope. This is my word to you in that chaotic moment: We have disappeared, but God has not. He is still right there. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He is in control and His love for you has not been diminished. He still loves you with an everlasting love. He is still the One who is watching over you, who even now is calling out to you through this message, inviting you to turn to Him—put your trust in Him—Right now.
He will be with you 24/7 as you go through these terrible days. My prayer is that you will turn to God, which is the subject of my next message.

Anne's Messages to those Left Behind | Third Message: Is It Too Late For Those Left Behind To Be Saved?
In my last message, I described briefly how the rapture of believers and their sudden disappearance will impact the world. There will be unprecedented chaos and confusion. But it’s not too late to turn to God.
Call on Him. Cry out to Him. Just say, “God. Help me! Save me!” He is listening for your cry. It’s not too late for you to get right with God. To be on God’s side. But you must intentionally, deliberately place your trust in Him.
Confess your sin to God. Tell Him why you have not put your trust in Him until now. Tell Him you are sorry; you know you are a sinner. Tell Him you believe Jesus died for you, and ask Him to forgive you and come into your heart. He will. He will place His Spirit within you and will never leave you or forsake you. As you go through the terrible troubles ahead, He will be right there with you. And if you die before the 2nd Coming of Jesus, or if you endure to the End, God the Father will welcome you into His heavenly home because you are now His child through your faith in His Son, Jesus Christ. And God the Father takes care of His children.
It’s critical for your eternal safety and well-being that you put your trust in Jesus right now. Don’t wait one more minute. Pray now. The following is a sample prayer you can pray:
Dear God,
I’m scared to death. My whole world has just come crashing down. I’m desperate for help. For someone to make sense out of this. To help me cope with the turmoil and confusion. I know I’m a sinner. I’m sorrier than I have ever been. I am willing right now to forsake my sin. I believe Jesus died for me. I’m asking You to apply His death to my sin and forgive me. I believe He rose from the dead to open Heaven for me. I’m asking You to give me eternal life in His name. I invite Him to come into my heart, and take control. Of everything. Please. In the days that are left until He returns, I will live my life for Him. Thank You for hearing and answering my prayer. Amen.
If you put your trust in Jesus, He will rescue you. He will save you. At His 2nd Coming He will deliver you from what seems like hell on earth.
Once you have established a personal relationship with God through faith in Jesus Christ, you can talk to Him. Any time. All the time. Talking to God is called prayer. He is now your Father. Tell Him about your fears. Your confusion. Your anger. Your needs. Your desperation and hope. Ask Him to give you strength, wisdom, courage, direction as you live your life now under His authority. Ask Him to show you how to live in the midst of chaos. Talk to Him about anything. Everything. Nothing is too small for His attention. Or too big for His ability to do something about.
And He will have things He wants to say to you through His Word, the Bible. If you don’t have a Bible, get one. It will be the most important thing that you now own. Read the New Testament. The first four books are biographies of Jesus. The fifth book, Acts, describes the power of the Holy Spirit as He establishes the church. A power that is yours today. The rest of the New Testament is comprised primarily of letters that explain the teachings of Jesus. Except for the last book, Revelation, which is a prophetic account of what you are now experiencing. It reveals the end of God’s Story—the end of human history as we know it. Ask God to open your spiritual eyes and give you an understanding of the Truth as you read. Ask Him to speak to you as you read. He will give you promises and principles on which you can anchor your faith..1
And if you need help expressing yourself in prayer, read the Psalms in the Old Testament, and make them your own prayers.
While the financial, institutional, national, personal, environmental storms will get worse during the next few years, your anchor of faith in Jesus that is rooted in God’s Word will hold.
In the next and final message I will briefly describe where world events are headed.

Fourth Message: What Is the World Coming To?
Anne's Messages to those Left Behind | Fourth Message: What Is the World Coming To?
We have briefly considered the Mystery of the Trumpet Call, whether or not the world is falling apart, and the wonderful hope that should you be left behind, it’s not too late for you to turn to God and ask Him to save you. God’s judgment on this world will come to an end. The final outcome will be glorious!
There will be an end to chaos, confusion, fear, threats, wars, betrayals, wickedness, hatred and evil. The End will come exactly seven years after a world leader signs a peace treaty with the nation of Israel. The signing of this treaty that appears to bring peace to the Middle East will actually signal the beginning of the End. For three and a half years, there will be relative peace between Israel and her neighbors. But after three and a half years the world leader will break the treaty with Israel and the pretense of peace will be erased. The final End will come when the nations of the world send their armies to the Middle East for a climactic battle known as Armageddon. When it will appear as though God’s people, Israel and Jerusalem will be overcome and the human race annihilated, Jesus Himself will return. Physically. Visibly. To the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem. He will destroy all of His enemies, save His people which includes you if you have put your faith in Him, and establish His reign and rule in the world as He ushers in His kingdom of peace, justice, righteousness and love. And the whole world will be filled with His glory!
There is hope for the world. And there is hope for you. The hope is Jesus Christ.
He is coming. Jesus is coming! He is coming, not just in the air to take His followers to be with Him in Heaven, but He is coming back to this earth as King of kings and Lord of lords! He is the first and He is the Last. He is the beginning of everything and He is the End of everything. He is the Lamb of God who is also the Lion of Judah. He is the Son of God who is also the Son of Man. He is the Messiah of Israel. Our Redeemer, Savior, and Lord. And He is coming again!
My prayer for you is found in Colossians 1:9-11, one of the letters in the New Testament:
For this reason, since the day I heard about you, I have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of His will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding. And I pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please Him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to His glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience…
May God pour out His Spirit upon you for the living of these critical days.
