Are You Ready?

1Thessalonians; 4:16-17
(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.)
These verses refer to the time of the Rapture. This time will be when Jesus calls to Himself only those who are saved through faith in Him. There will be total chaos when this happens because people will suddenly disappear. Those who have refused to believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior will be left here to go through the tribulation period. It's going to be a time a great distress on the earth unlike any the world has ever known.

The word rapture is not used in this section, but that is the literal meaning of caught up. The Latin word rapto means "to seize, to carry off," and from it we get our English word rapture. So, for those who want to argue that the word rapture isn't in the Bible, this explains the meaning of the phrase "caught up". If you have put your faith in Jesus and been saved, you won't have to go through this tribulation period. If you want to know just how bad this period will be, read Revelation, 6-19.

Type in this web site and view this video http://bit.ly/2UQ7hd , this video dramatizes what it could be like. Just how quickly it will happen and how confused those who remain will be. They probably have heard about the rapture but refused to believe. We don't know the time of this event and we need to be ready. If you have not accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, now is the day. Tell Jesus that you know you need a Savior and you are sorry for your sins and you want Him to come into your life and save you.

God Bless You!
