"The Bride and the Butterfly"
JESUS
(to the Bride)
"Why feel discouraged, My Bride?
Why feel ashamed of the sins you hide?
Nobody's perfect, although you've tried.
You just need time to grow inside.
As a butterfly, its old form has died,
So you'll transform when you have flied.
Yes, I've counted the tears you've cried,
From times when the enemy has lied.
As caterpillars in a chrysalis, so in Me, abide.
You won't stay this way, My Bride."
As a monarch butterfly, so you'll be;
It won't be long 'til you're set free.
As a moth caterpillar in a cocoon;
So in time, you'll change and fly soon.
*monarch: A person who reigns over a kingdom, such as a king or queen
And if children, also heirs—heirs of God and coheirs with Christ.
(Romans 8:17 HCSB; Gal. 4:7; Gal. 3:29; Titus 3:7)
If we endure, we will also reign with Him.
(2 Timothy 2:12; Rev. 20:6; Rev. 5:10; Rev. 22:5)
What you sow is not the body that is to be. (It does not have the same body it will have later.) God will give us a body that He has planned/chosen.
(1 Corinthians 15:37-38)
RAPTURE:
(An interesting observation):
SEPTEMBER: Peak viewing month when massive groups (millions of monarch butterflies) travel through the US and gather (large gathering groups) on trees at night.
...Then we shall be caught up together with them in the clouds...(massive groups travel) (gather)
(1 Thessalonians 4:16-17)
Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him...(GATHER)
(2 Thessalonians 2:1)
We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed. (transformation)
(1 Corinthians 15:51-53)
Jesus comes as a thief in the night! (Revelation 16:15; Matthew 24:43; Matthew 25:6; 1 Thessalonians 5:2; 1 Thessalonians 5:4)
“At midnight they were roused by the shout, ‘Look, the bridegroom is coming! Come out and meet him!" (AT NIGHT)
(Matthew 25:6)
Will the Rapture be in the Month of September in one of these years: 2026 - 2033?
In my personal opinion, I think about April and September the most. But let us stay ready every day!
