Hello and Happy Day! This is Dr. MaryAnn Diorio, novelist and life coach, welcoming you to another episode ofW inning with the Word. Today is Monday, August 23, 2021, and this is Episode #29 of Series 2021. This episode is titled "Are You Ready for the Return of Jesus Christ?"
_______________________________
The next major event scheduled on the Biblical calendar is the Rapture of the Church. This momentous event will mark a critical shift in the direction of the world since, as a result of the Rapture, the world will be thrust into total chaos and will be ripe for the rise of the AntiChrist.
So, what exactly is the Rapture, and why is it critically important that you be ready for it?
The Rapture of the Church is the instant in time in which Jesus Christ will appear in the sky to remove His true followers from the earth. Only His followers will see Him when He appears; the rest of the world will not.
When Christ's followers are suddenly removed, the world will be thrust into total chaos and confusion. Imagine this: Christian pilots will disappear while they are flying their airplanes. Christians driving cars will suddenly disappear, leaving their cars careening crazily in the midst of traffic. Christian doctors performing surgery will suddenly disappear from their operating rooms. Christian machinery operators will instantly be removed from behind their machinery. Because they have not yet reached the age of reason and accountability, all babies and little children will suddenly go missing. I think you get the picture.
After the Rapture, those left behind will find themselves in an unspeakably horrific situation and will cry out for someone to take charge and put things back in order. That someone will be the AntiChrist.
The rise of the AntiChrist will usher in a seven-year period of unimaginable trials, tragedy, and torment known as the Tribulation. The Tribulation will be a period of worldwide dictatorship and loss of freedom under the AntiChrist. At the halfway mark of the Tribulation, the AntiChrist will demand that the entire world give him worship and allegiance by taking his mark, called the Mark of the Beast. According to Revelation 13: 16-17, this mark will be placed on the hand or the forehead.
Just this past week, I read a chilling article about a young man in Italy who tattooed his vaccine pass onto his right arm. I'm not saying that the vaccine passport is the mark of the beast. I am saying, however, that it is heading in that direction. Folks, we are almost there! Wake up! Realize that the Bible's predictions made thousands of years ago are coming to pass before our very eyes.
So, what does all of this mean for you?
It means that, if you want to escape hell on earth and hell in eternity, you need to accept Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord, and you need to accept Him now. You have no time to lose.
It means that if you have not accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord, you are in for the worst suffering of your life–a suffering that you may not survive. But, even worse than that, you are in for an eternity of unending suffering in hell.
Why? Because the Bible says that if you take the mark of the beast in order to buy and sell, you will be worshipping the AntiChrist, who is Satan personified, and pledging allegiance to him. The False Prophet, the AntiChrist's righthand man, will require that anyone who wants to buy or sell anything must take the mark of the beast. The Bible says this about those who take that mark: "He required everyone—small and great, rich and poor, free and slave—to be given a mark on the right hand or on the forehead. And no one could buy or sell anything without that mark, which was either the name of the beast or the number representing his name." ~ Revelation 13: 16-17.
We are already getting a taste of this restrictive measure now with the vaccine passport. Some airlines are refusing to allow non-vaccinated people to fly on their planes. Some businesses are refusing to allow unvaccinated customers to enter their places of business. Some universities are making the vaccine passport a requirement for enrollment. Many healthcare and educational facilities are refusing employment to the unvaccinated. All of these instances are precursors to the mark of the beast, as the world is being programmed to accept that mark.
So, again, what does all of this mean for you?
It means that you have a critical choice to make, a choice you need to make now because one moment from now may be too late. That choice is to accept Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord. Why do you need to make that choice now? Because Jesus Christ could return at any moment to remove His followers from the earth. And if you are not one of His followers when He returns, you will be left behind to endure the horrors of the Great Tribulation.
If you do not yet know Jesus, I implore you to receive Him now. Pray this simple prayer with me:
Lord Jesus, I need You. I need You in my life to save me. So I now invite You into my life, and I receive You as my personal Savior and the Lord of my life. I repent of my sins, and I ask You to forgive me. Thank You for saving me. Thank You for giving me eternal life. I pray this in Your Name. Amen.
If you sincerely prayed this prayer, please write to me at drmaryann@maryanndiorio.com. I would like to send you a free PDF booklet that will help you get started in your walk with Christ. I also encourage you to get yourself a Bible and to read it every single day. The Bible is God's love letter to you, His manual for your life. In the Bible, God reveals Who He is, and He teaches you how to live.
Finally, ask the Lord to lead you to the church of His choice for you where you can learn about Him and have fellowship and encouragement with other Christ-Followers. It is critically important in these last days to fellowship with other believers who are mature in Christ and who can guide you as you grow in Him.

THE IRON SAINT by MaryAnn Diorio, PhD
The Church in America is on the verge of a tremendous spiritual awakening, an awakening that will first be fueled by persecution unlike anything we have ever seen before in this land. Indeed, a prophetic word given in my home church during the month of November gave this warning to the Church: "Prepare for the fire of persecution!"
But the Church is not ready for this persecution. For the most part, the Church in America has been weak and lukewarm. Flabby and lazy. Consumed with the world and not with the things of God. As a result, the Church has been deceived and has subverted the divine order of things.
In THE IRON SAINT, Dr. MaryAnn Diorio seeks to help equip the saints for the work of true, integritous, and effective ministry. As a teacher in the Body of Christ, it is her burning desire to help correct this devastating error.
In THE IRON SAINT, Dr. Diorio has outlined a plan of action for strengthening the Church through uncompromising obedience to the Word of God. This plan of action is based on her own 50 years of walking with the Lord and being led by His Holy Spirit.
If you are a born-again believer and member of the Body of Christ, make this book a top reading priority.
