MORNINGTIME 3761 

I (Jesus) have given them Thy Word; and the world hath hated them, because they are (no longer) of the world, even as I am not of the world. I PRAY NOT THAT THOU SHOULDEST TAKE THEM OUT OF THE WORLD, BUT THAT THOU SHOULDEST KEEP THEM FROM THE EVIL. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them (to separate from profane things and dedicate to God) through Thy Truth: THY WORD IS TRUTH. As thou hast sent Me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through The Truth. Neither pray I for these alone, BUT FOR THEM ALSO WHICH SHALL BELIEVE ON ME through their Word; John 17: 14-20. To do a "Strong's Concordance" word study of these verses is to literally ask the Father to keep Believers spiritually safe from sin, on planet earth. No need to "escape" from sin in this world by going to Heaven, but to stay on planet earth and be kept FROM the ravages of Sin. The so called "Rapture" IS to escape from sin on planet earth. Christ says, "No go", and man says, "Go", who speaks The Truth here? As Righteous Lot was kept safe from the sin all around him, as Jonah was kept safe from physical death in the belly of the Great Fish, as David was kept safe from sure death by the lion and the bear, and as the Jews were kept safe from the 10 plagues going on all around them, SO SHALL THE KEEPING POWER OF THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY KEEP YOU, BELIEVER, SAFE ON PLANET EARTH FROM SIN AND DEATH UNTIL THE MOMENT HE CALLS YOU HOME! If God BUILT all this, isn't He able to keep you Safe IN all this? Yes, Christ is coming back ONE TIME for His Pure Bride and yes, MANY lost AND Saved will continue to die when the Lord Calls them to their respective Homes. Death is part of Life. But in Christ, Life IN Christ is VICTORIOUS over sin and death until Christ Himself "recalls" His Gift of physical Life FROM you. Even in Life AND death, SIN HAS NO RIGHTS TO YOU. So LIVE in Christ, and, Be Blessed.
