I Wish We'd All Been Ready

-----------------------------------------

Song by Larry Norman

Lyrics

-------------



Life was filled with guns and war

And all of us got trampled on the floor

I wish we�d all been ready



The children died, the days grew cold

A piece of bread could buy a bag of gold

I wish we�d all been ready



There's no time to change your mind

The son has come and you've been left behind



A man and wife asleep in bed

She hears a noise and turns her head he's gone

I wish we�d all been ready



Two men walking up a hill

One disappears and ones left standing still

I wish we�d all been ready



There's no time to change your mind

The son has come and you've been left behind



The father spoke, the demons dined

How could you have been so blind?



There's no time to change your mind

The son has come and you've been left behind



There's no time to change your mind

The son has come and you've been left behind



I hope we�ll all be ready

You've been left behind [Repeat: x3]

Lyrics

I pray we'll all be ready (2 times)

I pray we'll all be ready for his return

I pray that we'll get our business straight

So we can all meet at the gate

I pray we'll all be ready for his return

Two men walking by the road One of them had a heart pure as gold The sky was split and the pure in heart raptured away But one of the other one left behind who did not purge his heart in time Cried to the Lord but for him it is too late I pray that we'll all be ready

I pray we'll all be ready (2 times)

I pray we'll all be ready for his return

I pray that we'll get our business straight

So we can all meet

Meet at the gate

I pray we'll all be ready for his return

Verse: Man and wife in their bed One of them by the spirit lead The rapture came and took that one above The other one rose on the next day to found their love one raptured away Oh what a way to lose the one you love I pray we'll all be ready

Everyone in the room tonight, I pray, I pray that we'll all

For his return I pray that we'll get our business straight So we can all meet at the gate, I pray we'll all be ready for his return.

Oh, oh, I pray, I pray that we'll all, be ready, I pray that we'll all beFor his return, I pray that we'll give our hearts a search, So that we won't be playing church I pray we'll all be ready for his return

Verse: Momma and children in the mall Their momma heard the Master's call She was swept into the by and by It's hard to rely on your momma's prayer When your momma is no longer there Learn how to pray, learn how to pray While you still have time Yeah... Oh, I pray

Everyone in the room tonight I pray How many want to be ready when he returns I pray we'll get down on our knees

So the Lord can wash us clean, I pray we'll all be ready for his return.

**WILL THE **DAY OF THE LORD**, THE **LAST DAY** AND THE **7TH AND LAST TRUMPET**TAKE PLACE ON THE SAME DAY**??



**WILL THE DESTRUCTION OF THE LOST IN I THESS 5:2,3 OCCUR ON THE SAME **DAY OF THE LORD** MENTIONED IN I THESS 4:15-18**??



I Thessalonians 4:15-18; 5:1-4: According to the Lord's word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left to the coming of the Lord will certainly not precede those who have fallen **ASLEEP**. For the Lord will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the {**7TH & LAST**} TRUMPET call of God, and the **DEAD IN CHRIST** will rise first. After that we who are still alive and are left will be caught up the together with them {Or gathered as per Matt 24:31} in the air so we will be with the Lord forever! About times and dates we do not need to write to you, for you know very well that the **DAY OF THE LORD** {In I Thess 4:15-18 ABOVE**} will come like a **THIEF IN THE NIGHT**{To unbelievers!!} While people are saying "Peace and safety," **DESTRUCTION** will come on them suddenly {**DESTRUCTION OF THE LOST ON THE **SAME** DAY AS THE **DAY OF LORD** ABOVE!!} and they will not escape. But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness so that this {**LAST**} **DAY** should surprise you like a thief. For **YOU** {**CHURCH SAINTS**} are all children of light and children of the {**LAST **} **DAY**!



Revelation 3:3: Jesus says, "If you do not wake up, I will come like a thief {To unbelievers}, and you will not know at what time I will come to you!!"



For once the 1260-day Great Tribulation begins all of God's saints will know the exact day that Jesus will come on the **LAST DAY**!! And once the **Stars start falling** {Matt 24:29} the saints will know the exact hour of the 2nd Coming of Jesus as per Luke 21:28: Jesus says, "When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up you heads, because your redemption is drawing near!!"



Luke 17:28-30: Jesus says, "It was the same in the days of Lot. People were eating, drinking, buying and selling, planting and building. But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven. It will be just like this on the **DAY THE SON OF MAN IS **REVEALED**!



2 Peter 3:10-13: But the **DAY OF THE LORD** {The same **DAY OF THE LORD** IN I THESS 4:15-18!} will come like a thief {To unbelievers}. The heavens will disappear with a roar, the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare! Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to love holy and godly lives as **YOU** {**CHURCH SAINTS**} look forward to the **DAY OF GOD**. That **DAY** will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. But in keeping with His promise **WE** {**CHURCH SAINTS**} are looking forward to a New Heaven and a New Earth, the Home of Righteousness! {See Rev 21:1-5}



Isaiah 13:6-10: The **DAY OF THE LORD** {**The same **DAY OF THE LORD** mentioned on I Thess 4:15-18!} is near; it will come like **DESTRUCTION** from the Almighty. Because of this all hands will go limp, every {Unsaved} heart will melt with fear. Terror will seize them, pain and anguish will grip them. They will look aghast at each other, their faces aflame. See the **DAY OF THE LORD** is coming--a cruel day, with wrath and fierce anger--to make the land desolate and destroy the sinners within it {See Rev 6:15-17}. The stars in heaven and their constellations will not show their light. The sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light!



Revelation 6:13-17: I watched as He {Jesus} opened the 6th seal. There was a great earthquake. The sub turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind. The heavens receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place. Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the mighty, and everyone else, both slave and free, hid in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains The called to the mountains and the rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the mouth of the Lamb {Jesus}! For the **GREAT DAY** of their wrath has come and who can withstand it?" {While the saints lift up their heads since they know that the 2nd Coming of Jesus is very near as per Luke 21:28 below!}



Acts 2:19,20: God says... "I will show wonders in the heaven above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke. The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the the great and glorious **DAY OF THE LORD** {The same **DAY OF THE LORD** mentioned in I Thess 4:15-18!}!"



Matthew 24:29-31: Immediately after the distress of those {1260} days the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light and the **STARS WILL FALL** from the sky! {Luke 21:28 adds "When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near!"} Then will ***APPEAR*** the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. and then all the {Unsaved} peoples of the earth will mourn when the see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a loud {7th & Last} trumpet call, and the will gather **HIS ELECT** from the 4 winds, from one end of heavens to the other!" {Mark 13:27 adds "From the ends of the earth!"}



**THERE WILL BE 2 COMINGS OF JESUS ON THE SAME LAST DAY OF THE LORD. THE FIRST WILL BE **FOR** HIS SAINTS AND THE SECOND COMING RIGHT AFTER THE MARRIAGE FEAST OF THE LAMB; **WITH** HIS SAINTS**!!



Revelation 19:7,8,11,14,16,19-21: Hallelujah! For our lord God almighty reigns. Let us rejoice and be glad and give Him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and His bride has made herself ready. Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear!... I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose Rider is called Faithful and True... The armies of heaven were following Him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean {See Rev 19:8 above}... On His robe and on His thigh he has the name written: **KING** of kings and **LORD** of lords...Then I saw the beast {666} and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to make war against the Rider of the horse and His army. But the beast was captured and with him the False Prophet who had performed the miraculous signs on his behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the Beast and worshiped his image, The Two of them were thrown **ALIVE** into thee fiery lake of burning sulfur... And the Devil who deceived them, will be thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the Beast and the False Prophet will be thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever!



Revelation 17:14: They will make war against the **LAMB** will triumph over them because His is **LORD** of lords and **KING** of kings--and with Him will be His **CALLED**, **CHOSEN** and **FAITHFUL** followers!



Hebrews 10:24,25: Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another--and all the more as **YOU** {**CHURCH SAINTS**} see the **DAY {*OF THE LORD*} APPROACHING**! {On the **LAST DAY** of the 1260-day Great Tribulation!}



I Corinthians 1:7,8: You do not lack any spiritual gift as **YOU** {**CHURCH SAINTS**} eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be **REVEALED**. He will also keep you firm to the end, so that you will be blameless on the **DAY OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST**!!



Pre-Tribbers also claim that the **CHURCH SAINTS** and the Lost will **NOT** be resurrected on the same **LAST DAY** of the Great Tribulation??



**WILL THE CHURCH SAINTS AND THE LOST BE RESURRECTED ON THE SAME **LAST DAY** WHICH IS ALSO THE **DAY OF THE LORD**



**WHAT DOES GOD'S WORD SAY**??



John 12:48: Jesus says, "There is a Judge for the one who rejects Me and does not accept My words, that very word which I spoke will condemn him on the **LAST DAY**!" {See Matthew 25:31-46; Daniel 12:1,2 and John 5:28}



John 6:40: Jesus says, ""For My Father's will is that **EVERYONE** who looks to the Son and believes in Him {**CHURCH SAINTS**} shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the {**SAME**} **LAST DAY**!"



**WILL THE **7TH AND LAST TRUMP** SOUND ON THE **DAY OF THE LORD** WHICH IS ALSO THE **LAST DAY**??



**THE FOLLOWING SCRIPTURES ARE RELATED TO THE **7TH AND LAST TRUMP** MENTIONED IN I CORINTHIANS 15:51**!



The only 2 resurrections mentioned in Revelation are **POST-TRIB** and are found in Revelation 14:14-16 and Revelation 11:15-18 when the **7TH AND LAST ANGEL** will sound the **7TH AND LAST TRUMP**!!



Revelation 8:2: I saw the 7 angels who **STAND BEFORE GOD** and **7 TRUMPETS** were given to them.



**NOTE**: The first 6 trumpets will be sounded **DURING** and not **BEFORE** the Great Tribulation in Revelation 8:7 to Revelation 9:21!!!



And then on the Last Day of the Great Tribulation just before the 2nd Coming of Jesus for **HIS CHURCH SAINTS** we read in:



Revelation 11:15,18: The 7th {*AND LAST} angel sounded his {**LAST**} **TRUMPET**, and there were loud voices in heaven which said: "The Kingdom of the world has become the Kingdom of our Lord and of His Messiah, and He will reign for ever and ever... The time has come for judging the dead, and for rewarding your servants the prophets and your saints and those who reverence your name (**CHURCH SAINTS**}, both small and great and for destroying those who destroy the earth!"



I Corinthians 15:50-52: I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God. Listen, I tell you a **MYSTERY** {See Rev 10:7 above}, we will not all sleep, but we **ALL** will be changed--in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, **AT THE LAST TRUMPET**. For the {7th & Last} **TRUMPET** will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and **WE** {**CHURCH SAINTS**} will be changed!!



Now the pre-tribbers make the ridiculous claim that this {**7TH**AND} **LAST TRUMP** in I Corinthians 15:51; when all the **CHURCH SAINTS** receive their new heavenly bodies; will take place at a pre-trib rapture just **BEFORE** the Great Tribulation and the coming of 666 even though the first 6 trumpets take place **DURING** the Great Tribulation???



**IS THE PRE-TRIB TRANSLATION OF THE GREEK WORD **HARPAZO** IN REVELATION 4:17 AS **RAPTURE** AN **EVIL SIN**??



According to Webster's dictionary the **RAPTURE** means "An expression or manifestation of **ECSTASY** or **PASSION**" The pre-tribbers claim that the Greek word **HARPAZO** in I Thessalonians 4:17 can be translated **RAPTURE** while the NIV, RSV and KJV versions translate **HARPAZO** to be **CAUGHT UP** and the Todays English version translates it to be **GATHERED UP**!



However, the word **ECSTASY** is never mention in God's Word and means a "State of being beyond reason and self control, swoon or trance"! The words **PASSION**, passions and passionate are mentioned 7 times in God's Word and **EACH TIME** it is an **EVIL SIN** as per Romans 7:5, Galatians 5:24, I Corinthians 7:9, I Thessalonians 4:5, Titus 2:12, Titus 3:3 and Hosea 7:6.



I Thessalonians 4:16,17: For the Lord Himself will come down from heaven, with a **LOUD COMMAND**, with the voice of the Archangel and with the {7TH & LAST}**TRUMPET CALL OF GOD**, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that we who are still alive and are left will be **CAUGHT UP** {*RAPTURED*??} together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air!



And so the pre-trib translation of the Greek word Harpazo as **RAPTURE** which means "An expression or manifestation of **ECSTASY** or **PASSION**", is an **EVIL SIN**!! And when all of God's saints are **CAUGHT UP** to heaven and receive their eternal heavenly bodies they will no longer sin and will have **EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS** on the **LAST DAY** of the 70 7's which is also the **LAST DAY** of the 42-month Great Tribulation!!



Daniel 9:24: 70 7's {Or 490 years} are decreed {From the decree of Cyrus} to Anoint the Most Holy {After 69 7's or 483 years}, To Atone for Wickedness {After 69 1/2 7's or 486 1/2 years} to finish transgression, put and end to sin and to bring in **EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS** on the **LAST DAY** of the 70 7's or 490 years which is also the **LAST DAY** of the 42- month Great Tribulation!



Titus 2:13: **WE**{**CHURCH SAINTS**} wait for the **BLESSED HOPE**--the **GLORIOUS APPEARING** {Not Secret concealed sinful rapture} of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ!!
