For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven

with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and

with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ

will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain

shall be caught up together with them in the clouds

to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall

always be with the Lord.

... 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 ...

"Snatched Away"

One day Jesus is coming for His church; He's going to catch

us up. He is going to take us by force out of this world.

This "snatching away" is known as the rapture. Some people

ignorantly argue against the idea of the rapture, declaring

that the actual word "rapture" doesn't even appear in the

Bible. But the Greek word harpazo is translated in the

King James Version as "caught up." The word means "to be

taken away by force or by power." In translating from Greek

into Latin, the Latin Vulgate version uses the word raptus,

and the word rapture is a transliteration of that word.

When the rapture happens, it is going to take us by surprise.

"Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming

at an hour you do not expect" (Luke 12:40). The day is

coming soon. With a shout, He will say, "Come on up!" And

we who are alive and remain will be caught up, snatched up,

taken by force out of this sin-cursed world.

Are you ready for this magnificent event?

Father, thank You for the glorious hope of the blessed

appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ. Help

us to live in such a way that we are ready when the

moment comes. Amen!

All flesh is as grass,

And all the glory of man as the flower of the grass.

The grass withers,

And its flower falls away,

But the word of the LORD endures forever.
