Bible Question: after the rapture is the Holy Spirit going to ramain on earth? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Ms.Linda! The Holy Spirit is the desposit that guarantees the believer eternal life; the Holy Spirit is the means by which individuals are drawn to the Savior. The Holy Spirit is the power that enables the believer, convicts of sin, guides, comforts, etc. Ephesians 4:30 tells us that believers are "sealed" unto redemption. In Revelation 7, we read about 144,000 Jews also being "sealed." These will be the witnesses of the tribulation period. As a result of their testimony, many will turn to the Lord during this great time of jugdement upon the earth yet most will die a martyr's death. If these things are to occur, how could the Holy Spirit NOT be present? The "rapture" of the church signifies the end of the "age of Grace," not the end of the work of the Holy Spirit on earth. Blessings and Romans 8:35-39! Mommapbs |
