~ Local Sermon Notes by Writer Tonja Condray Klein ~

*09/07/16 = Wednesday = BEFORE THE END OF THE WORLD…  ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Matthew 24:1-3, Verse 4 through Matthew 25
70 AD is when the temple was destroyed
40 years after Jesus proclaimed this happening
Sign of Thy Coming & End Of The World
216 chapters, 23 out of 27 verses reference Christ’s Return
1 out of 3 New Testament verses mention Jesus Returning

1.) What will happen on Earth when Jesus returns in the air
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
By the Word of the Lord = God’s Word of Authority
Those absent from the body are present with the Lord
Returning WITH JESUS to be bodily reunited with souls
Those alive changed and caught up to be with the Lord

2.) What will happen in Heaven when Jesus returns in the air
1 Corinthians 4:1-5
1 Corinthians 3:12-16
2 Corinthians 5:9-10
To be judged and rewarded in Heaven for what we’ve done
While Earth is in Tribulation we will be in receiving rewards

3.) What will happen on Earth when the CHURCH IS GONE
Matthew 24:21-22
Great Tribulation will be happening as God’s Divine Judgment
Great Devastation, Great Turmoil, and Great Death of mankind
3-1/2 years at end of 7 year period will be Hell on Earth
If Jesus Christ doesn’t return to Reign, mortal mankind dies

A TIME UNLIKE ANY OTHER BEFORE OR EVER AGAIN…
Just because the Church is GONE doesn’t end the world YET
Unsaved in the ground won’t rise until White Throne Judgment
Revelation 6:15-17 = Great Day of His Wrath comes to pass

~ PREACH THE WORD OF JESUS CHRIST, SING HIS PRAISES, & GET READY TO GO…LIKE ROCKET FIRE! ~

“Like Rocket Fire” – Lyrics written 08/02/16 and revised 09/07/16 by owner Tonja Condray Klein.  Inspired by Historical Novel “Blue Darker Than Black” by Mike Jenne and Gospel Song “Space Ship” by Kings Highway Quartet.

Verse 1

The first space flight was well before my own time

With phenomenal unfolding prior to my life

From pictures taken from then I dream of how

Those in space were overwhelmed with epic wow

Though technology has now taken firm hold

Most minds no longer seem able to be bold

Space pioneers gave the best of their lives

To try to reason out all the cosmic whys

Yet creations’ answer sparkles beyond stars

And actually astounds with Calvary’s scars

True believers in Christ won’t need space-crafts

The Holy Spirit with His fuel will be more than that

Chorus 1

Like rocket fire, like rocket fire

I’ll be soaring through the sky

Like rocket fire, like rocket fire

I’ll leave this old world behind

Before tribulation collides

I’ll be by my Savior’s side

Like rocket fire, like rocket fire

With my Jesus I’ll really fly

Verse 2

At the twinkling of an eye ignition starts

For those ready because of transformed hearts

I’ll be part of a new perfect space race

As believers in Christ head to Heaven’s gates

No space suits are needed or dehydrated meals

Jesus will provide us with what’s ideal

No need for oxygen on His blessed shore

No clocks or watches since time will be no more

Grace and Mercy will give us traversing weight

To travel beyond all that man creates

Even pure imagination only goes so far

One day we’ll get the Almighty’s tour of stars

Chorus 2

Like rocket fire, like rocket fire

We’ll be soaring through the sky

Like rocket fire, like rocket fire

We’ll leave this old world behind

Before tribulation collides

We’ll be safe by our Savior’s side

Like rocket fire, like rocket fire

With our Jesus we’ll really fly

Coda

Like rocket fire, like rocket fire

With our Jesus we’ll forever fly!
