READY FOR WHAT?
THE
COMING OF THE LORD (THE RAPTURE)
1
Thessalonians 4:13-18 (NIV says “Brothers
and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who
sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind,
who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and
so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen
asleep in him. According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we
who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will
certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord
himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the
voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead
in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and
are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet
the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.
Therefore encourage one another with these words.”
