AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Thessalonians 4:17 Then we who are alive and remain [on the earth] will simultaneously be caught up (raptured) together with them [the resurrected ones] in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord! [John 14:3; 1 Cor 15:52; 2 Cor 5:8; Phil 1:23; Col 3:4] |
Subject: Rapture |
Bible Note: Greetings Vantage 68, Do you believe that as God’s children we will have a close idea as to when this time, we call the rapture, will take place? When the Scripture says "the day or the hour" that is being relatively close don’t you think; how about the times and the seasons, that leaves us an approximation? The Bible is explicit in telling us when God will take vengeance on those that persecute His elect. 2 Thes. 1:10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day. It appears as though God is going to accomplish two separate events on the same day, remove His believers, at the rapture, and pour out His wrath on unbelievers who are left, both events on the same day; much the same as He did during the days of Noah and Lot.
