The Rapture and the Second Coming Of Jesus Christ:
THE RAPTURE:
But I would not have
you ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that you
sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe
that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in
Jesus will God bring with Him. For this we say unto you by the word
of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of
the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 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. Wherefore comfort one another with
these words
If you want to know the
order of the Rapture in this
End Time, when exactly it happens: It will be like in the days
of Noah...eating and drinking, giving in marriage (normal every day
things) If you will go from Noah in the Old Testament you will find
it goes like this:
Noah, as it is now
Enoch, Rapture
Cain, the mark of the beast
Genesis, God with us (Jesus
coming back with us to be with us on earth forever).
There are two Great Harvests:
1. The
believers: the Rapture (the snatching away of the church, the Body of Christ to Himself)
2. The unbelievers.
Mark 13:5
...Take heed lest any
man deceive you: For many shall come in my name, saying, I am
Christ; and shall deceive many. And when you shall hear of wars and
rumours of wars, be not troubled: for such things must needs be; but
the END shall not be yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and
kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers
places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the
beginnings of sorrows. But take heed to yourselves: for they shall
deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues you shall be
beaten: and you shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake,
for a testimony against them. And the gospel must first be published
among all nations. But when they shall lead you and deliver you up,
take no thought beforehand what you shall speak, neither do you
premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that
speak: for it is not you that speak, but the Holy Ghost.
Now
the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the
son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall
cause them to be put to death. And you shall be hated of all men for
my name's sake: but he that shall endure to the end, the same shall
be saved. But when you shall see the abomination of desolation,
spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let
him that reads understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to
the mountains: And let him that is on the housetop NOT GO DOWN into
the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house:
And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up
his garment. But woe to them that are with child, and to them that
give suck in those days! And pray that your flight be not in the
winter:
For
in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning
of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.
And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be
saved: but for the elect's sake, whom He has chosen, He has shortened
the days. And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ;
or, lo, he is there; believe him not: For false Christs and false
prophets shall rise, and shall show signs and wonders, to seduce, if
it were possible, even the elect. But take heed: behold, I have
foretold you all things. But in those days, after that tribulation,
the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, And
the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven
shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in
the clouds with great power and glory. And then shall he send his
angels, and shall gather together HIS ELECT from the four winds, from
the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven. Now
learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and
puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near: So you in like
manner, when you shall see these things come to pass, know that it is
nigh, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, that THIS GENERATION
shall not pass, till all these things be done. Heaven and earth
shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
But
of that day and that hour knows no man, no, not the angels which are
in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. Take heed, watch and
pray: for you know not when the time is. For the Son of man is as a
man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to
his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to
watch. Watch therefore: for you know not when the Master of the
house comes, at even, or at midnight, or at the cock-crowing, or in
the morning: Lest coming suddenly He find you sleeping. And what I
say to you I say unto all, WATCH.
The second
coming of Jesus Christ:
Jude
14. And
Enoch, also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying
Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of his saints
(which means that the saints would have had to be raptured and
resurrected with those that had died in Christ, in order to come
back) To execute judgment
upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all
their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all
their hard speeches, which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.
These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and
their mouth speaks great swelling words, having men's persons in
admiration because of advantage...There should be mockers in the
last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts...having not
the Spirit (of God).
