1 Thessalonians 4: 17, “After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.”
The Rapture which is spoken of in the New Testament of the Holy Bible, refers to the Churches who truly serve Jesus Christ and who will be caught up in the sky to meet the Lord during the tribulation period. The term “rapture,” is not actually stated in scripture when describing this event but is used instead of the term “caught up,”as in The Holy Bible. At this time those who have passed and were in Christ and those who are still living will be given glorified bodies and meet The Christ in the sky 1 Corinthians 15: 52-52, “Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 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.” The Lord Jesus purpose during this is to provide an escape from the coming judgement of God upon the rest of the world who have received the mark of the beast (please read below for more on the mark of the beast) under His new world government. Many Christians should be aware that the Rapture will not occur before the coming of the AntiChrist but after, once He is empowered by Satan Himself, so please be ready. The Bible speaks of these troublesome times in 2 Timothy 3: 1-7, in which our Faith will be tempted but as the Word of God states in Luke 21:28 ” And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.” The tribulation period will be a period of 7 years as stated in Daniel 9:24-27, 3 and one half years of peace then 3 and one half of torment. I believe that it is after the first half when those who are in Christ, will be “caught up,” to receive Our glorified bodies and go with Jesus, returning then after to do away with Satan and His Fallen Angels and sinful world government. During this first period of three and a half years it is expedient that we preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ and Him Crucified so that those who have ears to hear will and be raptured up with Us to meet the Lord in the sky. So do not fear anything when these events begin to unfold in front of Our eyes in newspapers and on television but 1 Thessalonians 4:18 reads, “Therefore encourage each other with these words.” Meaning that Our Lord Jesus Christ is very soon to come, and free all who are in Him dead and alive from the Devil and the bondage of sin! God Bless…
