[3] For WHEN THEY SHALL SAY, PEACE AND SAFETY; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape (1 Thessalonians 5: 3 (KJV) EMPHASIS MINE); [4] The first was LIKE A LION, AND HAD EAGLE'S WINGS: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it (Daniel 7: 4 (KJV) EMPHASIS MINE).

Salvation is so amazing and totally by grace that even where a Believer has not worked with God upon the foundation set by Jesus Christ, they will still have eternal life though with no reward for any work done without God. Such rewards will be identifiable and seen by everyone in the Age to come; such rewards God calls, ‘Crowns’ in the Bible.

EVER WONDERED WHAT THE ‘CROWNS’ REPRESENT WHICH WILL BE CAST DOWN BEFORE THE THRONE OF GOD IN REVELATION 4? Whether they are positions of AUTHORITY, RANK, OR PRIVILEGE SYMBOLIC OF ADDITIONAL POWERS, ABILITIES, AND DUTIES HELD BY A BELIEVER IN THEIR NEW BODY it is not stated in Revelation or any other part of Scripture. However, Crowns and other eternal rewards for those who have eternal life is worthy to note.

4.3 CROWNS OF REWARDS TO BELIEVERS WHO HAVE BEEN FAITHFUL, "Whose Will Be Done?" FREE DOWNLOAD: http://ftp.whosewillbedone.altervista.org

[12] His eyes were as a flame of fire, and ON HIS HEAD WERE MANY CROWNS; and He had a name written, that no man knew, but He Himself. [JESUS CHRIST WILL HAVE MANY CROWNS UPON HIS HEAD WHEN HE RETURNS TO JUDGE AND RULE THE WORLD] … [15] And out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should smite the nations: and HE SHALL RULE them with a rod of iron: and He treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. [16] And He has on His vesture and on His thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, and LORD OF LORDS. (Revelation 19: 12, 15-16 KJV)

A Believer who has mastery over their own body and mind, and preaches God’s Word FREELY, is temperate in all things and will obtain an ‘Incorruptible Crown’.

[17] For IF I DO THIS thing WILLINGLY, I HAVE A REWARD: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me. [18] What is my reward then? [BELIEVERS ARE AND WILL BE REWARDED FOR THEIR WORK WITH GOD] Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ WITHOUT CHARGE, that I abuse not my power in the gospel … [25] And every man that strives for the mastery is TEMPERATE IN ALL THINGS. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible CROWN; but we an INCORRUPTIBLE. [AN INCORRUPTIBLE CROWN FOR SELF-CONTROL] [27] But I KEEP under MY BODY, and bring it INTO SUBJECTION: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. (1 Corinthians 9: 17-18, 25, 27 KJV)

An Incorruptible Crown for self-control and ably preaching God’s Word freely to everyone at their own respective levels of understanding and positions in life (for example, to the free, the Jews, those under the law, and those without the law).

4.7 AN INCORRUPTIBLE CROWN, ‘WHOSE WILL BE DONE?’

A Crown of Righteousness will be given to a person who loves and anticipates Christ’s Appearing and exhorts others with God’s Word.

[2] PREACH THE WORD; be instant in season, out of season; REPROVE, REBUKE, EXHORT WITH ALL LONG SUFFERING AND DOCTRINE ... [7] I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: [8] Henceforth THERE IS LAID UP FOR ME A CROWN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, which THE LORD, the righteous judge, SHALL GIVE ME at that day: and not to me only, but unto ALL THEM ALSO THAT LOVE HIS APPEARING. [A CROWN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS WILL BE GIVEN ON A PARTICULAR DAY TO ALL WHO LOVE THE APPEARING OF JESUS CHRIST] (2 Timothy 4: 2, 7-8 KJV)

What of those who are saved but do not know about Christ’s Appearing at the Gathering Together in the clouds which some also call, ‘The Rapture’? Most likely they will not know what just happened to them when they suddenly appear in the clouds with The Lord — especially if they had not learned about this upcoming momentous event which the Faithful would have learned by simply reading 1 Corinthians 15: 51-58 and 1 Thessalonians 4: 13 to 5: 11.

[51] Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, [52] In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. [IN THE TIME IT TAKES TO TWINKLE AN EYE THE SAVED WHO ARE DEAD WILL BE RAISED FROM THE GRAVE AND THE SAVED WHO ARE ALIVE AT THE MOMENT THE TRUMPET SOUNDS WILL BE CHANGED] [53] For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. [54] So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. [55] O death, where is your sting? O grave, where is your victory? [56] The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. [57] But thanks be to God, which gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. [58] Therefore, my beloved brethren, be you steadfast, unmoving, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as you know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. (1 Corinthians 15: 51-58 KJV)

[4: 13] But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that you sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. [14] For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. [15] For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. [‘PREVENT’ = PRECEDE IN GREEK] [16] For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: [THOSE WHO WERE SAVED BEFORE THEY DIED WILL BE TAKEN OUT OF THE GRAVE AND MADE ALIVE AND TAKEN INTO THE CLOUDS TO MEET CHRIST BEFORE THE LIVING CHRISTIANS ARE TAKEN UP FROM THE EARTH] [17] Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. [BELIEVERS WILL BE SNATCHED FROM THE EARTH AND TAKEN INTO THE CLOUDS WHERE CHRIST WILL BE FOR THAT PERIOD OF TIME] [18] Therefore comfort one another with these words. [BELIEVERS ARE TO COMFORT EACH OTHER WITH THE KNOWLEDGE OF THIS PENDING APPEARING OF JESUS CHRIST AND THE RAPTURE OF ALL THOSE WHO ARE SAVED INTO HIS PRESENCE IN THE CLOUDS ABOVE THE EARTH]

[5: 1] But of the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I write unto you. [2] For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. [3] For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction comes upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. [4] But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. [5] You are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. [6] Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. [BELIEVERS ARE TO WATCH FOR THE COMING OF JESUS CHRIST IN THE CLOUDS] [7] For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.

[8] But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. [9] For God has not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, [10] Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. [11] Therefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also you do. [THE APPEARING OF JESUS CHRIST TO COLLECT THE DEAD AND LIVING BELIEVERS IN AN INSTANT OF TIME INTO THE CLOUDS WITH HIM IS COMFORTING AND BELIEVERS ARE TO COMFORT AND EDIFY EACH OTHER WITH THIS KNOWLEDGE] (1 Thessalonians 4: 13-5: 11 KJV)

Every Believer is exhorted to watch for the Coming of Jesus Christ in the clouds so that they will not be surprised when they are quickly taken from the earth into the clouds with Jesus Christ. If they do not watch and look out for His Appearing in the clouds they most likely will not ‘love’ His Appearing because to love His Appearing would mean that the saved person would constantly think about and anticipate Christ’s Appearing and so act godly and enthusiastically in their day-to-day walk with God on this earth.

Those who love His Appearing are promised a Crown of Righteousness which God wants us to receive; but to love His Appearing means a person will need to know about this wonderful ONE TIME EVENT. Sadly all too often, the Appearing has not been known by those caught up in the traditions of men, let alone the many who have not even read the Bible at least once in their lives.

4.9 A CROWN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, "Whose Will Be Done?"

It is not simply the actual achievements of individual Believers that will be weighed by the Lord when rewards are given but whether or not a believer did 100% of what God gave them to do with their life before The Day of Redemption (faithfulness with what God gave them to do in their lives and gifts from God). For example, where a person who was called to clean and prepare meeting places put their whole heart and energies into preparing the meetings (as if they were preparing for a meeting with the Lord Jesus Christ) compared to a preacher, or any other public Christian service, who gave only 80% of their heart and energies in preaching the bible to others. [You are encouraged to see all the other postings in this Collection as this one posting section of Scripture cannot cover all the aspects stated here.]

[18] Hear you therefore the parable of the sower. [19] When anyone hears The Word of The Kingdom, and understands it not, then comes the wicked one, and catches away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. [20] But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that hears The Word, and anon with joy receives it; [21] Yet has he not root in himself, but endures for a while: for when tribulation or persecution arises because of The Word, by and by he is offended. [22] He also that received seed among the thorns is he that hears The Word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke The Word, and he becomes unfruitful. [23] But he that received seed into the good ground is he that HEARS THE WORD, AND UNDERSTANDS IT; which ALSO BEARS FRUIT, and BRINGS FORTH, SOME AN HUNDREDFOLD, SOME SIXTY, SOME THIRTY. (Matthew 13: 18-23 KJV)
