As soon as you perceive that the time for the rapture may be near, please do the following in context with Matthew 24 (since we must maintain our scriptural foundation):
1. Locate the nearest mountain. (If you are in Kansas, sorry, but you are in serious trouble.) — "Let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains."
2. Make sure you have a full tank of gas so you can leave your city of residence — "Let those in the city get out."
3. If you are temporarily out of town, think twice about returning home — "Let those in the country not enter the city."
4. Make sure you live upstairs — "Let no one on the housetop go down to take anything out of the house."
5. Don’t have children — "How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers!"
6. Pray it happens in the summer — "Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath."
7. Make sure you are a farmer that has his cloak — "Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak."
8. Don’t attend a marriage ceremony — “And just as it happened in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: they were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage. . . .”
9. But most importantly, don’t take your time machine back in history 2,000 years because Jesus said it would happen while some of his contemporaries were still alive: “Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.” (Matthew 24:34; see also Matthew 10:23; 16:27-28; 26:64; Revelation 1:1-3; 22:6-20)

“Pray it happens in the summer —”
I live in Central Texas and South Louisiana.
At around 11:00 a.m. each day of the summer, it feels like a rapture.

How to prepare for the rapture? Be pure.

Only one way to prepare. Repent, ask Jesus Christ to forgive you and enter your life as Lord and Savior. Then look up! For your salvation draweth nigh. Trust in Christ and Him only
Amen and lines 1-10 apply to Israel when they flee during the tribulation, because they realize the false savior the Antichrist is coming to destroy them.
That covers it.
How to prepare for the rapture? Be pure....
BINGO...
Isaiah 26
19 Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.
20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.
21 For, behold, the Lord cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.
That covers it.
Every Day... Several times per day.
“..the time for the rapture may be near..”
LOL
Your #9 is ... off the mark.
You are in error early on in your essay linked. The brigal Party goes out to meet the Bridegroom AND RETURN TO THE FATHER’s HOUSE, not the Earth ... unless the father you refer to is the prince of the power of the air.
I’ve been to the dentist! Going to the afterlife with clean teeth, or my mother would be so embarrassed.
In 70AD 'the Abomination of Desolation did not stand int he Holy of Holies proclaiming himself god. The Roman soldiers stood their banners at the gate, not in the burned down Temple. The devastation fo the Temple was so complete, Vespasian ordered the rubble 'kilned for the gold' melted from the stone surfaces. Orders had been givent o preserve the Temple, nut it burned utterly.
I thought that was ‘put on clean underwear before you go out’, not ‘make sure your teeth are clean’ ?
1- For the Bride of Christ, The Body of Christ to be outta here when the wrath of God is poured out in ever increasing severity
2- the evangelizing of humanity will be done by a chosen 144,000 JEWISH evangelists; Daniel's seventieth week, according to GOD, is to 'put an end to sin in Israel'. The Tribulation is about Israel, for the Age of Grace has ended with the snatching away of the Bride of Christ. And to be clear, the Rapture is not a hidden or secret event. It will cause devastation to civilization unseen in all of human History.
