A Sermon About Lazarus, Enoch, And The Last Trump Of God Describing The Rapture

 


Soon There Will Be A Rapture Catching Up To The Clouds
Of The Dead In Christ Followed By Living Christians
To Be With Jesus Forever 

Get Saved And Escape The Future Tribulation Wrath Coming To This Earth
Repent, Decide To Stop Sinning, Confess That Jesus Is God
Believe The Gospel That Jesus Died For You On The Cross
Was Buried, And Rose Again

     1 Thessalonians 4:16 describes the rapture of the church saying For the Lord (Jesus) Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout with the voice of the archangel (Michael), and with the trump of God, 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. 1 Corinthians 15:51 also describes the rapture saying Behold, I shew you a mystery (no one knows the exact time of the rapture; it's a mystery so always be ready to leave this earth to meet Jesus in the clouds); We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump, for the trumpet shall sound (God's voice and not the last trumpet sounded by an angel during the tribulation), and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we (living christians) shall be changed.



Blessed Sayings About The Rapture

I'm not looking for the undertaker, I'm looking for the uppertaker (Jesus Christ)
I'm not looking for a hole in the ground, I'm looking for a hole in the sky
I'm not looking for a sign, I'm listening for a sound

1 Corinthians 15:55 Will Happen During The Rapture
The living christians that get new glorified bodies at the rapture will say
O death, where is thy sting?
The dead in Christ that get new glorified bodies at the rapture will say
O grave, where is thy victory?

Christian's Are Getting Out Of Here Like Superman
And They're Coming Back To This Earth
On White Horses Like The Lone Ranger

The Trump's Gonna Toot, And We're Gonna Scoot
When God Toots, We're Gonna Scoot

Very Soon We're Gonna Meet The Boss (Jesus)
Saints On Earth Will Mourn Our Loss
And Then We'll Ride Back To Earth On Our White Hoss




Lazarus Represents The Dead In Christ At The Rapture

     Lazarus represents the dead in Christ at the rapture. After Lazarus had been dead for four days, John 11:43 says And when He (Jesus) had thus spoken, He cried with a loud voice (shout), Lazarus, come forth; And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes; and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him and let him go. Note that if Jesus just said Come forth, not mentioning Lazarus' name, everybody in the graveyards would have risen.

     When Jesus descends in the clouds with a shout during the rapture, instead of just saying Lazarus come forth, Jesus will call the dead in Christ and the living christians by name saying Come up hither (Come forth). Christian reading this like Lazarus, soon Jesus is going to call your name with a trumpet shout during the rapture saying Come up hither (Come forth). John 10:3 tells us To Him (Jesus) the porter openeth; and the sheep (christians) hear his voice, and He calleth His own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when He putteth forth His own sheep, He goeth before them, and the sheep follow Him; for they know His voice. What a glorious day when I hear Jesus shout Brother Bob Malkin Come up hither (Come forth). Rejoice because soon Jesus is gonna call your name (christian) saying Come up hither and you'll rise to glorious peace in the rapture with Jesus forever.

     Like Lazarus, our dead christian friends and relatives will rise from their graves and be alive with Jesus during the rapture of the church. God promises at Hosea 13:14 I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death; O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance (sorrow) shall be hid from mine eyes. And christians will recognize one another during that great open air campmeeting in the clouds during the rapture. 1 Corinthians 13:12 tells us For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face; now I know in part, but then shall I know even as also I am known. In other words christians will be known in heaven. What a great reunion when we see and recognize all our loved christian friends and relatives in heaven. It will be like when Peter, James, and John recognized Moses (who was raised from the dead) on the Mount of Transfiguration. 



Enoch Represents The Living Christians At The Rapture

     Enoch represents the living christians at the rapture. Genesis 5:24 speaks about Enoch: And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him. Hebrews 11:5 also speaks about Enoch saying By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation (moving from earth to heaven) he had this testimony, that he pleased God. 

     Like Enoch who was raptured (caught up to heaven) without dying, living christians at the rapture will not die and be caught up to the clouds with the dead in Christ to meet the Lord Jesus in heaven. Notice that Enoch walked with God and "was not." Americans have astronauts, Russians have cosmonauts, but become a "was not" like Enoch on this earth, soon leaving this earth at the rapture to be in heaven.

     Therefore Enoch is a picture of the living saints caught up to be with Jesus at the rapture escaping death. Noah and his family are different representing Jews and Gentiles (tribulation saints and not the church) enduring to the end of the seven year tribulation on earth by overcoming the beast antichrist. Unlike Enoch, God did not take Noah out of the world with a rapture before the flood. God preserved Noah in an ark on this earth where Noah endured and survived to the end of the flood.


Enoch The 7th From The First Adam Is Like
Today's Christians In The Laodicean Church
Who Are In The 7th Laodicean Church From The Last Adam (Jesus)
Enoch And Christians In The Laodicean Church
Will Be Raptured To Heaven Without Dying

     Jude 14 tells us that Enoch was the 7th person from the first Adam. And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands (an innumerable multitude) of His saints. To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him. These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.

     Like Enoch the 7th person from the first Adam, soon christians in the 7th Laodicean church from the last Adam (Jesus) will be raptured, escape death, and disappear from this earth. Enoch and living christians at the rapture are exceptions that escape death's appointment noted at Hebrews 9:27 that says And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment. Enoch is the only old testament person that never dies because he represents the living christians at the rapture that never die. 


     Note that even though Hebrews 9:27 says it is appointed unto men once to die, some people in the bible die twice. Lazarus, Jairus' daughter, Dorcas, Eutychus, and the widow of Nain's son died twice. Moses and Elijah are the two olive trees and witnesses mentioned at Revelation 11:3-6. Enoch is not one of these witnesses because Hebrews 11:5 says that Enoch shall not see death; the two witnesses (Moses and Elijah) will die. Moses dies twice. First God buries Moses after death and Moses reappears alive with Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration. Then Moses dies a second time during the great tribulation and rises again to life (Revelation 11:7-11). 



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 Corinthians 15:51 speaks about the two trumpets heard by christians during the rapture. Behold I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed (this is a blessed sign to place over the church baby nursery). In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump (note that there must be a preceding trump sound before the second last trump sound), for the trumpet shall sound (God's voice), and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

     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.

     Notice another reason why two trumpet sounds will be heard by christians during the rapture. According to Numbers 10:2-3 the first trumpet sound of God's voice will be for the calling of the assembly. The dead in Christ and the living christians will first hear the Lord Jesus' voice like a trumpet calling their name saying Come up hither together to the clouds. John 10:3 says To Him (Jesus) the porter openeth and His sheep hear His voice: and He calleth His own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when He putteth forth His own sheep, He goeth before them, and the sheep follow Him, for they know His voice. When he calls me I will answer, I'll be somewhere listening for my name. The second trumpet sound of God's voice will be a signal for the journeying of the camps where the dead in Christ and the living saints journey together to meet the Lord Jesus in the air for a joyous reunion celebration forever.

     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. 

     I pray in Jesus name that this bible study blesses multitudes all over this earth with great peace, strength, and joy.

Till we all meet again soon to lift up our Lord Jesus, everyone have a blessed day in Jesus name.
