Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will 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 imperishable, and we will be changed.
1 Corinthians 15:51-52 (NASB)
This post is not about the persecution of the church which sometimes manifests as a forceful removal from the culture. It’s about the “harpazo”, the forceful removal of the church from the earth by the Lord.
Paul described here what happens when the church is called to heaven in the rapture. This is the moment believers receive immortal, glorified bodies and instantly meet the Lord in the air. Supernatural. Not in the Sunday bulletin. Gonna happen.
Many scoff, even among those who profess to believe, at the supernatural teaching of the Bible. The scoffing itself is part of what was predicted, as the great falling away from faith continues. It’s heart breaking. We are so close to this event. We should be longing for his appearing. Do you long for His appearing and meeting the lord in the air? Do you scoff at it? Or do you dread it?
Believing or not believing does not change the reality that God will bring, only one’s place in it. Search the scriptures with an honest and good heart and believe.
