THE IMMINENT RAPTURE, BE WARNED! Do you care for the Rapture? How often do you think about the Rapture? Or rather, are you prepared for the Rapture? Better still, do you have clear understanding of what Rapture is all about? It’s unpopular topic in churches today, and so many Christians care less about it because it’s not as sweet and motivating as prosperity, breakthrough, new things, favors, blessings and earthly success. But Rapture is a daily expectation and thought for the wise Christians while prosperity and earthly blessings are the focus for the foolish Christians. Rapture is the catching away of the saints, which will happen within seconds and any moment from now. It’s the first event of the end time advents when the angels of God will blow the trumpets, only Christians who are waiting for it, expecting it and preparing for it will make it. DELAYING IS COSTLY.... THE NEXT HOUR MIGHT JUST BE TOO LATE!!! SAVE YOUR SOUL NOW!!! |
