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] |
Bible Question:
This is one question that I was asked regarding the Rapture that I could not answer. If I am in a single motor airplane and there is only one pilot and there are 18 people on board who don't know how to fly and the rapture takes place while we are in midflight and the pilot is raptured and everyone else is left behind does this mean everyone on board will die in a crash? Who will fly the plane? Help! How do I answer this? |
Bible Answer: Looking for truth, I saw many answers of your questions. Let me try answers it in my on views. Its in the hand of God. Who knows if all of you in the airplane will all go to heaven. If your question is will God allows others to die? my answer is YES! if they are not prepared for the coming of Christ, meaning if they are people do not believed in Christ, God will allows the death for them. Let me give you and example. In the time of Noah, Ge 6:6 ¶ And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. Ge 6:7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. e 6:8 ¶ But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. Ge 6:9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. God destroy all the people except for those who walked with Him. So if other people in the plane you said is not walked with God we know that God will allows that death will happened to them. Be always reminded that God is powerful. He can allows things to happen if He want, but God also can fly that plane without any pilot if He want to. You can reply on this note if it is valid for you. We try to explain something if you want to. I hope it helps. God bless, Johnny |
