- 3/18/23 COUNTDOWN
- Would you make any changes in your life if you knew the Rapture of the Bride of Christ was going to happen this April 9th, 2023?
Can I actually “Foretell” that the Rapture will be April 9th, 2023? No, I cannot but I can tell you the season. You need to read my book Hope for Those Left Behind for the details.
On my Bible Guy Web Site – page Movies – starting with Abraham. We have been watching the Bible Movies in order each evening: Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, Moses…
The Bride of Christ, who is she and who is she not.
Much has been said about the Bride of Christ. It is evident that she exists somewhere and is acting in some capacity. The place nearest to the Bridegroom is the place which is held by the Bride. The Bride is composed of the full overcomers, who are very close in their fellowship with Christ and with each other. They are also in very near relationship to the Holy Ghost, who transmits to them the precious things of the Bridegroom.
Fear not! I am telling you this in advance so you will know that God is in control, has a plan and wants to get your attention.
What you are about to read was written over 100 years ago published in 1919 and The Bible Guy was given permission to republish. What a great honor to have this available today.

The world has always listened to the message of love; but to the Bride of Christ that message is peculiarly sweet and precious. Christ, the Bridegroom, speaks to no other as He speaks to His beloved bride. His yearning is beautifully expressed in the Songs of Solomon 5:2, “I sleep, but My heart waketh; it is the voice of My beloved that knocketh, saying, Open unto me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night.”
From 1919 Book The First and The Last by Ira Surface, republished by Thomas Spencer The Bible Guy. CHAPTER 9
VII. REQUISITES OF THE BRIDE
Sanctification is one of the requisites of the Bride of Christ. Paul says concerning the Bride, “Christ gave Himself for her that He might sanctify her.” Sanctification here means the same as it means elsewhere, separation unto a holy purpose. The purpose of Christ’s sacrifice on the cross was that we might be thus separated, and it is the privilege of every one who is called. But we know that all who:
A. are called are not thus separated;
B. consequently, they are not chosen.
So, while Christ’s purpose was to provide a means by which He might present to Himself a Bride separated from the world, there will be but
C. few who will be willing to deny themselves.
1. Sanctified
“Sanctified, and cleansed by the word” means that as the word of God operates on us, it reveals our state. Thus, sanctification and cleansing are a progressive process. As the word of God is made known to us, it makes new claims for chastity and holiness. As its depths are unfathomable, its claims are not fully known, and we are always in the progressive stage of sanctification. So, the Bride of Christ is making herself ready. She is now the pearl of great price, before He has polished her and made her all glorious, “that He might present to Himself a “Ekklesia” without spot or wrinkle.” She will be perfected at the resurrection. He will catch her up to Himself, and she shall see Him as He is. Then she shall be like Him.
