DAD'S RAMBLINGS – Come On! Let's Go!
I Kings 2:11
"Then it happened, as they continued on and talked, that suddenly a chariot of fire appeared with horses of fire and separated the two of them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven."
What a scene that must have been – a chariot and horses of fire in a whirlwind. The driver (maybe even Yahweh Adonai) must have said, "Come on, Elijah, let's go!" So Elijah stepped into the chariot and away he went. I don't want to carry the analogy too far, but someday there will be a departure of those who love and serve the Lord, while others will be left. The Lord will descend from heaven, there will be a trumpet sound and a voice of the archangel will say, "Come on up," and those who are in Christ will be raptured into heaven (I Thessalonians 4:16). This will be a grand exit, greater than anything Hollywood could dream up. What a wonderful time that will be when we hear the voice say, "Come." Hallelujah!!! I'm ready! Let's Go!
TODAY'S THOUGHT: Just as Elijah went to heaven without dying, so some day in the future, believers will also go to heaven without dying.
Have a "Come, Lord Jesus" day (Revelation 22:17).
