RAPTURE.THE_  YUMA.AZ  V-5 N-14  SATURDAY_  65-1204

  128    The word "rapture" in the Bible is not even used at all. We just put that word there. The Bible said, "Caught up, being caught up." We read here in II Thessalonians or I Thessalonians it is, the order of this great rapture that will take place in the last days. Listen to this here. We're going to begin here with 13th verse.

I would not have you... ignorant, brethren, concerning those which are asleep, that you sorrow not, even as others that have no hope.

For if we believe... Christ died and rose again, even so them... which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

For... we say this unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain to the coming of the Lord shall not prevent... (or that word "prevent" means "to hinder.")... those that are asleep.

For the Lord himself shall descend... (Now, listen close.)...

... the Lord himself shall descend from the heavens with a shout, and with a voice of the archangel, and... the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

  E-55    Noah was building an ark. He was not only working a miracle, but he was preparing for a miracle. Now, the church today is not only having miracles, but it's preparing for a miracle: the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ and the rapture of the church to be taken up.

Give me a church ready, visualized to see signs and to see the omnipotent God, the great power of God moving amongst the people. Which the rapture will be an easy thing when Jesus comes. They'll be caught up, because they believe in such. Sure, we're at the end time. We're at the junction road, the crossing time, the ending of a dispensation, the beginning of a new. There's been six of those and we're on the seventh.

  E-86    Don't resent that? That's the truth. The rapture is in us now. I will prove it by the Gospel. "Those who He called He justified, and those who He justified, He hath glorified." Hallelujah. Then in heaven today we're a glorified in the Presence of God right now. I'm just pushing out to it. Amen. Glory. God's in His Word. You believe it? All right.

Got to hurry now. Many things we could say there, but God is in His Word. Every Word of God is a Seed. You get it? And you just have to hold on to it.

Now, many people look at their symptoms. They say, "Oh, Brother Branham, my hand is no better. I still have this pain." That don't have nothing to do with it. It's what mental attitude you got towards God and His promise.

THE VOICE LIKE A TRUMPET

Revelation 1:10, "... And heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet." John was in the Spirit, and when he was, he saw the great and wonderful day of the Lord Jesus and all His holy power. The future was about to unfold for God was about to teach him. John did not say it was a trumpet. It was like a trumpet. Now when a trumpet is blown it has an urgency about it. It is like the herald, the king's messenger, coming to the people. He blows on a trumpet. It is an urgent call. The people gather to listen. (Israel was always assembled by the sounding of a trumpet.) Something important is at hand. "Listen to it." So this voice had the same urgency of appeal as did the trumpet. Clear and strong it was, startling and awakening. Oh, that we might hear the voice of God as a trumpet this day, for it is the 'Gospel Trumpet' sounding forth the 'Word of Prophecy' to make us aware of, and prepared for, what is coming upon the earth.
