TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 22
Scripture: Matthew 24:40-44

Matthew 24:40-44 state, “Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming. But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.” The interesting part about this judicial manifestation is that in the days of Noah, the ungodly, perverse and the vile were the ones taken. The ones left were the righteous. For all those who read this passage and tend to write rapture in it, rapture does not fit. Because in the days of Noah, the Godly were left and the ungodly were taken. What fits here is the army of Joel 2. Because like the thief, they are the ones breaking into houses and taking the wicked to their eternal reward. Are we ready to walk in that prayer-dimension? Are we ready to act like invaders, demanding righteousness? Are we ready to repossess for God’s Kingdom? If we are not ready, we had better get there!
