"Faith, Enoch, Us and a Heavenly
City"
Dear John and Doves,
I asked God if He could give me a word of encouragement, in regards to His soon coming (rapture) for His Bride. This is what I was lead too. Hebrews Ch.11. There is no intent to take scripture out of context. Just pointing out an encouraging similarity.
Now faith is confidence in what we hope for (The Rapture) and assurance about what we do not see. This (Faith) is what the ancients were (We Are) commended for. By faith Enoch was (we will be) taken from this life, so that he did not (We Will Not) experience death: “He could not (We Will Not) be found, because God had taken him (Us) away.” For before he was (We Were) taken, he was (We Were) commended as one (As Many) who pleased God. 6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
10 For he (Abraham) and (Us His Children By Faith) was (Are) looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God. Admitting that they were (We Are) foreigners and strangers on earth. 14 People (Such As Us) who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own. 15 If they had been thinking of the country (Countries We Live In) they had left they (We Would) would have had opportunity to (Remain) return. 16 Instead, they were (We Are) longing for a better country—a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their (Our) God, for he has prepared a city for them (Us).
