AN EMAIL FROM A FRIEND
Beloved saints of God.Today (March 19,2011) I received an email from a long time friend in the LORD which I believe the Holy Spirit inspired him to contact me.He must have been surprised to read my long reply,but its my joy to share my email reply so that you will also be bless reading it.Sincerely yours -Dr.JLoudin -Apostolic Seer:
From Brother James Yuen:Dated 19/03/2011 -(Source:from my FB inbox)
"Hi Dr Joh. How are you? Haven't heard from you for a long time. What's been happening with you? Meanwhile, if you have anything that you need help with, please feel free to ask and I'll see how best I can help.
MY REPLY :
Beloved brother James,
I'm fine and been very-very busy in the Kingdom..seeking to know all His righteousness (Mat 6:33).Our Heavenly Father has commissioned me to invest 100% of my time now to His apostolic call and therefore I have positioned myself somewhere in the"Patmos"environment to just fast and earnestly pray persistently before the LORD for these past six months.This has been really my "spiritual desert"experience of test because the Father want me to understand that "Man shall not live by bread alone,but by every word that proceed from the mouth of God "(Mat 4:4)
Divine revelations and visions of the Spirit I have received and so does such spiritual responsibility that He had laid on my shoulder to share it to the Saints.Brother,I've been pouring so much time and energy in writings (I created 4 more ministry Blog ),studying God's word diligently,posting it down on my FB wall,blog and emails.As a web minister,I have been very busy:
1. Answering emails,posting inspired words on my FB wall,on my group wall (Holy Spirit school of ministry -English & BM ,Apostles & Prophets ministries network group) NOTE:Will "add"you today in this group
2.Chating with many saints who needed spiritual counsel -via facebook chat and WhatApps chat
3.Doing conference call whatApps through-out the globe by sharing with them even for hours- exhorting,comforting and edifying ministers to keep doing the work in the ministry that the LORD have for them (Sometime even takes more than 2 hours just sharing God's word to one minister).
Every day I wake up as early as 3.00 a.m morning to worship and minister before the Lord.At 3.00 morning, Europe such as Sweden is early evening and so I need to sacrifice such time to share God's word to ministers via WhatApss even in Europe right up until afternoon sharing to ministers like in India and the Philippines.
Oh...and yes,the LORD has really put my faith to the limit, to test and to purified it (James 1:2-5) until now.
I'm so happy to receive your email today because I believe the Holy Spirit has reminded you to write to me so that I may be encourage.I have never told any single soul of my personal needs, save I've been persistently praying before the Lord to supply all my needs (Philipians 4:19) because only our Father knows the needs of His servants.With that, I'm so glad that you have such spiritual sensitivity to discern my situation by the Spirit of God and bless your soul for such,my friend.
Indeed my friend, I need help in the area of my daily needs and even ministry need.Many ministers and pastors have ask me to minister in Pakistan,India,Africa and the Philippines in which I have always told them that I will go "AS THE LORD PROVIDE".And this has been my prayer that the Lord will supply my ministry's need.
Just as as the full-time apostles have spoken "It is not desirable that we should leave the word of God and serve table .....but we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word "(Acts 6:2 & 4).
Such support -donation/contribution/monthly faith pledge will really be a great help for me so that I will be able to continually positioned myself in prayer and the ministry of the word.And Yes,even a man of God have needs.
God must have heard my silent prayer:
"LORD,I don't know how much longer will I be able to sustain in this ministry of the word without any financial support.Please Holy Spirit,if this is your will for me,speak or touch the heart of yr people to support my needs,so that I can continue to serve You and yr saints".
Beloved brother in the Lord,I'm not good in asking people around for help or support my full time ministry,because I don't want God's people to misunderstand or have such impression that I have a wrong motive in asking for support.Jesus said "it is more blessed to give than to receive "(Acts 20:35b).And so I will only want to follow the spiritual law of "sowing spiritual things to God's saints to reap and such blessing from them .As Paul said "If we have sown spiritual things fr you,is it a great things if we reap yr material things?"( 1 Cor 9:11)
For me,giving must be sincere and from the heart of free will,only then the Lord can bless us abundantly in return."A man who even give a cup of water to a prophet,will receive the prophet's reward"said Jesus our Lord
And so my good friend,here is my long reply to your curiosity as to what has happen to me all this while. I hope that you will not get bored reading my long reply beloved.Blessing to your family and I bless you for your God's love and concern
His servant

The Book of Revelation is the unveiling mystery of the End Times by our Lord Jesus Christ.It's my earnest desire to present this apologetic studies on "Apocalypse"so much so that even a simple and plain laymen christian can easily understand without so much theological idioms or jargon added.I'm also presenting my reflection on End-Time (Eschatology),Bible Prophecy and the ministry of the Holy Spirit.I also will be posting much needed inspired teaching from many portion of the OT/NT scriptures for the saint to feed upon.Remember,Christ said :"Man cannot live on bread alone,but on every word of God that proceeded from the mouth of God".

JAPAN EARTHQUAKE AND TSUNAMI PREDICTED
Photo of Tsunami hitting Japan
A powerful earthquake of 8.9 magnitude has hit the north coast of Japan this,Friday (11/03/2011) sending a great mighty Tsunamis that has devastated part of Japan in the northeastern .Report by Reuters today(Saturday) has estimated some1000 are likely killed and rising. Exactly one year ago,I was inspired to write this prophetic events and penned it as "EARTHQUAKE BY JESUS AND FLOOD BY DANIEL" .I saw it coming and I did not expect it to be so close to my home country,Malaysia.Let us all join together in prayer for the nation of Japan.My heart paint and love are with the Japanese people over this disaster.
http://lambnetwork.blogspot.com/2010/03/signs-of-end-earthquake-by-jesusflood.html
Allow me to write the main facts that I wrote on March,8.2010 :
" When Jesus said " And there will be EARTHQUAKES IN VARIOUS PLACES,and there will be famines and troubles..."He predicted that "These are the beginnings of sorrows"(Mark 13:8).2600 A.D ago,Daniel the prophet also wrote " The end of it shall be with FLOOD And till the end ...of the war desolation are determined"" (Dan 9:9).
EARTHQUAKES AND FLOOD,a combination of natural disaster was prophesied by our Lord and Daniel.We are seeing today that whenever an Earthquakes occurred a "Tsunami" Flood warning will be declared.Before the rapture of the Church and prior to the 7 years Tribulation period,EARTHQUAKES AND TSUNAMI FLOOD will occur in various places just as Jesus had predicted.These prophesy is being fulfilled right in front of us this year,2010.Since January ,we have seen great earthquakes in various places and Tsunami flood."
I also wrote some prophetic significant when the city of Christchurch was hit by an earthquake ,last month.God is shaking the nations and this will continue towards the end of time:Hebrew 12:26-27 stated :"...He has promised,saying,"Yet once more I shake not only the earth;but now also heaven."Now this ,"Yet once more" indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken,as of things that are made,that the things which cannot be shaken may remain"
What is shaken will be shaken so that things which cannot be shaken may remain.Jesus said that these things (Earthquake followed by Tsunami) are just the beginnings of sorrows or "birth pangs".
I prophesy today that "More sorrowful disaster of earthquakes,Tsunamis and with fire will be seen and heard in months and years to come to nations who are not setting the LORD and God of the land.This is a strong chastening of the Holy Spirit,a wake-up call for nations to turn up to God and to Jesus Christ their King and Lord"
The favor of the LORD is coming to the nation of Japan BUT,she will need to grow through this "fire"of tribulation first to make them realize that its time to seek upon God Almighty and the Lord of the land.
The Holy Spirit has also shown to me that many nations ruled by dictatorship or monarchy will fall and the power will return to the people and to some extent an anarchy system until such time of the awakening of a new one world evil order (I'm speaking prophetically with this word).We can see nations such as Turkey and Libya and many part of the middle East nations are going through this change now and this spirit will keep spreading throughout the world in years to come.The prophetic fulfillment word of "Nation will raise against nation"is occurring for the return of the Lord is at hand

THE ORIGIN OF THE BOOK OF REVELATION
"The Revelation of Jesus Christ,which God gave Him to show His servants things which must shortly take place.And He sent and signified by His angel to His servant John,who bore witness to the word of God,and to the testimony of Jesus Christ to all things that He saw.Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy and keep those things which are written in it ;for the time is near"(Revelation 1:1-3)
The book of Revelation is the canon book of Jesus Christ to His Church,the saints.It is the prophetic revelation of Jesus,given by God the Father after His ascension to heaven.John the apostle and prophet wrote down all the things that he saw while being revealed by Jesus to him.An angel of God was assign to assist John to make sure that he receive God's end time revelation.The word "Revelation" here is being translated from the Greek word " apokalypsis " which means "an unveiling."and the word 'Unveiling' means ' to show or expose to view '.Jesus is unveiling the divine mystery of the future.
This is why it is also called "the words of prophecy"(Rev 1:3) because this book is a prophetic revelation in nature.Every child of God must read this book,for it shows the future events of this world where we live in and how the life of all mankind is determine by God.I'm so thrilled whenever I read this book.I called the book of Revelation as a book of' blessing' in disguise because with the many fury Judgments and outpouring wrath of God being seen,the future life of God's people are prosperous and victorious.
Great reward await for all saints.Indeed this is the book of blessing in disguise and blessed is he who read,hear and obey those things which are written it it.Talking about being bless, let me share the first beatitude of blessing being promise to them who read this book.
Revelation 1:3 says "BLESSED is he who read and hear the words of this prophecy and keep those things that are written in it for the time is near...."
'Blessed' is being bless by God and being bless is the condition of being happy.Such is the mental state of happiness produced by the experience of God's favor and especially conditioned by the revelation of His matchless grace. When we open the Book of Revelation and start to meditate upon it,God will pour out His favors to us while reading it,hearing it and keeping it.This verse tells us that:
1.Blessed is he who READ the words of this prophecy
2.Blesses is he who HEAR the words of this prophecy
3.Blesses is he KEEP those things which are written-(Be the doer of God's word)
Another translation of being bless is: "spiritually prosperous in that state in which the born again child of God enjoys His favor and salvation.It is the condition of being spiritually prosperous with life-joy and satisfaction in God's favor and salvation,regardless of their outward condition"
I love the Bible translation of the Amplified version.It says :"Blessed (happy,to be envied) is the man who read aloud the word of this prophecy and bless are those who hear it read and who keep themselves true to the things which are written in it (heeding them and laying them to heart) for time (for them to be fulfilled) is near"(Rev 1:3)
And so,blessed is he who read God's word aloud.Just by reading it loud to yourself or to the church,God's favor and blessing will come upon you.What a revelation indeed! Whenever I read the bible and especially the book of Revelation,I will read it loud and when I hear my own vocal voice,its like hearing the voice of Jesus Himself.At one time,I was reading aloud privately the fourth chapter from the book of Revelation .Hearing God's word being read was so powerful that it engulfed my whole emotion to the point where I was literally crying and sobbing endlessly while reading the whole chapter .
Many complained that this book is very hard to comprehend because there are so much of symbols and hidden mysteries.I believe that the book of revelation can be understood because it is an open book to every Spirit filled saints and not sealed that we may not see.The angel of God said "Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book,for the time is at hand"(Rev 22:10).The book of Revelation is not sealed and thus its literature can be understood to those who diligently read it.
Jesus said that the the Holy Spirit in us will "teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you "John 14:26.He also said that "He will tell you things to come"(John 16:13b)
Holy Spirit come to " tell things to come" means He will reveal somethings in the future .The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of prophecy and thus it is closely related to the book of prophecy which is the book of Revelation
Understanding the book of revelation requires diligent searching,praying and knowledge from the Holy Spirit.There are many good commentaries being written by good bible prophecy teachers out there as reference .We also need constant reference to know the root word and such apocalyptic biblical vocabulary.New testament bible was originally written in Greek and thus at least we need some basic Greek .I have my Greek interlinear bible as my cross reference and it has help me a lot in my study on the book of Revelation.I am so happy to know that many are following my blog posting closely.Out of curiosity,I checked my visitor's traffic today (12/03/2011) and found out that there were seventy one visitors checked and read my blog posting on-line.This figure might be small to some,but I am satisfied with such number.It has made my day.

BACK TO THE" RAPTURE" VIEW
"RAPTURE VIEW" BY PROPHETIC SEER,DR.J.LOUDIN
I love to read the Book of Revelation.If you want to know where are you in the future or what will be your life condition a thousand years from now,read the Book of Revelation!.The moment I woke up this morning,as usual I pray,spend my private devotion with the Heavenly Father.As I began to meditate upon God's word,I immediately began to read aloud the whole chapter 4 of the book of Revelation.As you all know by now,I have memorized this whole chapter 4 that whenever I read it,I don't need to open my bible to see, rather I just read it aloud from my memory.Whenever I read this book,I will always receive fresh revelation or inspiration.What a book!The Holy Spirit keep bringing fresh inspiration on God's word to us that we will never get bored even though we have read the same content of it.
Reading the first 2 verses of Chapter 4 where it says:"After these things I looked,and behold,a door standing open in heaven.And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying,"Come up here,and I will show you things which must take place after this." Immediately I was in the Spirit;and behold,a throne set in heaven,and One sat on the throne"(Revelation 4:1-2)
I was inspired to note something very interesting which related to the "Rapture"of the church.John the prophetic Apostle was given a prophetic revelation in which he is now writing all the things which he has seen in his time and the things which are and the things which will take place in the future as Jesus continues to reveal to him.
John had just finished writing all seven letters to the seven churches in Asia minor which existed in his time(81-96 AD) as the Lord has instructed him to do so (Revelation chapter 2 and 3).It was historically known that John the apostle was the overseer for all these known churches (Ephesus,Smyrna,Pergamos,Thyatira,Sardis,Philadelphia and Laodicean).The seven churches in Asia Minor (Rev 1:4) was chosen by the Lord as the significant symbol and representation of the past,present and future church of Jesus Christ.Therefore the letters to the seven churches is still relevant today.
After that,John was "caught up" from Patmos island (Earth)by the Holy Spirit to the throne of God in Heaven where there he was told by Jesus :"...I will show you things which must take place after this"(Rev 4:1b).Jesus Christ was about to show him all significant events that will gonna take place in in the future.This scenario is beginning to be unfold.
1.John completed his seven letters to the seven churches.These seven churches represent all the redeemed church of Christ from the time Jesus was caught up to heaven (33 A.D.) until today (2011), even in churches that will exist future before being "caught up"to meet the Lord in the air on the Rapture day.
2.While on earth,John looked up a saw a door standing in heaven (Rev 4:1a).He then heard the same voice of Jesus commanding him to"Come up here..."(Rev 4:1b).With that strong command,John was raptured or caught up to heaven.I believed he was divinely transported by the Spirit of God,passing through the heavenly door and entered into the heavenly throne of God (third heaven).I look at John the prophetic apostle as the prophetic symbol of the "church of Jesus Christ"being raptured or caught up to meet the Lord just before the seven year Tribulation period in which Jesus had spoken by saying:"and I will show you things which will take place after this".Seven year Tribulation is part of such future even or things which will take place after the rapture of the church
3.The divine "Transporter"was definitely the Holy Spirit as John wrote :"Immediately I was in the Spirit;and behold,a throne set in heaven and One sat on the throne"(Rev 4:2).Again,just like Philip the evangelist who was transported or "caught up"by the Holy Spirit to another place (Acts 8:39-40),we see this similar divine operation where the Holy Spirit divinely transported John to heaven.Few holy man of God had experienced this so called being "Raptured"or being "caught up"to heaven or to another place by the Holy Spirit to name the few are:
i.Enoch the prophet (Genesis 5:24)
ii.Elijah the Prophet (2 Kings 2:11)
iii.Paul the Apostle being "caught up"to the third heaven (2 Cor 12:2-4),
iv.Philip the evangelist (Acts8:39-40)
v.Few current man and woman of God such as :Roland Buck (His book "Angel on assignment"), Choo Thomas (Her book:Heaven is so Real).Even this writer himself have experienced being "caught up"to heaven (His book:Fondasi Iman Kristian-Indonesian version).But the time will come when a great company of saints will experience this so called being "caught up"physically by the Spirit of God and to meet the Lord Jesus Christ in the air.The day of the Rapture is coming because Jesus Christ,the Lord is coming!
It is therefore so important that every child of God live a holy life,walking closely by the Spirit,filled with the Holy Spirit and intimately in fellowship with the Holy Spirit because only such child of God will be raptured by the Lord Jesus.Carnal christians who don't walk in the Spirit will not be raptured and will go through the seven year tribulation period under the rule of the Antichrist.They are still save by the blood of Jesus Christ as long as they don't deny Jesus the Saviour during the tribulation period but such carnal christian will not be raptured by the Holy Spirit on the rapture day of the Lord.
Another interesting statement to be noted in chapter 4 and verse 1,is how John heard the commanding voice of Jesus.He said that he heard vocal audible voice of Jesus speaking to him like "a trumpet"sound
".And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me,saying "Come up here..."(Revelation 4:1)
"I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day and I heard behind me a loud voice as of a trumpet"(Rev
1:10)
To John,he heard the voice of the Lord Jesus so loud just like the sound of a trumpet or as of a trumpet voice and just before he was "caught up"to heaven,Jesus spoke to him:"COME UP HERE...!!!"
Wow!I am not emphasizing a new rapture theory or a new doctrine here ,but there might be some truth in this revelation.On the Rapture Day,Lord Jesus Christ will come down from heaven and standing in the mid air,He will actually speak with such a strong loud supersonic commanding voice as of the sound of a trumpet saying "COME UP HERE!" and then all the redeemed,Spirit filled child of God around the world will be "caught up"being transported up by the Holy Spirit to meet the Lord on the air.What a revelation,
what a view and what a glorious day will it be!It is also very interesting to note that the two witness in the book of revelation who after they came back to life,heard the same commanding voice from the Lord :"And they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them ," Come up here"And the ascended to heaven in a cloud and the enemies saw them" (Revelation 11:11).The bible tells us that on that rapture day,not only the living saints was caught up to heaven,but also the dead in Christ will rise first and together with the living saints will be caught up to to meet the Lord in the air.Will this dead in Christ hear the same commanding voice "Come up here!"just like the two witness who head the Lord's voice just after they were rise up from the dead?
We need to have a sense of sensitivity in our spirit to be able to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit.The bible said: "he who has an ear,let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches"(Rev 2:7).Now let us look at Paul's writing pertaining to the rapture day:"For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout,with the voice of an archangel,and with the trumpet of God.and the dead in Christ will rise first.Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.And thus we shall always be with the Lord" (I Thessalonians 4:16-17).
This verse look like it is saying that an archangel will shout out loud and a trumpet of God will be blown by angel and Jesus will descend from heaven to rapture His saints and meet Him in the air."SHOUT,VOICE and TRUMPET"will be heard.Well,John heard the Voice of Jesus as of a Trumpet speaking to him in a loud voice (because this how the trumpet sound like a loud blasting sound).Either Jesus Christ Himself will go down from heaven and shout with a loud voice:"Come Up Here!" or we shall hear the real trumpet of God being blown out loud and the shout of an archangel be heard,this glorious day of saints being raptured will be truly those day in which I am looking forward to participate.Maranatha!
I love to read the Book of Revelation.If you want to know where are you in the future or what will be your life condition a thousand years from now,read the Book of Revelation!.The moment I woke up this morning,as usual I pray,spend my private devotion with the Heavenly Father.As I began to meditate upon God's word,I immediately began to read aloud the whole chapter 4 of the book of Revelation.As you all know by now,I have memorized this whole chapter 4 that whenever I read it,I don't need to open my bible to see, rather I just read it aloud from my memory.Whenever I read this book,I will always receive fresh revelation or inspiration.What a book!The Holy Spirit keep bringing fresh inspiration on God's word to us that we will never get bored even though we have read the same content of it.
Reading the first 2 verses of Chapter 4 where it says:"After these things I looked,and behold,a door standing open in heaven.And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying,"Come up here,and I will show you things which must take place after this." Immediately I was in the Spirit;and behold,a throne set in heaven,and One sat on the throne"(Revelation 4:1-2)
I was inspired to note something very interesting which related to the "Rapture"of the church.John the prophetic Apostle was given a prophetic revelation in which he is now writing all the things which he has seen in his time and the things which are and the things which will take place in the future as Jesus continues to reveal to him.
John had just finished writing all seven letters to the seven churches in Asia minor which existed in his time(81-96 AD) as the Lord has instructed him to do so (Revelation chapter 2 and 3).It was historically known that John the apostle was the overseer for all these known churches (Ephesus,Smyrna,Pergamos,Thyatira,Sardis,Philadelphia and Laodicean).The seven churches in Asia Minor (Rev 1:4) was chosen by the Lord as the significant symbol and representation of the past,present and future church of Jesus Christ.Therefore the letters to the seven churches is still relevant today.
After that,John was "caught up" from Patmos island (Earth)by the Holy Spirit to the throne of God in Heaven where there he was told by Jesus :"...I will show you things which must take place after this"(Rev 4:1b).Jesus Christ was about to show him all significant events that will gonna take place in in the future.This scenario is beginning to be unfold.
1.John completed his seven letters to the seven churches.These seven churches represent all the redeemed church of Christ from the time Jesus was caught up to heaven (33 A.D.) until today (2011), even in churches that will exist future before being "caught up"to meet the Lord in the air on the Rapture day.
2.While on earth,John looked up a saw a door standing in heaven (Rev 4:1a).He then heard the same voice of Jesus commanding him to"Come up here..."(Rev 4:1b).With that strong command,John was raptured or caught up to heaven.I believed he was divinely transported by the Spirit of God,passing through the heavenly door and entered into the heavenly throne of God (third heaven).I look at John the prophetic apostle as the prophetic symbol of the "church of Jesus Christ"being raptured or caught up to meet the Lord just before the seven year Tribulation period in which Jesus had spoken by saying:"and I will show you things which will take place after this".Seven year Tribulation is part of such future even or things which will take place after the rapture of the church
3.The divine "Transporter"was definitely the Holy Spirit as John wrote :"Immediately I was in the Spirit;and behold,a throne set in heaven and One sat on the throne"(Rev 4:2).Again,just like Philip the evangelist who was transported or "caught up"by the Holy Spirit to another place (Acts 8:39-40),we see this similar divine operation where the Holy Spirit divinely transported John to heaven.Few holy man of God had experienced this so called being "Raptured"or being "caught up"to heaven or to another place by the Holy Spirit to name the few are:
i.Enoch the prophet (Genesis 5:24)
ii.Elijah the Prophet (2 Kings 2:11)
iii.Paul the Apostle being "caught up"to the third heaven (2 Cor 12:2-4),
iv.Philip the evangelist (Acts8:39-40)
v.Few current man and woman of God such as :Roland Buck (His book "Angel on assignment"), Choo Thomas (Her book:Heaven is so Real).Even this writer himself have experienced being "caught up"to heaven (His book:Fondasi Iman Kristian-Indonesian version).But the time will come when a great company of saints will experience this so called being "caught up"physically by the Spirit of God and to meet the Lord Jesus Christ in the air.The day of the Rapture is coming because Jesus Christ,the Lord is coming!
It is therefore so important that every child of God live a holy life,walking closely by the Spirit,filled with the Holy Spirit and intimately in fellowship with the Holy Spirit because only such child of God will be raptured by the Lord Jesus.Carnal christians who don't walk in the Spirit will not be raptured and will go through the seven year tribulation period under the rule of the Antichrist.They are still save by the blood of Jesus Christ as long as they don't deny Jesus the Saviour during the tribulation period but such carnal christian will not be raptured by the Holy Spirit on the rapture day of the Lord.
Another interesting statement to be noted in chapter 4 and verse 1,is how John heard the commanding voice of Jesus.He said that he heard vocal audible voice of Jesus speaking to him like "a trumpet"sound
".And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me,saying "Come up here..."(Revelation 4:1)
"I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day and I heard behind me a loud voice as of a trumpet"(Rev
1:10)
To John,he heard the voice of the Lord Jesus so loud just like the sound of a trumpet or as of a trumpet voice and just before he was "caught up"to heaven,Jesus spoke to him:"COME UP HERE...!!!"
Wow!I am not emphasizing a new rapture theory or a new doctrine here ,but there might be some truth in this revelation.On the Rapture Day,Lord Jesus Christ will come down from heaven and standing in the mid air,He will actually speak with such a strong loud supersonic commanding voice as of the sound of a trumpet saying "COME UP HERE!" and then all the redeemed,Spirit filled child of God around the world will be "caught up"being transported up by the Holy Spirit to meet the Lord on the air.What a revelation,
