If you all of the sudden knew that the Rapture was going to take place exactly 5 minutes from now, what would you do during those last 5 minutes??

[BrotherEastman]

pray

[rgcraig]

Ask God to forgive me for anything I might have done today that could keep me from going in the rapture.

Remember Paul "died daily".

[BrotherEastman]

Why pray?
To make sure I'm forgiven? Will that work?:D

Maybe that is the key.

Go to McDonalds and see how many Big Macs I could eat in 5 minutes.

Do you think I would need to burb when we get on the otherside?

[rgcraig]

Mabe that is the key.

Go to McDonalds and see how many Big Macs I could eat in 5 minutes.

That would be gluttony - sinning 5 minutes before the rapture??????

[ManOfWord]

Get a head start, huh?

Probably the only way she would do that!! Woo Hoo! Here I come, Lord!!! :D

[Adra]

call my children and tell them one last time about how wonderful the Lord is. They are unsaved and maybe this time will be the time they will get on their knees.

[mizpeh]

First I'd put everything I own for sale on ebay, then.............Ha Ha ha






Some guy actually convinced his followers to sell everything and give him the money because Jesus was coming. Happened in Korea I believe.

[Mercy]

I would call my Daddie to tell him goodbye, and what he would need to do to make it during the tribulation. 5 minutes wouldnt be enough time for him to get right.

[COOPER]

My first reaction was, where are my kids?

[revrandy]

I would call the Post Tribber's and see what they were doing tomorrow??? :D

See here is the deal, that was the Sunday sermon by the youngster evangelist. He held up his watch, told us the time and said, THE RAPTURE IS GOING TO TAKE PLACE IN 5 MINUTES, WHAT WOULD YOU DO? EVERYONE SHOULD BE AT THIS ALTAR!!!

The intent was to have everyone come to the altar to weep and cry and repent and stuff. The interesting thing was that the majority of people up there were church people.

My immediate thought was I would be running the backs of the pews shouting GLORY at the top of my lungs!

I guess I am so tired of this attitude in the church of "I wanna be saved" "I hope I am saved" "I want to make sure things are right!"

Ok, we humans? When do we get up from off our knees? When is it enough?

When do we ever have salvation as something tangible and not abstract.

David said he had joy in his salvation.

Apostolic people haven't worked hard enough for it apparently.

The 80's mentality is still alive and well, I see.

I remember these kinds of services when I was a teen. It was scary at the time, all the prophecy stuff and the rapture taking place any minute being preached. I think I was the most prayed up kid in my church!

Thanks for this. I really, really needed that right now. :)

I am 100% certain of my salvation. I could never have done what's been done, I didn't even want to when I started this journey back to God. Every single step has been a miracle. Even though I'm still fighting some things and still wrestling with God, I am confident that He has saved me, I will be with Him, and if I decided to change that, it'd be a pretty blatent choice that only I could make. We're still working on the joy there, but I guess that gives me a goal. :p

As for being ready for the rapture? I just had a thought that made me laugh. Cuz..I'm irreverant like that sometimes. God would seriously not have done what He's done to get me where I am, to leave me sit here if the rapture were to happen now. I guess that's confidence.

I was anxious to see if there were any that would try to find someone to lead to repentance in that five minutes. Seems to me that would really be the perfect answer.

Does anyone find it strange that we think we might be a more convincing witness if we knew He WAS coming in 5 minutes or 5 days than we are knowing he COULD come in 5 minutes or 5 days?

[Sister Alvear]

I really think the church will go through perscution but if the rapture takes place I feel I am ready. Being ready for whatever is the most important thing,

It is still alive and well now… it hasn’t been that long ago since I heard a message at our Holiday Youth Convention that was trying to shake the kids up… get them in the altar to repent.… well, we are all in need of repentance daily… doesn’t mean we are lost.

My oldest was troubled after the HYC service and asked me why they try to scare people to serve God. I understood her concern… I’ve seen it far too many times. I don’t like those that try to hang people over hell…. I think much more is accomplished by showing the love of God to people. We love and serve him because he loved and died for us.

2 Cor 5:14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: 15And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.

I comforted her with the words that we will rejoice at his coming… we are so looking forward to it… her salvation is secure as long as she loves the Lord and strives to keep walking in faith and the joy of the Holy Ghost.

It should be “look up… your redemption draweth nigh” as it was posted earlier.

But, Forever, how is the preacher supposed to validate his ministry if he can't testify of the numbers who were in the altar repenting? After all, don't preachers preach for the response? :D

I am sure we would all look over our lives and do an indepth look at ourselves. We'd go tell it on the mountains, and shout is from the hill tops. Yes, I think we would make a more effective witness ... jmo

I agree, but why? Isn't it just as true that Jesus COULD come in the next 5 minutes or next 5 days? Might be something in this just for old Phil! I will be doing a survey of myself over the next few days... if I have that much time.

You know, to be honest.... I get caught up in just going from day to day. Living life, not thinking about His return. That is a fault, but one I am admitting! But you've got me thinking.........Whether Christ's return is pre, mid or post trib.......... I've gotta live everyday like it were my last. I don't know when my time here is finished! I will tell you this....if I spent as much time praying and seeking God for direction each day, as I do on this computer, I would be doing pretty good! LOL

I wrote a poem at 15 or 16 (32 or 33 years ago) that said:

To you I would say
Live each day as though your last
For ere you know it
It's long since past

For events of years
and months and days ago
Are described
So and then So

And events of years
And months and days to be
Are summed up
what could be

But today is here
It's in your hands
Its your decision
how each day stands

So live each day
As though your last
For ere you know it
It's long since past!


I think I would do well to heed the words of that simple poem from so long ago.

PRAY! Repent, PRAY some more
OH and call my sons if they're not around me at the time, and tell them to do the same., 5 min. is not really very long at all., that is about all I'd have time for.
OH .. maybe set my dogs free so that they could fend for themselves., birds too, in fact all pets would be loosed.

Allow me to interject this thought, if you are repenting because you KNOW the rapture is going to take place in five minutes -it is not godly sorrow, and thus, not valid.
