A Story For Everyone That Puts A Dollar Into The Church Offering

A father, mother, and little boy were leaving church one Sunday morning.
The father said the church was boring, the choir couldn't sing,
No one was friendly, the pastor couldn't preach, and nobody shook my hand.
Then the little boy said I thought it was a pretty good show for a buck.

Taps And Reveille

Taps is a bugle call played at dusk proclaiming the day is done
Reveille is a bugle call played at sunrise proclaiming wake up

     Winston Churchill planned his own funeral down to the last detail. According to his direction, following the benediction, a bugler positioned high in the dome of a church played Taps-the univeral signal that the day is over and ended. Then after the last note of Taps, from the other side of the great dome, another bugler played Reveille-the universal signal for a new day beginning. 

     Remember friends, at death Taps may be played here on earth, but Reveille will instantly be played in heaven. 2 Corinthians 5:8 says We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body (Taps), and to be present (Reveille) with the Lord. Jesus took away the sting of death for all saints. When any saint leaves this earth, they won't hear Taps. They will hear Reveille

     Christians should never say goodbye at the graveside. There is hope for saints and they can say "I'll see you again my friend." Don't dread death. Taps may play here, but we will have Reveille there in heaven. Listen for the Reveille trumpet. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. Revelation 22:20.

     Friend reading this anywhere, you can hear Reveille instead of Taps by getting saved today. Get saved, repent, decide to stop sinning, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died on the cross for you, was buried, and rose again. You will escape death, hell, and the lake of fire and be blessed with eternal life, peace, and happiness in the kingdom of God forevermore.

The Two Trumpets Heard By Christians During The Rapture

     Numbers 10:2 speaks about two trumpets heard by christians during the rapture. This is a beautiful picture of the rapture. Make thee two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shalt thou make them: that thou mayest use them for the calling of the assembly, and for the journeying of the camps. And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall assemble themselves to thee at the door (Jesus) of the tabernacle of the congregation.

     The two trumpets heard by christians at the rapture will be God's voice (called the trump of God) and has nothing to do with seven angels blowing seven trumpets during the tribulation after the opening of the seventh seal (Revelation 8:1-2). In other words the rapture won't occur during the tribulation. The rapture will occur before the tribulation where God's voice will be the sound of the two trumpets.

The Scriptures Below Proving That God's Voice Is The Sound Of A Trumpet

     When Moses and the children of Israel heard God's voice at Mount Sinai, it was the sound of a trumpet. Exodus 19:18 says And Mount Sinai was altogether on smoke, because the Lord descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly. And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice. When John heard God's voice it was the sound of a trumpet. John said at Revelation 1:10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice (from the Lord Jesus), as of a trumpet, Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last. John also said at Revelation 4:1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet (God's voice) talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.

1) The First Trumpet Sound (God's Voice) Heard By The Dead In Christ
Will Be The Bugle Call Reveille
The Second Trumpet Sound (God's Voice) Heard By The Living Saints 
Will Be The Bugle Mess Call And The Call To Post
With The Holy Ghost Proclaiming They're Off

The Blessed Bugle Calls (Reveille, The Mess Call, And The Call To Post)


     1 Thessalonians 4:16 describes the two trumpet sounds (God's voice) heard by christians during the rapture. For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout (first trumpet sound), with the voice of the archangel (Michael), and with the trump of God (second trumpet sound or last trump of God's voice that has nothing to do with an angel blowing a trumpet during the tribulation): and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

     Finally, there will be an interval between the first and second trumpet sounds of God's voice during the rapture. I don't know how long the interval will be between the first trumpet sound heard by the dead in Christ and the second trumpet sound heard by the living saints. It might be a moment, 1 second, 15 seconds, 15 minutes, a day, or a half hour of silence (like the half hour that will occur when God opens the seventh seal before the seven trumpets of tribulation wrath happen on the earth noted at Revelation 8:1): And when He had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.

     I believe that there will be two trumpets of God's voice sounding during the rapture. When the living saints hear the first trumpet sound of God's voice for the dead in Christ, it will be a warning before they get caught up to the clouds during the second trumpet. What would you do if you heard that first trumpet sound and had a half hour to be on this earth before the rapture? Instead of saying like Paul Revere-The British are coming. Tell everyone everywhere Jesus is coming. Get ready for the rapture. But Brother Bob says always be ready for the rapture that is a mystery where no one but the Father knows the exact time for the rapture. Luke 21:36 tells us Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. 

A preacher told everyone I know exactly when Jesus is coming
After a crowd of curious people went to this preacher's revival
The preacher said He's coming at an hour when you think not

Luke 12:40 says Be ye therefore ready also: 
for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not. 



Blessed Quotes From DL Moody, CT Studd, and George Muller

     When people asked DL Moody "Why do you press so hard to get people saved? Don't you know that the world is getting to be a better place in which to live?" Mr. Moody answered, "I picture the world as a wrecked vessel drawing nearer and nearer to destruction. God gave me a lifeboat and said, Here, Moody, save all you can." Hallelujah DL Moody was faithful and won a million souls to Jesus. My favorite quote of DL Moody is "I've never met a man that gave me more trouble than myself." When you look at yourself in the mirror say "Now what are you up to today." Deny yourself daily by studying the 1611 KJV Word of God, going to church, and taking time to pray..

     CT Studd was a very wealthy man that gave away all of his money to be a missionary in China, India, and Africa. CT Studd said "If Jesus Christ be God and He died for me, then there is no sacrifice too great for me to make for Him. I may never be what I wish to be for Christ, but one thing I can be is loyal. I want to hear Him say to me, Well done, thou good and faithful servant." CT Studd inherited millions of dollars from his family and gave it all away to help win souls for Jesus by blessing the ministries of DL Moody and George Muller's orphans. 

     Because of CT Studd's sacrifice, millions of souls were saved in China, India, and Africa. CT Studd said "Only one life twill soon be past, only what's done for Jesus Christ will last." He also said "Some want to live within the sound of church or chapel bell but I want to run a rescue shop within a yard of hell." Remember replace the Exit sign in your church with the words "You are now entering the mission field."

     George Muller said "There was a day that I utterly died to George Muller and his opinions, preferences, tastes, and will. Died to the world, its approval or censure, and since then I have studied only to show myself approved unto God." George Muller trusted daily that Jesus would provide food for thousands of orphans that he cared for. One day when there was no food for breakfast, George Muller thanked Jesus by faith for food and milk. Then immediately a woman knocked at the door with enough bread and molasses to feed all the orphans. Then a farmer's wagon lost a wheel in the front of the orphanage that was carrying many bottles of milk. The farmer said that George Muller could take all the milk for the orphans.  


A Blessed Story About A Boy Picking Up Starfish

     A man was walking along a beach at sunset. He could see a young boy in the distance. The boy kept bending down, picking something up, and throwing it into the water. The boy was picking up starfish one at a time that had been washed up and he was throwing them back into the water. 

     The man asked the boy "What are you doing?" The boy replied "I am throwing these washed up starfish back into the ocean or else they will die." The man told the boy "You can't possibly save them all. There are thousands on this beach. You can't make a difference." The little boy smiled, bent down, and picked up another starfish and as he threw it back into the ocean he replied, "I made a difference to that one."

     Jude 22 says And of some have compassion, making a difference; And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire, hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. In this troubled world be a difference maker. Have compassion on someone today and tell them about the Lord Jesus. Don't be selfish. Witness Jesus everywhere. Be a soul winner for our Lord Jesus one at a time. 1 Corinthians 3:6 says I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.  

     I pray in Jesus name that this bible study blesses multitudes everywhere with great joy, peace, and strength. Feel free to email Brother Bob anytime at rz9tlm@gmail.com or write to Brother Bob Malkin, 2233 Pinetree Lane, Apt. N., Reynoldsburg, Ohio 43068. (614) 746-7071. Till we all meet again soon to lift up our Lord Jesus, everyone have a blessed day in Jesus name.
