“In a world of chaos, God is peace.” (READ Psalm 91 in the Bible)
Definition: Rapture – This is the event that will occur when Lord Jesus Christ calls His
followers (both gentile (non-Jew) believers and Jewish believers) with a trumpet blast,
and in the "twinkling of an eye" (very fast--lightning fast) they will be removed from the
earth and transported to be with Lord Jesus Christ in the clouds. Once in the clouds,
they will get their glorified bodies (because flesh and blood can’t go to Heaven), then
Lord Jesus Christ will take them to Heaven for eternity (forever) (1 Corinthians 15:50-55
and 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 of the Bible).
The Rapture is when Lord Jesus Christ comes from Heaven and returns to earth to take
the Church (His Bride/the Body of Christ/the Christians) and the Holy Spirit back to
Heaven before the destruction (horrors) of the Anti-Christ, Mark of the Beast, Tribulation
and the Great Tribulation begins (worst time on earth in history).
Lord Jesus Christ will come in the Rapture to take the bodies of the Christians who are
already in the graves, then He will take the Christians (the Church) who are saved by
Lord Jesus Christ and who are living right/holy/obeying God/forgiving others/not
living for “self”/not living and acting like this world (Lord Jesus Christ will take
the obedient Christians back to heaven). And the Holy Spirit will leave the earth too.
[Some but not all of the] Bible verses about the Rapture: 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18;
Revelation 3:10; 2 Thessalonians 2:7-8
Rapture:
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 of the Bible “But I would not have you to be ignorant,
brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others
which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so
them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you
by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of
the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 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. Wherefore comfort one another
with these words.” (King James Version)
John 14:1-3 of the Bible (Jesus Christ speaking) “Let not your heart be
troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house
(Heaven) are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go
to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will
come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be
also.” (King James Version)

Invitation to salvation through Jesus
Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior by faith and
repented (turned from your sins)?
Repentance/repent means stop doing your sins and turn to God, with a
mind made up to live holy and to obey God and His commandments by His
grace/help.
Matthew 7:21 of the Bible (Jesus Christ speaking) “Not every one that
saith unto me (Jesus Christ), Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom
of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.”
Jesus Christ shed His blood to save us from our sins, dying on the cross.
Jesus is the only way to Heaven. To be saved by Lord Jesus, say and
believe this prayer and repent of your sins/wrongful living. Don't put it off.
The hour is now:
“Dear God, please forgive me of my sins. I believe that You
Jesus, the Son of God and Savior of the whole world, died on the
cross to save me from sin and Hell and You rose from the grave
to give me new life and eternity in Heaven. By Your grace, I turn
from my sins (repent). Help me not return to sin. I accept You as
Lord and Savior of my life. I will obey You as Lord of my life.
Thank You for saving me, Lord Jesus.”
After being saved by Jesus, serve God. Obey God. Separate yourself from
the world (the worldly living) and live for Christ. Pray, read/study your Bible
daily. Spend time with God in quiet. Be water baptized in the name of God
the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Spirit. Be
baptized in the Holy Spirit (filling of Holy Spirit). Confess your faults to God,
ask forgiveness, and repent daily ANYTIME you do wrong.
