Bible Question: second coming |
Bible Answer: Greetings GmaKate, You asked a question about understanding the rapture and the second coming. Our understanding of the "rapture," as related to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, is largely based on 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18: 1 Thess. 4:13-18 "But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words." Please also read Matthew chapter 24. Once you have read these accounts, you will be more prepared to come to an understanding of the rapture in relation to the Second Coming of Christ. Blessings to you, Makarios |
