I can only imagine, but it is true
No prophets prophesied that graves would open and on the third day, and the people in those open graves would come out of them at the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Not only coming out of the graves, (Matt. 27:50-53), but walked out of the graves and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. Definitely, when they appeared to many, they must have said something to them, the people may have asked those, questions and they may have answered. They must have appeared to people who would recognize them. What a period that may have been. How long they were around, we were not told. You would think that the quick short work would have converted all in the holy city and beyond. But not so till this day; even Luke 16:31 stated that, “If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.”
Many saw and heard of those who rose from the dead, but did not make much change; except to be witnesses to true believers. I can only imagine because I was not there; but what would I have done? But it was true, and occurred at the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ only. Jesus Christ is and has the resurrection and life, as his signature tune. For sure that was why in John 11:25-26, Jesus said, “I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me though he were dead, yet shall he live. And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?” Jesus Christ the Lord is the resurrection and the Life. Now we are in the season of the coming of the Lord, and I can only imagine what is about to happen. At the end of time, “He will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth,” (Rom.9:28).
Bro Frisby in scroll 48 wrote, {“Will some prophets or saints return and minister again, appearing in foreign fields about 30 or 40 days before the rapture, for a quick short work?” —- Before He returns great things will happen again, Jesus will give the elect the same witness that He gave the early church. If a person cannot believe this is for us, then how can they believe what happened to the early church?”}
Soon strange things will begin to happen in all parts of the earth, including where you are. I can only imagine what the scriptures have said, in 1st Thess. 4:13-18, it stated that, “the dead in Christ shall rise first.” When Jesus Christ is coming for the church, there will be a secret revival because only the elect will have an idea that something strange is about to happen. Like at the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ graves opened and people rose up and were seen by many people. This will happen again soon. Every true believer should be on guard, awake and watching. God will allow some of the dead to walk among us. I can only imagine that Simeon and Anna (Luke 2:25-38) who were known in the time of Jesus, may have been among those who rose from the dead, so that people would really identify with them. At this end of time, God may allow many who recently died, within the last 20 years to appear to many. Remember that not just any dead person but those who are asleep in Jesus Christ. They are coming for their body from Paradise and not from hell. Once in hell you cannot come back and be part of the translation. Those dead in Christ can hear the Lord cry with the voice of the archangel, (1st Thess. 4:16), but even the living that have not made perfect peace with God will not hear it. I can only imagine why the foolish virgins did not hear the voice of the Lord; neither did they acknowledge the shout, and certainly will not be in a position to hear the trump of God.
I can only imagine what it would be like, the moment I or you, come across or visited by a brother or sister who is known to be presently sleeping in the Lord. This is about to happen any moment. That would mean that our departure is near. You may not be privileged to see any of such but remember and do not doubt. If someone else tells you about such an experience do not disbelieve, or else you will fall into the group that the Lord said, ‘though one come back from the dead they will not believe.’ This situation is around the corner now. Only the dead in Christ will hear the voice and come out of the grave. It is the voice of life giving power. In Gen. 2:7, God made man and breathed into his nostril the breath of life, and man became a living soul. Now at this end of time Jesus Christ the Lord, (God), will come with a shout, with the voice of the archangel (this voice wakes up the dead in Christ giving them life) and we who are alive and remain (in the faith) will be changed with them. And at the last trump, the bride appears in the air with the Lord. Remember it will happen in the twinkling of an eye, suddenly and in an hour you think not. I can only imagine how that day and moment shall be. But it is true.
Remember this song, “Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing power? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb? Are you fully trusting in His grace this hour? Are your garments spotless are they white as snow? Are you walking daily by the Savior’s side?” The lyrics of this song are pointing you to the Cross of Calvary. Salvation is the only way into Translation; and are you such you are ready? Heb.9:26-28 states, “—- But now once in the end of the world hath He appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. And as it is appointed unto men once to die but after this the judgment: So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.” I can only imagine that after the translation through salvation, only judgment is left on the earth. The foolish virgins who missed the translation will go through the great tribulation and also face taking the mark of the beast. Repent and be saved. He who believes and is baptized shall be saved, but he that believeth not shall be damned,” (Mark 16:16).
Finally, remember Psalms 50:5, “Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.” This matches Heb 9:26-28, Jesus was the sacrifice, and, gather my saints (those saved only) together unto me (those asleep in Jesus and those of us who are alive and remain in faith) at the translation, in the air. The Holy Scripture states, “And unto them that look for Him shall he appear the second time without sin (blood washed believers) unto Salvation,” (Heb. 9: 26-28). I can only imagine the translation and those who will make it: And it is true and will happen any moment. Are you ready?
