A Snare is Coming-Watch Therefore

" And take heed yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting and drunkenness and cares of this lide, and so that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth, Watch ye thereffore and pary always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man" ( Luke 21:34-38).

Always remember to differeniate between "them" and "as/we", in prophetic Scripture. The "snare" will ultimately become the wrath of GOD after the rapture of the church and continue through to the end of the seven-year Tribulation, and will come upon "them that dwell on the face of the whole earth." We, the Lord's bride, are not appointed unto wrath and will be with our Bridegroom residing in the Father's house during this horrific time, (1 Thessalonians 5:9-11).

If anyone attacks you for your belief in pretribulation rapture of the church by calling you an escapist, point them to Luke 21:36, and remind them that JESUS Himself commanded us to "pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man." This statement goes hand in hand with Revelation 3:10, "Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth."
