Bible Question: what is the rapture, what should i do? |
Bible Answer: Hi, What is called today 'the Rapture' refers to the taking away of living Christians, to be united with those who have just been raised from the dead, to be ever with the Lord. It is described in 1 Thessalonioans 4.13 ff and 1 Corinthians 15.52. As far as Christians are concerned that will be the end of time. it is only what follows (if anything other than the new Heaven and the new earth - 2 Peter 3.13) that causes problems. What should you do? Be sure that you are ready to meet the Lord at any time, for he will come unexpectedly. Thus you should rid your life of all known sin, you should openly confess Christ before others, and you should read and study His word and continue constantly in prayer. Those things are far more important than spending a lot of time on eschatological theories and interpretations on which there is such wide diversitirtes of opinions. Best wishes. |
