Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. And while they looked steadfastly toward Heaven as He went up, behold two men stood by them in white apparel, who also said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into Heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into Heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into Heaven." Acts 1:9-11
Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. And while they looked steadfastly toward Heaven as He went up, behold two men stood by them in white apparel, who also said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into Heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into Heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into Heaven." Acts 1:9-11
Jesus ascended into Heaven in the sight of His disciples and two angels told them He would come back in like manner; in other words, He will return in the clouds just as He left. Are you ready?
The signs of the times tell of those things which are happening right now, although many have already happened before the end of all things. Jesus said it would be just like the days of Noah, they would be eating and drinking and marrying just like they would live forever. But as it was when Noah preached when he built an ark as I believe it was for the people of the earth and not the animals.
For many years he preached as they mocked this crazy old man building a boat in the desert and just like today many mock the gospel of Jesus Christ, who is our ark, but then it began to rain! Noah and His family and all the animals were safe within the ark and God closed the door, but outside the people cried out in desperation to get in, but it was too late!
For the Lord Himself will descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of the 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. Therefore comfort one another with these words. I Thessalonians 4:16-18
