And at midnight there was a cry made
Meditate about these things
Jesus Christ while teaching his disciples, spoke with this particular parable, (Matt. 25:1-10); that gives every believer a sense of what will happen at the end time. This midnight cry is connected to many other events to achieve God’s purposes. Jesus Christ came to the world to die on the Cross to pay for the sins of all men who will accept it.
One of the purposes of his death is to gather his sons for himself. In Psalm 50:5, it reads, “Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.” This confirms John 14:3, “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, any receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” That is the word of confidence Jesus Christ gave to every true believer on which we hope and are full of expectancy. Matt. 25:10, Gives us the most important moment of the Midnight cry, “And while they went to buy, the bridegroom (Jesus Christ) came; and they that ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.”
Rev. 12:5, “And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.” That is the translation promised in John 14:3. They that were ready went it or caught up; through Rev. 4:1, As the door was shut in Matt. 25:10, on earth dimension. But a door in the spiritual and heavenly dimension was opened up to those translated to enter heaven, (Behold, a door was opened in heaven: and a voice saying Come up hither).
For all these things to happen there was silence in heaven for a space of half an hour. All of heaven was silent, that even the four beasts before the throne of God saying Holy, holy, holy were all still and silent. This had never happened in heaven, and Satan got confused and could not venture into heaven at this time. With his attention focused in finding what next is happening in heaven, Jesus Christ swooped down to earth to gather his Jewels home. And suddenly, mortals put on immortality and were changed to enter through the open door in heaven; and activities resumed in heaven: as Satan was cast down to the earth (Rev.12: 7-13). When there is silence in heaven when the seventh seal is opened; on earth there was a strong delusion, 2nd Thess. 2:5-12; and many were asleep. That is why when the Lord give the spiritual cry with the voice of the archangel many who are physically alive a will not hear it because they are asleep but the dead in Christ who are supposed to be asleep will hear it and cometh out of the graves first; and we who are alive and remain not sleeping will hear the cry and we shall all be caught up to the Lord. We shall be changed to meet with our Lord Jesus Christ in the air. It is a promise John 14:3, that cannot fail.
Wake up, watch and pray, for it will happen suddenly, in a twinkling of an eye, in a moment, in an hour ye think not. Be ye also ready for shall surely come to pass. Be wise, Be sure, Be ready.
