THE RAPTURE OF THE DEAD
How It Will Take Place
November 26, 2006 Vision Of The Lord
By Dr. OWUOR
When the Lord repeatedly speaks, again and again, regarding an event,
it normally implies an extreme state of urgency prevailing in his heart
about that matter. At the time when Israel was in Egypt, Joseph
unveiled this matter of repeated conversations with the Lord (Genesis
41:32). For the church also, a repeated conversation by the Lord God on
one item often underscores the gravity and urgency of that matter to
the Lord God. Accordingly, the Lord has spoken about the rapture in
several forms including the weddings rings in the sky, the Clock of God
in the sky, the white glorious horse in the sky, and the mighty Voice
that spoke on the January 7, 2008 saying,
“The advent of
Christ is near.”
Much as it is a lot of love directed to the church, it also is lot of
responsibility to not only prepare but also evangelize the unreached so
they too may see the Kingdom of God.
On November 26, 2006, while in a mighty repentance meeting at Kehancha,
the Lord lifted me up above the earth, and I saw the visions of the
Lord. In that vision I saw what appeared to be an earthquake befall the
earth only to comprehend that in actual fact people in their glorious
bodies were being pulled from their graves by the mighty glory of the
Lord. As the glory of the Lord pulled them, the awe-inspiring Voice of
the Lord said,
“Look and see how many of the asleep in the dust of the earth are caught up in the rapture.”
When I looked, I saw people in their glorious bodies being pulled by
the incredible glory of the Lord that had saturated the skies. And they
were caught up with the Lord, being raptured into heaven (1
Thessalonians 4:13-17).
There is a message that the Lord of Hosts is presenting to the church
based on this vision of the rapture of the dead. I quickly recognised
that this was the same vision the Lord had staged to Daniel, the
Prophet of God Almighty (Daniel 12:2-3). However, in that vision,
Daniel had seen those who were wise, shining like the brightness of the
heavens while those who led many into the righteousness (salvation) of
the Lord, shone with the brilliance of the stars forever and ever. The
wise that Daniel talks about here, is a message embedded within this
vision and directed to today’s church of Christ. The wise are those who
live in the fear of the Lord since it is the beginning of all wisdom
(Proverbs 9:10; Proverbs 1:7).
It is a call to return to the fear of the Lord, a call that the Lord is
directing to the church today. Indeed, today’s church has totally lost
the fear of the Lord to the extent that they are not any more awed at
his mighty Name. Moreover, the fact that those who led many into the
righteousness of the Lord, exuded the radiance of the stars, implies
that God is calling on this church of today, to evangelize the holy
Jesus of Nazareth so that many people may attain the holiness of the
Lord. Only the salvation of the Lord will permit the saints into the
wedding of the Lamb of God. It is a vivid presentation of the events at
the judgment seat of Christ, the white throne of judgement in which the
different raptured christian will be rewarded differently (Revelations
22:12). The inevitable questions that rock one’s heart out of this
vision is, has the church lived under the fear of the Lord? Has this
church led many people into the righteousness of the Lord?
Following the practices of the church today, it is true that she may
have even led the heathen away from Christ. The corruption and the
immorality being displayed in today’s church in the public will most
definitely not attract other religions and the heathen to Christ. The
blatant deception displayed on christian television in which right from
the onset, the faces of the preachers right away tell that there is a
lie being manufactured. This does not auger well to endtime evangelism
and poses a very serious challenge to the church of Christ. The
challenge is as to whether she will make it into the wedding of the
Lamb.
EVEN SO, COME QUICKLY LORD JESUS CHRIST
