All Doves:

Caution - things are closer than they appear.

(33.)
One of the recorded Rapture events in the Bible is that of Philip being "caught up" and immediately he found himself at Azotus.  The Lord said to Philip arise 3X to Philip in Acts 8.
Acts 8:29 - "The the Spirit said to Philip, "Go up and join this chariot."

Acts 8:30 - "When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away; and the eunuch no longer saw him, but went on his way rejoicing."

Acts 8:40 - "But Philip found himself at Azotus, and as he passed through he kept preaching the gospel to all the cities until he came to Caesarea."

(34.)
The vessel was taken up.
Acts 10:16 - "This happened three times, and immediately the object was taken up into the sky."

(35.)
The dead in Christ have neither been forsake or forgotten.
1st Corinthians 15:51 - "Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed."

1st Corinthians 15:52 - "In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed."

(36.)
Paul had a foretaste of eternity.
2nd Corinthians 12:4 - "Was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which a man is not permitted to speak."

(37.)
For what is the believer's hope?
1st Thessalonians 2:19 - "For who is our hope or joy or crown of exultation?  Is it not even you, in the presence of our Lord Jesus at His coming?"

(38.)
God does not sweat the small details in the Master's Plan.
1st Thessalonians 4:14 - "For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus."

1st Thessalonians 4:15 - "For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep."

1st Thessalonians 4:16 - "For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first."

1st Thessalonians 4:17 - "Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord."

(39.)
That day comes as a surprise to those not alert, awake, or watching.
1st Thessalonians 5:2 - "For you yourselves know full well the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night."

(40.)
Have you reconfirmed reservations before your boarding flight time?
Hebrews 2:3 - "How will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation? After it was at the first spoken through the Lord, it was confirmed to us by those who heard."

Do not let the naysayers and minions of Lucifer steal your joy.
