ROYAL LETTER
A message from the Kingdom, every week, in your inbox.
On the day of the rapture, there will be weeping, blood, and regret. It will not be a day like any other. On that day, some will go up. Others will remain. And the phrase that will echo through the universe, through hearts, through empty beds, through deserted schools, through crippled churches will be: “If only I had taken the Word of God seriously!” Jesus Christ is coming back. And this return is not a theological hypothesis, a symbolic vision, or an allegorical prophecy. It is an undeniable reality. He is coming for a holy bride, a people who are ready.
Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. (Matthew 24:42-44)
The day of the rapture allows no improvisation. It will happen in the blink of an eye. No time to pray, no time to repent, no time to understand. If you are not ready, you will stay. Period.
There are three comings of Christ. The first, He came as a lamb. The last, He will come as a lion. But in between, there is one the Church barely speaks of anymore: His secret coming, His return as the Bridegroom. THAT day when He will come for His own, not in thunder, war, or lightning, but in the silence of a blink. On that day, the dead in Christ will rise, and we who are still alive will be caught up with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.
And so we will be with the Lord forever. (1 Thessalonians 4:15-17)
This is not imagery. This is not a parable. This is reality. A truth that Paul, Peter, and John spoke of constantly. To the point that Paul exclaimed: “WE who are still alive!” He thought he would be raptured. Yet today, he lies in the dust with the other dead in Christ. They will rise first. And we will follow. But then, why does today’s Church no longer speak of this urgency? When we have all the signs of the return of Jesus? All of them! A global plague, looming war in the Middle East, outrageous laws against the faith, a reversal of values… Everything speaks, everything cries out: He is at the door! But the bride is asleep. The Bride has fallen asleep. Just like in Matthew 25, they all fell asleep. Even the wise virgins. Until a cry pierces the night: “Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!”
There will be no warning. The rapture will take place while people are eating, working, buying, sleeping, marrying, building. Just like in the days of Noah or Lot. Suddenly. Without warning. That day, planes will crash. Christian pilots will be gone. Schools will be disrupted. Children will not return home. Marriages will be torn apart in a second. The husband or wife taken. The student gone. The teacher left. Some doctors will vanish in the middle of a surgery. The patient will die on the table. That day, there will be panic, chaos, tears, and confusion. The world will plunge into global anguish.
Because the salt of the earth will have been removed. The Church, gone. We are the Noahs and Lots of this generation. And our departure will announce the condemnation of the world.
And you, are you ready? Will you be taken or left behind? In a church, in bed, at work… Will you be taken or left? The rapture is the most earth-shattering event in history. And only those who live for Jesus in secret will take part in it.
Because that day will be selective. It’s a selective cry. A trumpet that only the intimates will hear. Paul on the road to Damascus was intercepted by a light, a voice that others didn’t even hear. So it will be with the rapture. The Spirit will speak to the spirits of the saints, but those who have trained their ears to the noise of the world will not hear. The noise of the flesh will drown out the voice of the Spirit. There will be no place for the crowds, the clergy, or the routine churchgoers.
Not everyone who attends church will be raptured. Pastors, leaders, elders, choir members, faithful servants before men… ALL those who have not walked IN SECRET with God will stay behind.
Even I, Marcelo, if I don’t live out this word I preach to you, I will stay! The pastor will have no power to help you that day. Moses couldn’t open the ark for those crying outside. Noah could do nothing for his neighbors. You had your entire life to enter in. And you refused.
Your father, your mother, your friends, your coworkers—everyone you’ve told about Jesus—will suddenly see you’re gone. And there, there, it won’t be fiction. It won’t be Hollywood. It will be the rapture. It won’t be others disappearing. It will be you. Or it will be them.
And if you stay, you will explain. You, the smart one. You, the theologian. You’ll be giving lectures on eschatology after having missed the rapture. You’ll find yourself, like in the movie Left Behind, rummaging through the house looking for a left-behind pajama, a still-warm shirt. Because yes: when Jesus rose again, He left His folded garments. Clothes will remain. Pajamas, shoes, suits… but no bodies. You’ll be holding those clothes, weeping in your hands… But it will be too late.
Those who missed the rapture will face the mark of the beast. They will have to be beheaded to be saved. And you, who already tremble at the thought of a small fast or an online critique, do you think you’ll have the strength to face the sword? If you don’t have the faith to live for Christ today, how will you have the faith to die for Him tomorrow?
My brothers, my sisters: listen to the trumpet! Listen to the cry rising in the night.
“Wake up! Here is the Bridegroom! Go out to meet Him!” Don’t be a sleeping virgin. Don’t miss His coming. Desire it!
Jesus is not coming to marry spiritual babies. He’s waiting for a bride, not a daughter. A steadfast woman. A pure woman, disciplined, trained, awake. It’s not normal for you to still be a baby after 5 or 10 years in Christ. Always whining, always needing comfort. “They spoke to me badly, I’m leaving the church.” You’re not serious. You want to go to Heaven like that? Jesus is not looking for a spoiled bride. Grow up.
And you, father, rise up. How can you reign in the world but be useless in the things of God? You have a degree, you manage businesses, but you don’t even know the Old Testament? People say “anointing,” and you ask, what’s that?
Dad, mom, family leaders, be disciples!
For it is the disciples who provoke the rapture. It is the bride who cries with the Spirit: “Come!” And if the bride is sleeping, the Bridegroom does not come. He doesn’t violate His fiancée. He comes for those who passionately desire Him.
Bring in souls. Everywhere. Always. Win the schools, the universities. Move France! Move the Francophone world! Go to where the darkness is concentrated. Because the thicker the darkness, the brighter the light shines. Don’t be a seated Christian. Act. Sow. Preach.
Because every time you win a soul, you hasten the return of Jesus. Every soul won is a stone laid on the doorstep of the Kingdom. And when the last sincere pagan enters… the door will close. And the Bridegroom will appear.
Lord, come touch my heart. I don’t want to just hear Your Word anymore. I want to live for You. Come burn in me everything that’s not from You. I desire You. I want to be ready. I want to hear the trumpet. Lord, give me the passion to resemble You, to seek You, to wait for You every day. Even if You delay, I will keep watch. I refuse to fall asleep. I refuse to live for myself. Use me, Lord. Win souls through me. I belong to You. Prepare me for Your return. Amen.
🙏 If you’ve never given your life to Jesus, pray with faith:
Lord Jesus, I acknowledge that I have sinned. I believe that You died for me on the cross and rose again to give me eternal life. Today, I accept You as Savior and Lord. Change my heart, forgive my sins. Make me a new creation. Make me a disciple. I want to follow You. Amen.
