When Jesus sent out the disciples to spread the message, He told them that “The things that I do and more your too shall do in my name.”
As stated in Luke 17: 20 Once Jesus was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God was coming, and he answered, “The kingdom of God is not coming with things that can be observed; 21 nor will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or ‘There it is!’ For, in fact, the kingdom of God is within you.”
When you go within you find that you exist within Jesus. That’s what communion is all about. Jesus and you become one. When you realize this and experience it, things begin to happen and you are raised up while you are still here. That’s what the rapture is all about. That’s also what Jesus is talking about in John 17 and Matthew 24. Just as the lightning in the East is seen in the West, so will be the messiah... That’s because He is already here but people don’t know where to look to find Him. Look within and you will be raised up and find Him too.
The ability to walk on water is a natural attribute of being raised up. And, just as St Teresa of Avila experienced, it’s difficult to stay on the ground when you are totally filled with the Holy Spirit. This is not about showing off to others, it’s about making the journey within.
Replace the kingdom of God with the mark of the beast (in a manner of speaking, for comparison's sake) and you get:
>>>Once Jesus was asked by the Pharisees when the mark of the beast was coming, and he answered, “The mark of the beast is not coming with things that can be observed; 21 nor will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or ‘There it is!’ For, in fact, the mark of the beast is within you.”
