The Rapture .. the calling UP of the Church ... "After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking to me, saying, 'Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.'" (Revelation 4:1) We are to "comfort one another" (Hebrews 4:18) with this knowledge!

Pastor Rit finishes his teaching on the Church of the Laodiceans. Laodicea was so rich and prominent that they were very prideful and in need of nothing (v17). Even so, Jesus implores them to purchase refined gold from Him. Thankfully Jesus says, "As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten"! May we all "hear what the Spirit says to the churches".
