Being Caught Up

A Friend forwarded an article re; the rapture re: pre tirb, post trib and past trib: -- and here is my reply through the Grace of God! From Brother Desi Jakab (address below)

I am an old timer and back in the early 1970s my Friends and I used to argue -- who is the Antichrist? Rapture, mid trib, post trib, pre trib: most all of the friends have all died some as far back as the mid 1990s and those topics never brought anyone into the true knowing relationship with the Son of God. I have learned to seek Him - His Life - His Word becoming manifested in flesh - in us and dwelling amongst us -- to the extent where we can behold His Glory in our own lives -- the total transformation of heart and mind and life - and to be conformed into the image of God's Son. "When the Word becomes flesh - He dwells amongst us" and we behold the Glory of God's Son manifested in us - full of His Grace and Full of Truth -- the Truth and the grace is Him manifested in us -- as the only begotten of the Father full of Grace and Truth -- His Word is Truth..

We can study all of our life studying the raptures and yet do I know what it is for me to be caught up into the Glorious Life of the Son of God made manifested in flesh -- in me?

I have been through great tribulation, the Apostles of Christ lived in great tribulation -- who were these that were before John and before the Elder in Revelation chapter 7 -- these are they that have come out of great tribulation -- this world is a place of great tribulation -- and they have washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb -- and He will dwell will them (with us) I will be their God and I will lead them forth into rivers of living waters - and they will thirst no more. These are all present tense truths for the here and now. I will be their God and they shall be My People. ---

Smith Wigglesworth - the great anointed preacher of the 20Th century -- who walked with God like none other in the flesh in the last Century describes the Rapture this way --

Being caught up in God into the order of God's life and anointing "The Power of Faith" - Whitaker House -- Messages preached by Smith -- Romans 5:12-15, 16-17 : Through one man's disobedience through one man's sin death came and reigned Then another - Jesus came. - Adam was the first man; Christ was the second. One was earthly, the other heavenly. The Christ-man in us (manifested in flesh) -- the word of God written on the fleshly tables of our heart will make us and awake us into all righteousness, peace and abounding in God. Just like when death had power through the disobedience of a man (Adam) LIFE HAS TO HAVE ITS POWER AND VICTORY. Through the God-man, Christ manifested in the flesh in us - we come into a New Divine Order.

The natural mind and understanding cannot grasp this truth -- only because it is a thousand times bigger than the natural mind of man. But Christ's mind replanted or transplanted into our heart and mind - our natural order will give us a vision so that we may see what we have not been able to understand. What we do not understand -- when it comes to the fullness of His revelation and relationship in us manifested in us - God thoroughly understand: and He will bless you and I abundantly.

1 Thess: tells us "the dead in Christ will rise first (Were they truly crucified and dead in Christ, were they overcomers -- through the blood of the Lamb, the word of their testimony and they loved not their lives unto the death - the death of the cross the crucified life)? For Revelation chapter 20:4-6 tells us "Blessed and holy is he that has part in the first resurrection!" Also, Revelation 14:12-13 - They have come into a rest from their own labors, they are crucified with Christ -- and have come into Rest -- and their works wrought in their life in God (by the transformation of the old life and old nature into the newness of His life and into the trueness of the image of Christ in them) and the works of God in their life does follow them. (Paraphrased to bring out the true meaning). -

Why do I say that -- only because of the rest of the verse in Thessalonians says: "The dead in Christ shall rise first and those of us who are Alive (in the trueness and in the image of Jesus Christ made manifest in flesh in us) AND remaining - again remaining In Him -- abiding in us and us in Him - we shall rise to meet the Lord in the air" -- "Will I find faith in the earth when I come?"

What a blessing when God can give to us through total surrender and proper relationship the Hidden manna of God's Word -- those things that will bring us into the fullness of His life and the fullness of His relationship in us.

Back to Wigglesworth: We know how sin was abounding, how we were held in bondage to sin, how we were defeated, how we groaned and travailed, in the misery of it all. Sin has abounded, But Now we have His Grace - "The fullness of Grace" Now it is the New Life Now the ministry of Christ abounds to us and in us.

Friends take a leap that you may never know what defeat is any more. This is a real divine healing chapter (Romans 5) this is a real ascension chapter; this is a powerful resurrection chapter. It looses you from your limitations. It moves you from your former place into a place of COVETED GRACE. It takes your weaknesses and sins and abounds to you and I with Atonement. It reveals to you and I all that Adam ever had that BOUND you and I and all that Christ ever had or will have that ABOUNDS toward you to liberate you and I both from all that is human and bring you and I into all that is divine. This is the Glorious liberty of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

We have been condemned and lost. How human nature destroys! We all know sin had its reign, but in Christ we are justified -- as He abides and lives in us and us in Him. It is God who works in the lower order of humanity in us, with His Mighty Power and Higher Order. He touches human weaknesses with His touch of infinite, glorious resurrection power: and brings us into the transformation of our old life by the newness of Himself and His Life in us.

Another note: Regarding the 144,000 - 12 thousand from every tribe -- the tribe of Dan is missing -- (there is no more judgment to the overcomers).

Then the great number that no man could number -- 1 Cor. chapter 2 -- exemplifies again the crucified life and also tells us the things of God are spiritually discerned. My dear brother we do not want to be numbered by man but we sure need to be numbered by God!-- For the number of man is 666 the lust of the eyes the lust of the flesh and the pride of this life here on earth : the flesh the world and the devil. --- Ten times the book of Revelation refers to those who are earthly -- dwellers on the earth -- they are earth bound -- not seated with Christ in the heavenly realm -- many are called but few are chosen. The many antichrists, the many that will come in His Name deceiving many -- they say I am anointed of Christ - but shall deceive many. Why because the old nature is never crucified and never properly killed -- but that old nature becomes healed in them and continues to live in their lives instead of the new creation of God in them. The trueness of the very image of Jesus Christ made manifest in them -- 1 John 1:7 "If we walk in the light even as He - God the Father - is in the Light, then we have fellowship with one another, (All because our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son) and the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS" We seek first the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness and all these things are added unto us:

God bless you my brother -- those precious brothers that I used to argue about these great topics many years ago -- came to nothing in their lives and understanding -- only because these things did not edify or glorify either the Living Christ in them or in me: -- Nor did they exemplify the trueness of Jesus in any one of us!

"Upon this Rock (The Revelation of Jesus Christ) made manifest in the flesh in us -- will I build My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against IT!" A broken and a contrite heart I will never despise says the Lord. Let us seek Him that He may fill us with all of His fulness of Grace and all the fulness of His Truth -- His Word is Truth -- and it is not truth until it becomes manifested in our own heart - in the true image of Jesus Christ! I share these things in the love of God -- and it is only a drop in the bucket of all that He has prepared for those who truly Love Him. Your brother in Jesus - Desi Jakab
