Scriptures: Romans 12:2, 1Thessalonians 4:16-18
Even before you were evangelized, God, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus already preached the gospel
to each of you through various methods. And no matter who it may be, even since before you
came to church or met an evangelist, the Trinity had enlightened you through your conscience
or through your heart, and the Trinity had protected your life and raised you so that you could
believe in God and Jesus. But because you didn’t believe despite all of that, the Lord sent
evangelists and preached the gospel to you through them. Those of you who are here have come
after hearing the Word, but other people still don’t believe because they don’t like to believe.

The Lord speaks while raising the level according to the time period and He also raises the
level of salvation accordingly. Therefore, people must listen to the Word that pertains to their
time period. We, who have come to Providence history, are listening to the gospel that the Lord
delivers in this time period. We are receiving the salvation that pertains to this time period and
we are making God’s history for this time period. This time period is the time of Jesus’ Advent
when seen in light of the entire history of God.

Even though people are living in this same world, some live six thousand years behind, some
live three thousand years behind, some live one thousand years behind, and some live a hundred
years behind in terms of civilization. Even though people believe in the same Jesus, the people of
the old times and the people of the new times are living at totally different levels. People of the
new times live at a level that people of the old times cannot even imagine.

The Word of this time period is the highest-level Word since the creation of the Earth, which
Jesus proclaims through the man-of-mission. You are listening to that Word right now. The
Word that the Lord teaches through the man-of-mission whom He sent in this time period is
the greatest gospel of this time period. The reason why God has worked on the Earth for six
thousand years until now is to proclaim the gospel of this time period for human beings to hear.
This is the gospel that resolves and unravels all the mysteries of the Bible.

However, even though this gospel has been preached to them, those who don’t like to believe
don’t believe and they are spending their time of the gospel by slandering and rejecting the
gospel. This is the most opportune time for them to save their spirit, but they come to an end
while using that time to push away, reject, and ignore the gospel. Only those who listen to the
gospel of this time period and take action will receive blessings in both the body and the spirit
and fulfill the greatest salvation by receiving the Lord.

You must hear the gospel of the times in order for you to discern and know the times. Those who
opposed the gospel when Jesus came in the flesh declared, “We are good, and we are free from
any problems because we believe in God.” However, God actually began a new history through
Jesus just as He had promised them. Yet the Jews opposed Jesus without knowing that fact, so
they failed to receive the blessing God had promised them. Instead, they were judged according
to their wicked deeds because they opposed the gospel.

People of the former faith believe that they will be raptured and they are waiting with hope to be

raptured when they don’t even know what ‘the Rapture’ really is. All the people of the former
faith assert that the Rapture is physical bodies being taken into the air, and they are waiting for
the Rapture where they believe the physical bodies will go up to Heaven. Their belief does not
coincide with the principles and the truth. It disagrees with the fundamentals of the Bible. They
live physical lives, so they interpret the Bible physically also. For this reason, even though the
Rapture is taking place spiritually, they do not know about it.

The Rapture is the body and spirit coming out of the domain of death and entering Jesus’ domain
of life through hearing His Word and putting it to action. This is the ‘Physical Rapture’ that the
body fulfills on earth. When this happens, the spirit transforms into the heavenly form according
to the transformed deeds of the body. Then, when the archangel blows the trumpet and Jesus
returns, only the spirits that have perfectly transformed will go to Heaven—this is the Rapture.
This is the ‘Spiritual Rapture’ that the spirit fulfills in Heaven.
