Bible Question: my question is about the end of the world(rapture) |
Bible Answer: Greetings tkosborne, and welcome to the forum. Your question stated, “my question is about the end of the world(rapture)” It sounds like your question is derived from Matt. 24:3 from the KJV Matthew 24:3 KJV And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? The translation, in the English,the word world as in the KJV, which is my favorite, is at best a little misleading. The word “world” comes to us from the Koine Greek word AION pronounced ahee-ohn, and is better described as age or period. Matthew 24:3 NIV As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. "Tell us," they said, "when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?" The header to your question, 1 When Jesus comes do lost people stay. The lost will be in the same predicament that they were in right after Noah entered into the ark and the door was shut. The result will be the same as for those that remained in Sodom right after Lot left! The Lord will pour out His wrath and righteous indignation on those that are left that have given believers such a hard time and have not believed the gospel message, but it won’t be with the cooling effect of water this time! 2 Thes. 1:7-10 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, 8In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: 9Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; 10When 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. I think that pretty well says what will happen to those left behind and when it will happen. I personally think that Scripture infers that those left behind will be to busy trying to eliminate being fried then spending their last few moments worry about where all the believers went just a few minutes before! Have a nice day, CDBJ |
