Episode 284: The Family Altar Audio Devotional – Day 250

Episode Summary:

Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. (1 Corinthians 15:51-53)

255 What’s the next thing after this sign goes away? God’s going to condition Abraham’s children, getting ready to receive the promised Son. How are we going to receive Him? We can’t receive Him in these bodies. We’re going to meet Him in the air. Praise God forever! The trumpet shall sound. The dead in Christ shall rise and we’ll go up to meet Him in the air. What’s He doing? The last sign before the transfiguration, the last sign before the Rapture; for most any time the atomic bomb is going to destroy the world; before it screams into this case, Jesus is coming.

256 “We which are alive and remain shall not prevent or hinder those that are asleep, dead, for the trumpet of God shall sound, the dead in Christ shall rise. We which are alive shall be changed in a moment, of the twinkling of an eye.” An old man will be young. An old woman will be young again. And we’ll be conditioned to meet the promised coming Son (Glory! Hallelujah!), the next thing in God’s order.

257 What happened? Just as the Angel had His back turned and showing that sign to Abraham, He brought everything down through justification, sanctification, baptism of the Holy Ghost, placing of son, gifts and orders come out, and then showing His last sign before destruction. And then changed Abraham’s seed; it might come before we close the meeting.

258 Old Brother Kidd, setting here, and Sister Kidd, old veterans of the war, watch, in a moment, be standing there, have become a young man and woman again, changed.

259 Why we have to be changed? It was total impossible for that old man to have sexual relationship with his wife. It was totally impossible for her to conceive and bear a child ’less the supernatural taken place. And the only way it could be done would be, have to be a transformation of their body. He had lived with her since she was eighteen years old, or sixteen, his half sister, he marry young. And she was barren and he was sterile. You see it? And so He had to change their physical being to receive the son.

260 Oh, church, He will have to change this physical being to let us be caught up. We can’t go up, this kind of a body. He will change our body in a moment, in a twinkling of an eye; we’ll be caught up together in the air, to meet the Lord in the air. We can’t go up like this. We see every sign: justification, sanctification, filling of the Holy Ghost, the placing of son, the last sign being give. Amen. Do you believe it? Oh, I—I… we’re just going to have to cut it off here. I can’t go on. Let’s bow our heads.
