OVER
Deborah Jackson / Rapture Ready
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:1 Thessalonians 4:16
There are so many things in the Bible that are clearly defined; and yet there are mysteries that only God holds the answers to and He simply lets our faith speculate on His majesty.This, I personally believe.
I believe that in that exact moment when the trumpet sounds and the graves begin to burst open, that the dead in Christ will become instantly whole.Knowing that with God all things are possible; I believe that the “dust to dust” (Psalm 104:29)will come full circle – with every particle assembling to the original creation, awakened, and anticipating meeting their Creator.Scattered ashes will come to form.The seas will give up the tossed and torn.In a twinkling of an eye (1 Corinthians 15:52) painful memories will beno more, as those who have died of dreadful means will instantly have all of their created being.
Holding on to this amazing reality, brings a precious memory of a young man who lost his life in the Vietnam combat.To imagine that in less time than it takes to smile; this young soldier will be standing tall once more to walk through heaven’s gates and bow before our heavenly Father.This miracle will unfold for untold numbers who have lost Christian loved ones.
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. 1 Thessalonians 4:17Generations have come and gone that never had the probability of being the generation that lives to see one of the concluding finales of our infinite and wonderful God.In the writings/sermons of the profound preachers in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s (and even in the old hymns); you can almost sense that they knew Christ’s return was not in their era.They proclaimed Christ’s return and were relentless in their calling of grace and repentance, but often spoke of “someday” or “one day.”Countless souls are at rest today because of their persuasion and passion.
Christians of this generation do not hold that consensus of someday, but rather soon, if not today.Beyond the inevitable signs, the longing, and the peculiar expectancy; the reality is that there is nothing prophetically left to happen and not much more could happen before the Father says enough.His promises echo, Behold, I come quickly.Revelation 3:11How can one live today and not believe that it is almost over?
Over, for the Christian to receive the second most amazing gift from Christ; eternal life and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Over, for the lost soul without Christ; a merciless tribulation will follow and ultimately eternal sorrow.
However, before the “over” – the first supreme gift is still offered, still free, and so simple to receive. Just breathe his name, Jesus, and you will know Him too.

Rapture my arse
LOLz, where are all the zombies then, if the dead are going to rise first.
There is nothing magestic about a giant invsible fairy story character that delights in dashing infants against rocks. And it’s not omnipotent because it can be beaten with iron chariots.
It’s just dark age BS invented by a bunch of ignorant squased penises for political dictatorship purposes. You only have to look at who paid for the bibles creation to see that, the worst despotic totally insane dictator and living god the world has had the misfortune to be subjected too, the Roman emperor Constantine.
When the bible says in the preface it was inspired by god, that is who they meant. der Roman emperors were considered living gods.
If these so called prophesies are genuine then they have happend allready. Because we no longer use armoured cavalry and massive armies of sword weilding soldiers. Which is the description of the last battle. You’d think if it was genuine and about to happen that it would accurately describe our current technology, for which it fails miserably and proves it’s total codswallop.
