Rapture of Prisoners
Hebrews 13:3
“Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.”
Hebrews 13:3“Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.”
Is everyone in prison guilty? Absolutely not. We know that there are innocent men and women in our prisons and jails today. We also know that there are many who are in prison for frivolous, ridiculous claims. And we know that there are some men and women who were simply in the company of wrong doers and were caught up in the system.
Oftentimes, I have wondered what will happen to those in prison during the rapture...Yesterday, I received my answer whilst searching for
something else. I was so overjoyed that I simply had to share it with you
today.
Acts 12:7-11, “And, behold, the angel of
the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on
the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off
from his hands. And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy
sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and
follow me. And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was true
which was by the angel; but thought he saw a vision.
When they were
past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his
own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith
the angel departed from him. And when Peter was come to himself he said, Now I
know of a surety, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out
of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.”
We see that the angel of Lord was
like Peter get up, hurry up, put your shoes on let’s go! Now as they walked
through the prison wards the Most High made them invisible. They had to pass by
four soldiers who were guarding Peter. (Acts
12:4) Yes, the Most High can do that! As we continue reading we notice the
iron gate that was more than likely locked, being on prison grounds, opened
with the might of the Most High and his angel.
Peter had faith and he believed
in the Most High. He did what the angel said and followed the angel. Arriving
at the house of Mary, the mother of John, he declared unto them how the Lord brought him out of prison. (Acts 12:17)
Acts 16:25-26,
“And at midnight Paul and
Silas prayed, and many praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. And
suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison
were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands
were loosed.”
Again, the Most High made a way for
his servants to be released from prison. He also placed a deep sleep amongst
the keepers of the prison. (Acts 16:27) Yes, the Most High can do
that!
Daniel 6:11, 16, 21, 22, 23b, “Then these men assembled, and
found Daniel praying and making supplications before his God. Then the king
commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions, Now the
king spake and said unto Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will
deliver thee.
And a stone was
brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den…The said Daniel unto the king, O
king, live for ever. My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions’
mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found
in me;…So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found
upon him, because he believed in God.”
We see that Daniel still prayed
and made supplications before the Most High. Because of his faithfulness Daniel
was protected through an angel of the Lord. Through all of that Daniel was
still very much respectful to the king after exiting the den. There are many
things he could have said, “See my God is better than your god,” or “Ah thought
you were gonna get me,” or “Look at me now!” But he didn’t. No spirit of pride
or boasting was found in him.
This is what the Most High will
do for people who have been cast somewhere out of their control. Don’t think
the Most High will not have his vengeance on those who have placed people in
situations out of spite, envy, false accusations and the like. Vengeance
belongs to the Most High. What we display and what we encourage others to have
is a calm spirit.
When that day comes there will be
inmates unaccounted for. I believe that with all my heart and spirit. I believe
that the Most High sent His angels to release Peter, Paul and Silas and I
believe with the faith of a mustard seed that this will happen again to our
brothers and sisters in bondage.
If you have a loved in prison
that has found Christ rejoice in that knowledge. If they have not found Christ
as of yet, it doesn’t mean that they never will, for prayer changes all things.
Please do not think that you have
to go break them out of prison or their place of holding. The Most High will
make a way, if it be his will. They may even beat you to the place of safety
and wonder what took you so long! If you have loved ones or friends in prison
and they are truly in Christ, you will see them again soon. Either in the flesh
or in the spirit!
Others may have forgotten about
them; however, Christ has not and will send His angels to redeem His children. He will not punish the righteous with the
unrighteous. Nor has He appointed his faithful followers to wrath in prison or outside of prison.
And as Paul would say, “Wherefore
comfort one another with these words.” (I
Thessalonians 4:18) So put the blow torch, hammer and nails away. The Most
High has already made a way for them.
If it is in his will, He is way ahead of you and your plans.
Some of us will be thrown into
prisons as Christ said. But the Gentile rule is almost over. When Christ
returns He is coming to rule this earth, to be King of kings and Lord of lords.
He will rule the earth shutting down all other kingdoms. He certainly won’t
need the help of the government, congress, today’s queens and kings. He won’t need Senators Presidents
and Politicians. There will not be any place found for governmental rules,
ordinances and the like. When Christ returns there will be peace on earth!
Iron gates will not keep our Father from redeeming His children. If you are a child of the Most High God no matter where you are in the world, you will be raptured! Hold fast our Messiah is coming!!!
Please share with your loved ones and comfort one another with these words!
