Longing For His Appearing

Q. I read your site everyday! Thank you! There is so much evil and corruption in this world in every place… business, school, police, government. We are stand up people and it is becoming scary to be a stand up person in our little town here in the Northern Panhandle of West Virginia. The evil is a stench. Is it wrong for us as Christians to pray for Jesus to Rapture His Church? I have been praying for it because the evil is impossible to accept. I hope and pray He comes for us soon.

A. Not only is it not wrong, but there is a crown waiting for those who do so. It’s called longing for His appearing.

2 Timothy 4:8 says, “Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.”

We get our crowns at the Bema seat judgment right after the Rapture.
