Meditate about these things

“Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and Jesus Christ our Lord. According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue, knowledge; And to knowledge, temperance; and to temperance, patience; and to patience, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, charity. And if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ,” (2nd Peter 1:3-8).

Jesus Christ gave a parable that reveals to every true believer, the issue of the Translation. Things that will happen around that time, who would be left behind and who would be taken from this world. He also gave why some were taken and others left. He also painted the picture of the slumber of the virgins and the importance of both the lamp and the oil in the believer; especially at midnight. And why the midnight hour was the best time for the separation. He also spoke about the urgency at midnight. Those who did not sleep but were watching, those who sold the oil, and the decision not to share oil with anyone else at midnight. You are in this parable and you need to identify yourself, where you belong. Paul said examine yourself, know ye not how that Christ is in you. He was not talking to unbelievers: but to believers.

The expectation of the man on a long journey, that is the Bridegroom, Jesus Christ himself coming for the translation, (1st Thess. 4;16). The Lord did not assign the Translation to any angel or man or power or principality to execute the catching away. The Lord himself was coming to do it. Just like no one else could go to the Cross but Jesus Christ, so also can no one come for the Translation except, He whose blood was shed on the Cross for his purchased possession. Who died for you, and in whose name were you baptized and saved? Who promised to come for you. You need to be sure who you are hoping to meet in the air. Heaven and earth shall pass away but not my word, said Jesus the Christ. I come quickly, he said also.
