* Save yourselves from this untoward generation.

Acts 2

38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.

Recently Pam Padgett, a member of the body of Christ, had the following dream and information from God.

Pam says: 

In this dream there had been an explosion. Somehow it was known that the person responsible for this explosion had setup another explosion for a specific day. We even knew the approximate time.

I started to leave the building where I was working on the sixth floor before the second explosion was to take place, but just a few steps down the stairs I remembered my purse and that all my identification was in it. I ran to where my purse was and got it. 

Then I proceeded to leave, going down the stairs very quickly. I counted each floor as I passed by it descending down the stairs.

Some people were standing along the stairs, talking. I could tell by their talk that they knew the explosion was supposed to be coming, but they seemed to feel no sense of urgency. 

I didn’t stop to try to persuade them to get out right away. Instead, I went around them and continued getting to the first floor so I could leave the building. 

I got out of the building and continued quickly on my way to leave the area. 

At one point I was aware the explosion had happened. 

There was a wall of glass doors in the outside area where I was. I went through one of the doors to the other side, getting as far away from the destruction as I could. 

I kept walking as quickly as possible. 

At one point I saw a woman walking around with a dazed look. She was carrying a recording device. I heard her say she was interviewing people who had been hurt or raped during this event. 

I kept walking as quickly as possible toward the parking lot so I could leave. 

When I awoke from this dream, I heard, “Save yourself from this untoward generation.”

(Comments by Joan Boney)

Church people all over this world know the great tribulation is coming.  Many feel no sense of urgency at all.  They think they will be taken out and are automatically all right.  Many follow their own ideas and live much like this world lives, thinking they are saved by the blood of Jesus regardless of what they do on this present earth.   They even delight in the idea that Jesus is coming, having no idea that they could be affected negatively.

Amos 5

18 Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light.

19 As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.

20 Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?

Concerning the coming of Jesus and the great tribulation:

Matthew 24:  Jesus says:

21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

22  And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

So we know some of the elect of God will be on this earth during the great tribulation.

I believe the following shows that some of the church will be removed before the great tribulation while others in the church will be left on this earth.

Matthew 24

40  Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

I believe this shows us not all of the church will be removed before the great tribulation but some of the church will be removed.

***

The destruction comes after the righteous ones are removed from this earth.

Jesus says:

Matthew 24

24  For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.

25  But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.

26  And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.

27  They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;

29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

Those who are "righteous", as in the case of Noah and Lot, will be taken out before the days of the great tribulation.

Others in the church will not be ready when Jesus returns, for they will be following things of the flesh and ignoring the sayings brought to them by the Spirit.

***

Romans 8:1   There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

So try to recognize that which the Spirit says and go in that instruction.

And pray over all concerns doing the following scripture constantly:

Philippians 4

6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
