Christ Takes Into Heaven

[Frank]

Christ takes into heaven in the Rapture
only those whose trust for salvation
is on him and not at all on themselves.
That is because those are the only ones
that he regards as though having his
own righteousness and victory.

When Christ led Israel
from Egypt to the Promised Land,
very few of Israel wanted to enter
because their trust was on themselves
rather than on Christ to be their victory.
Israel had to wander in the wilderness
for 40 years before they could enter.

That is a foreshadow of the present.
Today relatively few
are ready for the Rapture
of the Church before the Tribulation.
Their trust rather than being
on Christ alone for salvation is divided
between Christ and things to definitely do
but never to trust in to be saved, such as
their repentance, surrender, commitment.
Therefore the vast multitude of people
saved from all nations is during the Tribulation
rather than before the Rapture of the Church.
