What if it were today? Have you really thought about this? I don't mean just thinking in a general way. I mean thinking about details. Just imagine - first, gravity is suspended for all who are His. In the middle of whatever is going on in our lives at the moment, we start to rise! All our activities on earth have just come to an abrupt halt. Before we have time to think, we meet Him in the air. Then, we enter Heaven. While the Tribulation is unfolding on earth, we have two things to experience. There is the judgment of our works to determine rewards or loss of rewards. I Corinthians 3:11-15 explains, "For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire." The second thing to experience is the most outstanding banquet that anyone has ever experienced. "Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to Him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and His wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. And He saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb...." (From Revelation 19:7-9). All of this is merely a prelude to all that is involved. For example: We are told that when we see Him, we shall be like Him (See I John 3:2). Be like Him? What kind of an experience will that be? We hope to look at that tomorrow, Lord willing. Selah! What if we don't have a tomorrow? What if "it" were today? Thinker (Ron)

What if it were today?.......what a wonderful thought to roll around in my mind all day today! I watched a man discussing why he thinks the world as we know it ends this December, and I just smile. What if? Will it? Let`s just say that he may be right, why wait until December to get ready? I do not think he is correct, but so what? What if it were today? What a glorious thought for those who are ready and prepared for eternity with the Lamb. Come Lord Jesus.
