THE RAPT

     It was on a Friday the 8th day of the month of May, in the year 2009, at around 6 am. I lay  lazily on my bed after I had woken up. By the gracious will of the Spirit of Jesus, a vision opened before me: we were many of us wearing white and standing on some stairs. Upon looking up I saw the Lord Jesus on the clouds. I called out His name, “Jesus, Jesus”! And immediately, I was caught in the Spirit to meet Him in the air. Holding my hands in mid-air, He said to me in my dialect, “Time is near, be ready”! He then wiped off some sleep gunk [rheum] from one of my eyes. The next thing, I saw myself on my bed. A fortnight later, I was forced out of the City of Nairobi to start all over again in my home county. But this time, with Him. 

     I was very excited to see Jesus, that my Lord would even visit me in this way. I had been crying to Him to use me. Previously, He told me that the only ministry He would ever give me is to my ‘family’ – blood and spiritual families. I didn’t know what to make of the vision as I was only 5 years into salvation. It was only after a few years that I came to understand God’s will for my life. Though I did not understand it then, this was the first time the Lord was revealing to me part of my blueprint. I never revisited this vision with anyone, not even with the Lord. Like the mother of my Lord, Mary, I kept these things in my heart. 

     The Bible says that, we shall all be changed (transformed) …in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye. Please, blink your eye! It will be that fast. At the sound of the last trumpet call… 1 Corinthians 15:51, 52. This is exactly what happened to me in my vision. I didn’t see myself being swept off my feet, I found myself holding hands with the Lord. Because of the role I will play on that day of the withdrawal of the Church from the earth, the gracious Lord saw it important to give me a taste of the Rapture. 

     So, what is rapt? This is to bare away in the Spirit  – to snatch away. You don’t get to feel or see when the Holy Spirit is doing it. Apostle John was carried away by the Spirit into the wilderness to see the prostitute in her reality… Revelation 17:3. It is also the Holy Spirit who kept the Lord and I in the air… in the clouds. Just as apostle Paul tells us in 1 Thessalonians 4:17, “… we, the living ones who remain [on the earth], shall simultaneously be caught up along with [the resurrected dead] in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and so always through the eternity of the eternities we shall be with the Lord”!

     Pray that your flight will not be in winter. What will happen when your pilot is suddenly taken away. What if you will be pregnant at that time or you be nursing a baby? For many, it will happen just like the time of Noah's flood. This blog like the Noah’s Ark, is a constant reminder that the rapt is inevitable. The man of God was jeered and ignored for 120 years until the time he entered the ark and the door was slam shut by the Lord… judgment was inevitable. 

     Like Noah, I have been sent ahead for the saving of lives. But instead, they are laughing and persecuting me. The Lord will have mercy on whom He will have mercy. My mission is to the Church but, many are making out with the world; yet, the world is being judged by the message of the KOG I proclaim... Matthew 24:14. These are not stories the Lord gave, they are disaster waiting to happen. These are predictions, “.. the world will pass away, but my words shall not pass away”. This is why you’ve got to be on the right standing with the King of kings. 

     Rapture will happen towards the end of the 6th Seal… Revelation 6:12 - 7:1-8 at 1800hrs, "But it shall be one continuous day, known to the Lord – not day and not night, but at evening time there shall be light”… Zechariah 14:7. Following the resurrection of departed saints, the Holy Spirit will snatch up living saints who are left on the earth. Being left should not trouble the saints, because they are left for only a fleeting moment before they are rapt up by the Spirit of Jesus from the earth to join Him in the clouds - earth's atmosphere. This is the time the Holy Spirit will also leave the earth – He is the One restraining the antichrist [false messiah or the beast from the sea]. This event will introduce the believers to an eternity in Jesus' presence. 

     All children will accompany the saints in the rapt… Mark 13:17, “And alas for those who are pregnant and for those who have nursing babies in those days”! Not a single child will be left on the earth. This is why Jesus warns all mothers and those awaiting to be mothers… yes, your guess is as good as mine. You must remain ready. In the first verses of Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21, Jesus spoke of the destruction of the Temple and in deed, it was destroyed. He predicted the days we are in; you just need to watch the news around the globe. The Lord speaks of what will happen just before He is reveale in Matthew 24:29-31; Mark 13:24-27; Luke 21:25-28. Do you think that the nations are doing anything to prepare for the only greatest event in the world’s history? 

    At any rate, Jesus' arrival in earth's atmosphere suggests He offers the existing saints a safe passage through the devil's territory. Reflecting imagery used elsewhere in Scripture, the devil is ‘the prince of the power of the air’… Ephesians 2:2, but he is no match for Jesus. The apostle John offered strong encouragement by writing, "… He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world"… 1 John 4:4. In Mark 13:26, 27, the first of the fruit comes under the protection of the King for they have the seal of the King of kings. Rapture saints are ‘firstfruit’… 14:4. This is an act of dedicating the first part of the harvest as holy to God… Exodus 23:19; James 1:18.

     Why the rapt? The Lord Jesus tells His faithful Church that, “Because you have guarded and kept My word of patient endurance, have held fast the lesson of My patience with the expectant endurance that I give you, I also will keep you safe from the hour of trial (testing) which is coming on the whole world to try those who dwell upon the earth… Revelation 3:10. The Lord will not judge the wicked alongside the heathens. The hour of trial (testing) is the time we are in... Revelation 6 :7, 8. The Lord is shaking the earth... only what is unshakable will remain. This is the Seal Judgment, the 7-year Tribulation period meant to purify the remnants. The Rapture will occur in Revelation 7:1-8 and soon after, the 7-year Great Tribulation period will begin – the Trumpet and the Bowl Judgments… Revelation 8:1ff.

     The Lord Jesus promises to withdraw His Bride from the earth – this will be the rapture of the Church. He will come with the clouds, and every eye will see him, bodily and powerful. Even those who pierced him, and all tribes of the earth will wail on account of Him… Revelation 1:7. The only way to avoid being left behind is to change the way you think [like a slave], and think like the king you were destined to be. Look to yourself and be on your guard; I have told you everything beforehand… Mark 13:23. Be watchful and prepare for Jesus’ coming. If you serve Him faithfully now, you will be ready for His imminent return at Rapture. 

     Come Lord Jesus!
