The Rapture Of The Church

The Rapture Of The Church. When?

What will be the next big event on God's Calendar?

Jesus Is Coming.

The short answer to this question is The Rapture Of The Church.

This is a moment in time when the Church (The Body of Christ) will be instantly removed or transported from the earth to heaven (1 Thessalonians. 4:16,17).

When will this Happen? Possibly Today! It is imminent.

Who will the participants be?
a. Jesus Christ - 1 Thess. 4:16a
b. The Archangel - 1 Thess. 4:16b
c. The Dead In Christ - 1 Thess. 4:16c
d. The Living In Christ - 1 Thess. 4:17

Who will be left behind?   All who rejected Jesus Christ.

What are we to do now before the Rapture?                    Note 1 Thessalonians 5
a. Learn The Word of God - 1 Thess. 5:1,2
b. Discern The Times - 1 Thess. 5:3,5
c. Concern For Sinners - 1 Thess. 5:6,9

The Rapture of the Church is to be the chief expectation in every area of our life.

Where in the Bible do we find the word rapture?

The word rapture is an old English word which means to be caught away. The word itself is not in our King James Bible, but the definition of the word is there. In 1 Thessalonians 4:16,17 we read. For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain SHALL BE CAUGHT UP together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.   Notice: Caught Up... is the meaning of the word rapture.

Sincerely, Dr. Arthur Belanger
