2 Corinthians 5:20  Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.

An ambassador never belongs to the country where they are stationed. They are citizens of another realm, sent on an official diplomatic mission. As believers, the Earth is not our home. We are stationed here temporarily to represent the King of Kings, holding out the message of reconciliation to a broken world!

Ambassadors carry legal documentation proving their true citizenship. Our passport is our salvation, sealed by the Holy Spirit, which secures our position as the Bride of Christ. We carry the authority of the Kingdom of Heaven because our names are permanently written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

When war or severe conflict is imminent, a nation immediately recalls its ambassadors from foreign soil. They are brought safely home before the destruction begins. This is why the Bride of Christ is not on Earth when the Tribulation period starts. As the ultimate sign of upcoming judgment, God calls His ambassadors back to their true Country—Heaven! You are a citizen of Heaven on foreign deployment today. Occupy your station with urgency, share the gospel boldly, and live with the joyful expectation of being called Home before the storm. Hallelujah!
