"Aliens have abducted them!” “No, it’s a scam; they’re in hiding somewhere.” These are some of the statements many in the world will make when they realise there’s been a sudden disappearance of so many people. Many don’t understand the Rapture because it’s a secret given by divine revelation.
The Apostle Paul, by the Spirit, got the revelation of the rapture of the Church and said, “Take notice! I tell you a mystery (a secret truth, an event decreed by the hidden purpose or counsel of God). We shall not all fall asleep , but we shall all be changed (transformed) in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet call. For a trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable (free and immune from decay), and we shall be changed (transformed)” (1 Corinthians 15:51-52 AMPC). That shows how fast the Rapture will happen; it’ll be so fast there’d be no time for those who weren’t prepared.
In 1 Thessalonians 5:17, we find an expression that’s synonymous with the term, “Rapture”; it’s the phrase, “caught up” which is from the Greek word, “ harpazo ̄.” It means to seize, catch (away, up), pluck, pull, take by force. At the Rapture, it makes no difference where you are, the power of God will snatch you away from this world. Christians who had died will be resurrected, and together with them, we’ll be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord. What a day that will be!
When is this going to take place? It’s closer than ever; it’s going to be anytime soon. Your responsibility is to be prepared by living your life for the Lord, every day. Keep walking in love, and keep your faith activated to be caught up to be with the Lord at His appearing. Live ever y day, every moment of your life in His righteousness, producing works and fruits of righteousness.
Prayer
The Lord Jesus is coming back, and I’m ready. My faith is activated to be caught up to be with the Lord in the air ! And while in expectation of this glorious “catching away,” my life and passions are about His Kingdom and its expansion; through me, many more are being enlisted for the Rapture, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
