Rapture

Tweet

The Bible prophesies a time at which the church will be caught up together with Jesus in the clouds. Those who have died will be risen, and those who are still living at his return will rise with the dead to meet Jesus when He returns. This event is what people call the 'Rapture'. This event is also commonly called the 2nd coming of Christ, because it will be when Jesus Christ returns to Earth in all of His glory. This will occur at the 7th trumpet in the book of Revelation. Read the articles in this section to learn more about the upcoming Rapture.

Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. (1 Corinthians 15:51-52)

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)
