Hello Students,
The Rapture is being caught-up to be with Jesus in heaven.
This end-time event is not 'the Day of the Lord' which is when Jesus returns to walk on the earth.
What must take place before the rapture? Nothing!
The rapture can take place at any moment.
Theologians use the terms 'the imminent return of Jesus'.
"Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come." Matthew 24:42; Matthew 24:43-47
"Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not." Luke 12:40
Are you ready for the rapture?
A non-Christian drives his/her car more carefully when they think a police officer is possibly around.
When a Christian knows Jesus could rapture him/her at any moment he or she is more on the alert to be obedient to the Holy Spirit (Jesus) all the time. Christians who know the rapture could take place at any moment are very careful not to sin. They are more apt to walk in the Holy Spirit all of the time! When one walks in the Holy Spirit he/she can't sin.
The RAPTURE can take place at any moment.
Are you ready to meet JESUS?
In Jesus,
Bruce
