FAILURE TO WATCH THE SIGNS OF THE HOUR IS ANOTHER REASON WHY MANY WILL MISS THE RAPTURE.

WORLDLINESS is another reason.

Cares of this world.

Disobedience is another thing that will make Christians miss the rapture.

Total failure to embrace the way of salvation which God has provided is another sure reason. Embrace God's salvation today.

Behold! The Bridegroom cometh! Go out and meet Him.

UNBELIEF is another factor why many christians will miss the rapture.

Many christians, including 'so-called-pastors' don't believe that Jesus is coming and that will be there undoings.

stay ready. he is coming.

Many Christians are not watching. That is why they will miss the rapture.

No Christian will miss rapture, in fact rapture is the removal of Christians from this earth. Those pretenders and religionists will be disgraced as they will be left behind. Although some will believe after rapture but this would be at the cost of their lives.

Its been 4 years and we are yet to witness this rapture

Op, let's relate Romans 10:1 with Luke 14:16-25 you quoted and see the correlation, may be it will help you understand.
But you just have to think, it requires brain to understand

Romans 10:1 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for ISRAEL is, that THEY MIGHY BE SAVED

Now, the question is, who were THE ISRAELITES?

Were the ISRAELITES saved as at the time Jesus Christ was yet on earth before he was crucified?
The answer is no!
They were never saved.
Even till today, many of today Israelites do not believe that Jesus is the Christ.

To this understanding, you will agree with me that Jesus spoke this parable against them and their Pharisees leaders.

Now, this is the meaning of the parable

16 Then said he unto him, [color=#990000]A certain man made a great supper

the meaning of this is, Jesus made a great supper, that supper is his crucifixion and resurrection which brings God's kingdom on earth, so God's kingdom is that great supper, it is already here on earth i don't know what you are still waiting for rapture for

and bade(invite) many:

the many he invited were the ISRAELITES also known as the Jews became of the covenant God had with their forefather ABRAHAM.

17 And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.

This simply means that God's kingdom is now ready on earth. Jesus represented his father's kingdom on earth before he was crucified. The Axe was already laid on the tree, you should know what that means. The tree was cut when he resurrected, what is the tree? The tree was the old covenant

18 And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.

this means the Israelites start giving excuses for not wanted to believe in Christ, by so doing they missed to be part of Gods kingdom (I guess this is what you perceived that makes you think christians will miss rapture? You funny o )

19 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.

20 And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.

all these are part of the excuses by the Jews. There was no christians at that time, christianity only started after Jesus resurrected.

21 So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.

the master being Jesus was angry with the israelites and their Pharisee leaders and straight ahead invited the gentiles who never were part of the covenant God had with Abraham. The poor, maimed and the blind represents the gentiles in that parable, while the rich men represents the Israelites or Jews became they had the covenant and the law from Moses which the gentiles never had.

23 And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways

highways means people of other tribes order than the Jewish tribe or Israel, these are the gentiles

and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.

so you see, Jesus was not in anyway talking to christians in that parable infact, there was no christianity as at that time. Rather, he spoke the parable against the ISRAELITES.

Therefore it is very wrong to say christians will miss rapture when christians on earth are the heaven themselves.

ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS.
TAKE ALL YOUR ANSWERS FROM LUKE 14:1-24

PROVIDE YOUR ANSWERS AS REPLY.

1. Jesus Christ mentioned a certain ‘great supper’ in Luke 14:16. What is the meaning or another name for that ‘great supper’?

the great supper means God's kingdom on earth which literally is the establishment of christianity on earth when Christ resurrected. The great supper is the resurrection of Christ

2. How many people were invited to that supper? Are you also invited for that supper?

everyone were invited. The Jews were invited first, because of God's covenant with their forefather Abraham. But they rejected the invitation and killed Christ, but the gentiles happily accepted the invitation. That's why most christians today are gentiles, few of them are ISRAELITES

3. In Luke 14:17, why were people invited to that great supper?

because the kingdom of God was already on earth in the person of Jesus Christ and people needed to be invited, that's why he had many disciples who followed him. John the Baptist started the invitation by saying, repent the kingdom of God is at hand. At hand means, the kingdom has come already which is Christ.

4. All the people invited to the great Supper did one thing why they could not attend. What was that? (Hint: Luke 14:18)

the first people invited were the ISRAELITES. They could not attend because they never thought jesus was the Christ, they never believed in him. No christian falls into this category

Read Luke 14: 18-20 and Say true or false to the following questions

5. Focusing on buying and selling alone (business alone) could make somebody miss rapture (TRUE OR FALSE)

false

6. Focusing too much on getting properties can make a person miss rapture (TRUE OR FALSE)

false

7. Can enjoyment make a Christian to miss rapture? (YES or NO) EXPLAIN your answer with example from the bible.

No! God is not benefiting anything seeing christians suffering themselves deliberately

8. A Christian can miss rapture because of his/her marriage or some member of his/her family? (YES or NO) Explain

NO!
Your faith in Christ is a relationship between you and God alone, it has nothing to do with your relationship with this world or your love ones and family

9. Mention 5 other reasons why Christian can miss rapture.

the only reason is, when the christian stops believing in Christ or being a believer by joining other religions. John3:16, whosever believes should not perish.

therefore it is very wrong to say a christian can miss rapture by any circumstance order than him disbelieving ( let's assume i don't know what rapture is).

How many times has a person heard that he would die one day? That he has not died yet does not mean that he will not die one day.

Flawed logic.

Everybody knows that death is a part of human existence, theres a time to be born and a time to die.

But the coming of jesus, the jewish carpenter is just a myth. Its difficult for you to understand cause you are still suffering from delusion and gross indoctrination.

2 Peter 3:3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,

3:4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

3:5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:

3:6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:

3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

I'll ignore the insult cause I know what religious fanaticism can do to people. I used to be like you.

He is coming back. Whatever naysayers say cannot stop Him. Stay ready in absolute repentance, righteousness and holiness.

What made you change your mind. What kind of books did you read?

Hmm, okay

Will He find faith when He comes?

Behold! the bridegroom cometh!

Self righteousness is another reason many Christians will miss the rapture.

Many of them believe they are too good to miss the rapture. And so do not watch.

Others believe they don't need to repent at all times.

Nothing; whatsoever is good enough to make you miss heaven. Strive to enter at the narrow gate.

Secret sins are another reasons why some will miss the rapture. Turn away from secret sins.

Excuses are another reasons why many miss the rapture.

Many will be saying like in the days of Noah, 'I don't believe he can come', 'I want to marry wife first', I don't have time for God and so on. And they will be caught unawares.

Stay ready. He is coming.

Don't repeat the mistakes of Israel.

Don't miss the rapture for any reason.

Worldliness is a major reason why many believers will miss the rapture.


Jesus is coming. Stay ready in repentance, holiness and watchfulness

Many Christians will miss rapture because they are spiritually asleep.

Wake up from slumbering.
