Applications:

1.  The Psalmist, Asaph, is giving an account of when God will summon the heavens and earth to bring Judgment of the righteous and the wicked in the last days.  It is beautiful to see, even in the Old Testament account, that God will first gather His "godly ones" to Himself.  This is a picture of the "snatching up of believers" and is called "The Rapture" derived from the Latin language.  What does the Bible tell us about this truth?

• Psalm 50:5 -
• Daniel 12:1,2 -
• Matthew 26:64 -
• Mark 13:32 -
• John 14:1-3 -
• 1 Corinthians 15:52 -
• 1 Thessalonians 1:10 -
• 1 Thessalonians 4:16,17 -
• 1 Thessalonians 5:9 -
• Hebrews 9:28 -

2.  When we find ourselves in the "day of trouble", we should call on God, and He said He will deliver us.  This is spoken to Israel also.  So many times, people do not call on God, but He is there for everyone who will call on Him.  How does the Bible support this truth?

• Psalm 50:15 -
• Isaiah 55:6,7 -
• Jeremiah 29:12,13 -
• Jeremiah 33:3 -
• Amos 5:4 -
• Matthew 7:7 -
• John 3:16 -
• John 6:37 -
• John 10:27 -
• Acts 2:19-21 -
• Acts 17:26,27 -
• Romans 10:13 -
• James 4:8 -

3.  The wicked who don't acknowledge God think that God doesn't keep count of their ways and that He is just like "them", but He keeps records of their wrongs and they will surely give an account of their deeds on the Day of Judgment if they do not repent in this life and believe in the Lord Jesus who took their judgment on Himself. He is currently being patient putting off the Day so that they will not perish. He longs for all to come to Him, but will repay those who do not. Comment on the following Scriptures:

4.  As believers, we live in the blessed hope of His soon return!  We look forward to the day that our faith becomes sight!  We give a sacrifice of thanksgiving to Him daily and live to offer our body a living sacrifice to serving Him.  Comment on the following Scriptures and rejoice in knowing Him.

• Psalm 27:6 -
• Psalm 50:23 -
