2 OF 5 | WHEN WILL THE RAPTURE HAPPEN IN THE END TIMES
When will the rapture occur? Who will go in it? What will happen to America after the rapture? When will the world end?
Is this the end time?
The End, Part 2 - August 9, 2020
Matthew 10:22 (NIV2011)
22 You will be hated by everyone because of me…
Romans 8:18 (NIV2011)
18 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 (NIV2011)
13 Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. 14 For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. 15 According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.
18 Therefore encourage one another with these words.
Believers will be physically changed
1 Corinthians 15:51-53 (NIV2011)
51 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed-
52 in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53 For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality.”
What about those who died? “To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord”
“Jesus will descend from heaven, accompanied by the perfected spirits of believers who have died. He will resurrect their bodies, now glorified, and the spirits of believers will be clothed with their new bodies.” Mark Hitchcock
Believers will be “caught up” together
Believers will be caught up together
“Caught Up”(English) = “Harpazo” (Greek) = “Raeptius” (Latin)
“To take suddenly”
Acts 8:39-40 (NIV2011)
39 When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord suddenly took Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him again, but went on his way rejoicing. 40 Philip, however, appeared at Azotus and traveled about, preaching the gospel in all the towns until he reached Caesarea.
Believers will be caught up together
Believers will be reunited
Believers should be watchful and ready
This event could happen at any time
Believers should be watchful and ready
The rapture could happen at any moment
1 Thessalonians 4:17 (NIV2011)
17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.
