How to be ready for Jesus’s return at the Rapture?

1. Read the book of Revelation in the Bible. God tells us in Revelation 1:3 that if you read and keep the words of Revelation you will be blessed.

Revelation 1:3 ³ Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.

2. Study, study, study. Study God’s word. Prophecy books, Daniel and Revelation are good books to start in for prophecy.

2 Timothy 2:15 ¹⁵ Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

3. Watch and pray

Mark 13:33 ³³ Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.

4. Watch and be sober / have faith and love

1 Thessalonians 5:6-8 ⁶ Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.⁷ For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.⁸ But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.

5. Preach and tell others

Mark 13:7-10 ⁷ And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet.⁸ For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.⁹ But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.¹⁰ And the gospel must first be published among all nations.

6. Preach

Acts 4:11

7. Comfort and edify each other

1 Thessalonians 5:11 ¹¹ Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

8. Still fallible. We are still going to make mistakes

Matthew 26:69-74⁶⁹ Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.⁷⁰ But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.⁷¹ And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.⁷² And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.⁷³ And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee.⁷⁴ Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.
