On That Day

Luke 17: 22-36

And He said unto the disciples, The days will come, when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you shall not see it.
And they shall say to you, See here; or, See there: go not after them or follow them.
For as the lightning flashes out of one part of the sky and shines to the other part of the sky, so will the Son of Man be seen in His Day.
But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
And just as it happened in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the Day of the Son of Man:
They were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
It was the same as happened in the days of Lot: they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building; but on the day that Lot went out from Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from Heaven and destroyed them all.
It will be the just same on the Day that the Son of Man is revealed.
On that Day, don't turn back for anything, no matter where you are or what you're doing. 
Remember Lot's wife.
Whoever seeks to keep his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it.
I tell you, on that night there will be two in one bed; one will be taken and the other will be left. 
There will be two women grinding at the mill together; one will be taken and the other will be left. 
Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other will be left.

This is about the Day of the Lord, when Jesus returns to the Earth and His feet touch down on the Mount of Olives, which splits the mountain (Zechariah 14:4). 

This is not about the Rapture, which has already taken place. This is when the Battle of Armegeddon takes place; and those who are taken, are taken in judgment; and the ones left, are left to enter into His Kingdom in their flesh (Zechariah 14:16). 

Those who are evil shall be taken in Divine judgment, and those who are righteous, no wrath shall touch them, For God has not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, I Thessalonians 5:9. And as the Psalmist wrote,
A thousand shall fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you. Only with your eyes will you behold and see the reward of the wicked. Psalm 91:7-8.
 So those who will be saved to live in His Kingdom will marry and re-populate the Earth, building a new World under King Jesus' righteous rule. 

Until then, we need to keep on watching what is going on in the World around us, because all these things should not take us by surprise; as we live in the Light, not in the darkness of the unrighteous--You are the children of Light, and children of the day, that the Day should overtake you as a thief; I Thessalonians 5:4

O my Father, You have told us what will take place and be accomplished all they way through the Last Days, which we have been living in since Jesus ascended. But from looking at what has been going on these recent days, I must conclude that the coming of my Lord cannot be very far off, even at the door! 

Please prepare and strengthen Your children to withstand the severe persecution that is coming soon. 

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
