Maybe Only Those ... 🤔

Maybe ONLY those who will hear Jesus call with a "loud command" are those listening for His voice.

Maybe ONLY those who will be "caught up" are those ready to leave everything behind. 

"For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 

After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever."

(1 Thessalonians 4:16-17)

Maybe ONLY those who will see Jesus's "Glorious appearing" are those who have longed for it.

"Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing."

(2 Timothy 4:8)

Maybe ONLY those who will be clothed with "immortality" and "swallowed up in victory" are those who hate corruption.

Maybe ONLY those who will "inherit the Kingdom of God ... in the twinkling of an eye" are those who live their lives desiring to be changed into something better.

'I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.  

Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— 

 in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 

 For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: 

“Death has been swallowed up in victory.”

(1 Corinthians 15:50-54)

"Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. 

They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? 

(2 Peter 3:3-4)

Maybe ALL who scoff at Jesus's Second "Coming" and doubt his Promise are those He Leaves Behind.❗️
