The question, Are you Ready?, is important in the Bible.  Whether you are pre-trib rapture believer or a post-trib rapture believer, you need to be ready.  Notice I used the noun “believer” in both cases.  Because I think you can still be a Christian and have one or the other opinion.  I personally believe the Bible teaches a post-trib rapture, but since we cannot know for sure until the future events happen we cannot (nor should not) hold too tightly to this belief.  God can and will fulfill scripture according to his plan and not our.  But either way we need to be ready.  We need to be ready if the rapture takes place tomorrow or after the great tribulation (or in the middle for all those mid-tribers out there).  And be ready if the opinion you have is wrong.  If you believe in pre-trib, are you ready to live into the tribulation (with all the persecution of Christians)?  If you are post-trib, are you ready right now to be raptured if you are wrong?  As I said, I would rather teach/preach a post-trib rapture and be wrong because once the rapture takes place no one will blame me for teaching in error.  However if I teach/preach a pre-trib rapture and I am wrong, I am going to have to live here on earth with the fact that I was wrong and will have to justify why I was wrong to others.  If I was wrong about something so critical as the last time, how will anyone believe I am right about all the other things the Bible teaches.  So I guess what I want to leave with you is to be ready.  Ready to suffer or ready to be raptured but most importantly to be ready to die and stand before our maker and judge.  Because whether or not we are living in the last times or God tarries for another 1000 years, most of us have a greater potential to die before the rapture takes place.  The death rate still is 100% (even Christ died).  Are you ready for that?
