The Rapture Of The
Church. When?
What
will be the next big event on God's
Calendar?
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
