The Rapture Of The Church

Luke 21:34-36

“But Take Heed to Yourselves (Believers), lest Your (Believers) Hearts be weighed down, with carousing, drunkenness, and Cares of This Life, and That Day come on YOU (Believers) unexpectedly.  For it (That Day) will come as a snare, on ALL those who dwell on The Face of The Whole Earth.  WATCH therefore, and PRAY Always, that YOU (Believers) may be Counted Worthy to ESCAPE All These Things, that will Come To Pass, and to Stand BEFORE The Son of Man (Jesus Christ).”

 

1 Corinthians 15:50-53

 

Now this I (Paul) say, Brethren (Believers), that flesh and blood can NOT Inherit The Kingdom of God (God Almighty); nor does corruption Inherit Incorruption.  Behold, I (Paul) tell YOU (Believers) a MYSTERY: We (Believers) shall NOT All Sleep, but We (Believers) shall All be CHANGED, in a Moment, in The Twinkling of an Eye, at The Last Trumpet.  For The Trumpet will Sound, and The Dead will be Raised Incorruptible, and We (Believers) shall be CHANGED.  For this corruptible MUST Put On Incorruption, and this mortal MUST Put On Immortality.

Philippians 3:17-21

Brethren (Believers), join in following my (Paul’s) example, and note those (Believers) who so walk, as YOU (Believers) have Us (Jesus’ Disciples) for a Pattern.  For many (Unbelievers) walk, of whom I (Paul) have told YOU (Believers) often, and now tell YOU (Believers) even weeping, that they (Unbelievers) are The Enemies of The Cross of Christ (Jesus Christ): whose end is Destruction, whose god is their (Unbelievers) belly, and whose glory is in their (Unbelievers) shame, who set their (Unbelievers) mind on Earthly things.  For Our (Believers) Citizenship is in Heaven, from which We (Believers) also EAGERLY WAIT for The Savior, The Lord Jesus Christ, who will Transform Our (Believers) Lowly Body, that it may be CONFORMED to His (Jesus Christ’s) Glorious Body, According to The Working by which He (Jesus Christ) is Able, even to Subdue All Things to Himself (Jesus Christ).

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

 

But I (Paul) do NOT want YOU (Believers) to be ignorant, Brethren (Believers), concerning Those (Believers) who have Fallen Asleep (The Dead in Christ), lest YOU (Believers) sorrow, as others who have NO Hope.  For if We (Believers) Believe that Jesus (Jesus Christ) died and Rose Again, even so God (God Almighty) will bring with Him (Jesus Christ), Those who Sleep in Jesus (The Dead in Christ).  For this We (Believers) say to YOU (Believers), by The Word (The Gospel of Jesus Christ) of The Lord (Jesus Christ), that We (Believers) who are Alive and Remain, until The Coming of The Lord (Jesus Christ), will by no means PRECEDE Those, who are Asleep (The Dead in Christ).  For The Lord (Jesus Christ) Himself will Descend from Heaven with a Shout, with The Voice of an Archangel, and with The Trumpet of God (God Almighty).  And The Dead in Christ, will Rise FIRST.  Then We (Believers), who are Alive and Remain, shall be Caught Up Together with Them (The Dead in Christ) in The Clouds, to MEET The Lord (Jesus Christ) in the Air.  And thus We (Believers) shall ALWAYS be with The Lord (Jesus Christ).  Therefore Comfort One Another with These Words.

1 Thessalonians 5:1-11

 

But concerning The Times and The Seasons, Brethren (Believers), YOU (Believers) have NO Need, that I (Paul) should write to YOU (Believers).  For YOU (Believers), Yourselves, KNOW Perfectly that The Day of The Lord, so comes as a Thief in The Night.  For when they (Unbelievers) say, “Peace and safety!” then Sudden Destruction comes upon them (Unbelievers), as labor pains upon a pregnant woman.  And they (Unbelievers) shall NOT escape.  But YOU (Believers), Brethren, are NOT in darkness, so that This Day (The Day of The Lord) should overtake YOU (Believers) NOT, as a Thief.  YOU (Believers) are All, Sons of Light and Sons of The Day.  We (Believers) are NOT of the night, nor of darkness.  Therefore let Us (Believers) NOT sleep, as others do, but let Us (Believers) NOT, WATCH and be Sober.  For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night.  But let Us (Believers) NOT, who are of The Day, be Sober, Putting On The Breastplate of Faith and Love, and as a Helmet, The Hope of Salvation.  For God (God Almighty) did NOT Appoint Us (Believers) to Wrath, but to Obtain Salvation, through Our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for Us (Believers), that whether We (Believers) Wake or Sleep, We (Believers) should Live Together with Him (Jesus Christ).  Therefore Comfort Each Other and Edify One Another, just as YOU (Believers) also are doing.

2 Thessalonians 2:1-4

Now, Brethren (Believers), concerning The Coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ and Our (Believers) Gathering Together to Him (Jesus Christ), We (Jesus’ Disciples) ask YOU (Believers), NOT to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from Us (Jesus’ Disciples), as though The Day of Christ (Jesus Christ) had Come.  Let NO ONE Deceive YOU (Believers), by ANY MEANS; for That Day (The Day of Christ) will NOT Come, unless The Falling Away Comes First, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself (the man of sin) above all that is called God (God Almighty) or that is worshiped, so that he (the man of sin) sits as God, in The Temple of God (God Almighty), showing himself (the man of sin), that he (the man of sin) is God.

Titus 2:11-14

For The Grace of God (God Almighty) that brings Salvation has Appeared to All Men, Teaching Us (Believers) that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, We (Believers) should Live Soberly, Righteously, and Godly in The Present Age, Looking for THE BLESSED HOPE and Glorious Appearing of Our Great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave Himself (Jesus Christ) for Us (Believers) , that He (Jesus Christ) might Redeem Us (Jesus Christ), from every lawless deed, and Purify for Himself (Jesus Christ), His Own Special People (Believers), Zealous for Good Works.

Revelation 3:7-8, 10

“And to The Angel of The Church in Philadelphia write, ‘These Things says He (Jesus Christ) who is Holy, He (Jesus Christ) who is True, “He (Jesus Christ) who has The Key of David, He (Jesus Christ) who OPENS and NO ONE shuts, and SHUTS and NO ONE opens”: “I (Jesus Christ) KNOW Your (Believers) Works.  See, I (Jesus Christ) have Set Before YOU (Believers) an OPEN DOOR, and NO ONE can shut it; for YOU (Believers) have a Little Strength, have KEPT My (Jesus Christ’s) Word (The Gospel of Jesus Christ), and have NOT denied My (Jesus Christ’s) Name.  Because YOU (Believers) have KEPT My (Jesus Christ’s) Command to Persevere, I (Jesus Christ) also will Keep YOU (Believers), from The Hour of Trial, which shall Come Upon The Whole World, to TEST those who Dwell on The Earth.”

Fellow Believers, please understand, there is a difference between “The Rapture of The Church” AND “The Second Coming of Jesus Christ.”  In The Rapture of The Church, Believers will MEET Jesus Christ in The Air AND be TAKEN to Heaven, by Jesus Christ, Himself.  At The Second Coming of The Son of Man (Jesus Christ), Jesus Christ will physically return to Earth, with His Saints (Believers).  Here’s a way to keep These Two Events SEPARATE, Jesus Christ first came 2,000 plus years ago TO His Own (His Life, His Death/Crucifixion, His Resurrection, and His Ascension).  Jesus Christ will next come FOR His Own (The Rapture of The Church).  And finally, Jesus Christ will come WITH His Own (The 2^nd Coming of Jesus Christ).  As always, I pray each of YOU (Believers) will READ and STUDY The Holy Bible, for yourselves.  Then Pray for Wisdom and Knowledge, and thereby come to your own conclusions.
