At any given
moment, all at once, millions of people
throughout the entire world will vanish without a
trace. We have documented proof this will happen.
This proof is the inerrant, infallible, inspired
Word of Almighty God in the Holy Bible: "All
scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is
profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for
correction, for instruction in
righteousness:" (2 Timothy 3:16)
Many reasons will
probably be given for the disappearance of these
millions of people such as a terrorist attack
with a top secret weapon, a time warp, a weather
anomaly or even a mass alien abduction. It may
even be said that the earth has 'cleansed
itself' or that God has removed all the bad
people. None of these explanations will be true.
God's Word in the
Bible tells us that the reason for this mass
disappearance is called "The
Rapture". This means that living
Christians, those who have confessed Jesus as
their Lord and received Him as their Savior will
be instantly taken to Heaven by Him. Not only
that, but all deceased Christian's bodies will be
raised from the dead and also taken. We have
proof that this will happen from these verses in
the Bible:
"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." (1 Thessalonians
4:16-17)
Everyone living
that has received Jesus as their Savior or anyone
that had received Him before they died will be
raptured. No one but God the Father knows when
this will occur:
"But
of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the
angels of heaven, but my Father only."
(Matthew 24:36)
So we are warned
to be ready all the time, because Jesus could
appear at any time:
"Therefore
be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think
not the Son of man cometh." (Matthew 24:44)
Though the word 'rapture'
does not appear in English Bible translations,
which use the words"caught up" as in the 1
Thessalonians 4:17 verse above, the word "rapiemur" is used in the same verse
of the Latin
Vulgate translation of the Bible which
served as the basic Bible of the Western world
for over 1200 years, from 400 AD to 1611 when the
King James Version was published. The Latin
Vulgate is where the English word 'rapture'
comes from:
"deinde
nos qui vivimus qui relinquimur simul rapiemur cum
illis in nubibus obviam Domino in aera et sic
semper cum Domino erimus" (1 Thessalonians
4:17 Latin Vulgate)
