2Thessalonians: Rapture
Paul wrote to Titus that we are looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ, Titus 2:13. He also encouraged him and us today, that we are to encourage one another concern the Lord’s return in the clouds for His church, all who are dead in Christ and those still alive and believe in Christ Jesus, 1Thessalonians 4:18.
For the church, the next great event to occur in the lives of all believers in Christ Jesus since His resurrection, when we were justified, Romans 4:24-25, is the snatching away, or rapture. There are no other events that have yet to occur. This long-awaited event can occur at any moment, it is an imminent event.
There is an outstanding Youtube presentation by Amir Tsarfati, titled "The Last Trumpet." He provides a great overview of the rapture during his talk.
Rather than repeat what already exists elsewhere in this site, the following are links to those places, where:
- Being snatched away (rapture) is one of eight revealed mysteries given to Paul
- Being changed in the twinkling of an eye, 1Corinthians chapter 15, and timeline
- The dispensation of grace, and the snatching away
…, even so Lord, come! Revelation 22:20.
