Rapture Day Is Inevitable!
"Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep (die), but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed." (1 Corinthians 15:51-52). "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 in the air.
And thus we shall always be with the
Lord." (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17).
Suddenly, there is a shrill blast of the
trumpet. Not anything like the sound you
have ever heard. The sound reverberates
round the entire globe. The direction of the
sound is in the clouds. In some nations, it
is night-time while in others, it is broad
day-light. The time of day does not really
matter. The unfolding drama of glory in the
sky outshines the sun. It has caught
everyone unexpectedly. What is going on?
It is less than a minute since the trumpet
sounded. Suddenly, there are tremors all
over. The normally silent graveyards all
over the world instantly become very
active. The graves worldwide are shattered
and burst open! However, not all the
graves are affected. Some are still intact.
Behold, something amazing is happening.
From the opened graves, men and women
arise, shining greatly with the glory of God.
With the mighty power of Jesus Christ who
is standing in the sky, they are lifted up
into the shining clouds above. The opening
of the graves has attracted passersby and
the cemetery attendants. At the opening of
the graves and glorious ascension of the
resurrected saints, the passersby and
cemetery attendants all take to their heels
due to great fright! What has happened? It
is the resurrection/rapture!
At the death/resurrection of Jesus Christ,
an earthquake occurred. Some graves were
opened and many bodies of the dead saints
arose. They came out of the graves after
the glorious resurrection of Jesus Christ,
went to Jerusalem and appeared to many
people (Matthew 27:51-53). This supernatural occurrence was a precedent and a shadow of that which will happen on the great resurrection/rapture day. "...for the trumpet will sound and the dead will be raised incorruptible..." (1 Corinthians
15:52).
While people are wondering at the
unfolding drama in the graveyards
worldwide and the earth tremors all over,
another wave of living men, women and
children are lifted up supernaturally to the
sky by the mighty power of Jesus Christ
who is still standing in the sky. Countless
numbers of living men, women and children
are ascending up to the clouds apparently
unaided, from every nation and race
worldwide. Some raptured saints are
sleeping in beds in their pyjamas, others
are bathing or in their bathrobes while
some are at work in working clothes or
driving to their working places. Amazingly,
they all instantly become transformed
gloriously in shining white garments and
make their way into the cloud of glory
above. What is going on? It is the glorious
rapture! "Then we who are alive and
remain shall be caught up in the air. And
thus we shall always be with the Lord." (1
Thessalonians 4:17).
Soon, there is panic everywhere.
