In this article, we shall be looking at 3 categories of excuses we give why we may NOT BE READY ON THAT DAY! Let's look at the parable of the Great Banquet, from Luke chapter 14. In this parable by Jesus, we see that there were three reasons that the people were not ready for the Banquet.A certain man was preparing a great banquet, and invited many guests at the time of the banquet he sent out his servants to tell those who have been invited, COME, for everything is now ready. But the all alike began to make excuses, the first one said, I have just brought a field and I must go and see it, please excuse me.Another one said, I've just bought five yoke of oxen, and I'm on my way to try them out. Please excuse me. Still another said, I just got married, so I can't come. The servant went and reported this to his master. Then the owner of the house became very angry, and ordered his servant to go out quickly, into the streets and lanes of the town, and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind and lame..1

Excuse and procrastination is big challenge most us face as a human. Thank you for the word of God.       

@webmaster, yes! Excuses and procastination! Procastination is a theft of time, destinies and opportunities! Sir, have you ever seen tomorrow before? Tomorrow is always in the future. What God gave us is now, not later or tomorrow! That is why Jesus admonished us not to think of what we shall eat tomorrow, rather now! We must fight against it. Its a demon that is stealing peoples destinies. I pray that every destiny or opportunities stoling from you my precious reader be restored back to you, in Jesus name.

..The servant said, what you order has been done, but there is still room.Then the master told his servant, go out to the roads and country lanes, and compel them to come in, so that my house will be full.I tell you, not one of those who were invited will get a taste of my banquet!

What were the three reasons people did not come?

Reason #1
The field. In other words MY PROPERTY MY STUFF is more important than your banquet!

Reason #2
My Oxen. In other words, MY JOB. I'm too busy with my career, to care about your banquet!

Reason #3
MY WIFE! In other words, MY RELATIONSHIPS, My Wife, Family and Friends are more important than your banquet!

For these very reasons, many people will miss the Great Banquet of Jesus! The Wedding of the Lamb.
To be ready for the Rapture, you must NOT fall spiritually asleep, in the last moments.Jesus said, it will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing his work, when he returned. Stay Focused on Jesus! Don't get distracted in the last moments!

...There are thousands of distractions that can cause you not to be ready. Don't fall into temptation and compromised with sin in the last moments. Jesus said, Pray that you will NOT fall into temptation.Remember Lot's wife.She was leaving Sodom. Lot's wife was almost there, she almost this safe. But in the last moments she turned back to Sodom.Don't be like her! In the moments before the Lord return,don't turn back to the world!Don't give up during the final lap of the race!Stay in prayer in the last moments. Jesus warned us in Luke 21,WATCH and PRAY, that you maybe able to escape all that is about to happen. and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.Don't neglect your calling! Jesus said, no one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back, is fit for service in the Kingdom of God.Jesus is a God of Great Passion. We must never neglect or ignore His passion. What is He so passionate about?Jesus desperately wants souls saved from hell! His heart breaks for every lost soul that parishes...3

...And He is doing everything He can to save people.If we ignore this desire of His,and don't bother to witness to the lost, then we are ignoring His passion! Each Christian must be doing their part to build the Kingdom of God.The Wedding Supper of the Lamb will be the best celebration in Heaven! But the worst time on Earth. It is a party that no Christian should miss.Many people have tried to predict dates for the Lord's return. But these predictions haven't come true. Scripture makes it clear that no one knows the date or the hour.Many of today's prophets have questioned the Lord about thetime of His return.But He has not given them adate.Jesus said, He would come backlike a thief in the night. At anour when people do not expect.this verse from Revelations 16 states...Behold I come life a thief,blessed is he who stays awake, and keeps his clothes with him, so that he may not go naked and be shameful exposed.Currently, the Lord restrains much evil from ever happening on the Earth.

...After Jesus takes away His Bride, the Lord's HAND of RESTRAINT, will be removed! This verse from 2nd Thessalonians, explains how this will happen. For this lawlessness is already at work secretly and it will remain secret, until the one who was holding it back steps out ofthe way. With the Bride of Christ has gone, and the Lord's Hand of Restraint taken out ofthe way,the world will quickly plunged into darkness!The book of Revelations warns us about the Rise of the Anti-Christ and the mark of the beast 666.It will be much harder to follow God, after the rapture. Because during the tribulation,following God will cost people their lives.As its says in Revelations 13:7, He (the beast) was given power to make war against the saints,and to conquer them.He was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation.Many will be tortured toreceivethe mark the beast 666,and many people will be killed for refusing it.But refusing the mark of the beast 666 will be absolutely critical if someone is to be SAVED.

...Because there is NO FORGIVENESS, NO 2ND CHANCES, for anyone who takes the mark of the beast 666, on their hands or on their forehead. They belong to the beast, not God.They will be sent to HELL. It will be a time of Great Betrayal! As it says in the book of Matthew, Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child.Children will rebel against their parents, and have them put to death.But he who stands firm to the end will be saved! Staying faithful to God in this difficult hour, will be critical for one's salvation. During the tribulation, God's Wrath is poured out upon the Earth!The World is Judged for all the evil that it has committed.This causes worldwide havoc and devastation. Many lives will be lost, and there will be great suffering.How bad is it? Jesus said, Unless those days were shortened, no one would survive. Many of the people who are ignoring God's warning today,will be the same ones cursing God when His judgments come upon the Earth.,

...After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, Tribe,People and Language standing before the Throne and in frontof the Lamb...These are they who have come out of The Great Tribulation. They have washed their robes,and made them whites in the blood of the Lamb.There are thrones prepared for those who faithfully make it through The Great Tribulation. Let's read from Revelations chapter 20, I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony forJesus, and because of the Word of God.They had not worship to the beast, or His image and had not received his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to Life and reigned with Christ for 1000 years.With all this said, WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO? Get READY!!!

My Question is why should you wait for this period? Why most you miss the Banquet of the marriage supper?Do you know time the Father has planned for the taken up?For the bible says, in the tickling of eye! Release yourself to God

For further questions please talk to me. God bless you!

A lot to be learned.  This "mark of the beast 666" is their part of bible that really emphasize on it?
