Jesus Is Coming

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Can you imagine graves of saints bursting open all over the world and bodies rising to meet Jesus in the clouds? Can you imagine born again Christians living at that time being “caught up” to  meet  Jesus in the air? Another definition  for “caught up” in the original Greek language is “Rapture”. I’m longing for the “Rapture”.

Jesus' second coming will be in two distinct stages: First the “Rapture”, then, I believe, seven years later after the Great Tribulation, He will return to earth in all His glory, bringing His saints with Him.

The very One who could be your Savior today will then be your judge. If you have never accepted Jesus as your personal Savior, according to the inspired Word of God you won’t go to heaven. Think about it. Regardless of what you hear, Hell is real.

When Jesus  came the first time men mocked Him, rejected Him and put Him to death. The second time He will come as King of Kings and Lord of Lords to rule the world in righteousness.

Come, Lord Jesus.
