It's a rescue mission for His beloved bride, snatching her away to safety before the Great Tribulation.
When He comes, half of those who say they are waiting for Him will miss it. They look like they belong, but it's all a show—a well-rehearsed performance to win God's approval.
It's like the story of a woman who desires to be with a wealthy man, not because she loves him, but because she wants to benefit from his wealth. She puts on her best performance to win his approval.
But Jesus isn't fooled. He knows your thoughts and intentions, even when you are fooling yourself.
The other half will go with Jesus.
They aren't performers. They are humble before God with a constant desire for Him to search their innermost thoughts to expose what doesn't belong.
They are eager to repent when God exposes error. They feel no need to prove themselves because they fully rely on the power of Jesus to make them righteous.
The true bride of Christ wants nothing more than to be with Him.
Their eyes are fixed on Him, eagerly waiting His return. It brings them great joy to lay down the things of this life to pursue His kingdom.
Any day now. That's when Jesus is coming to get His bride. I have my eyes on September 23-24 because there are many signs pointing there. Come, Lord Jesus. Come!
