The Three Parts To The Rapture

September 5

"For the Lord himself will descend from heaven
with a shout, with the voice of an archangel,
and with the trumpet of God.
And the dead in Christ will rise first.
Then we who are alive and remain
shall be caught up together with them in the clouds
to meet the Lord in the air.
And thus we shall always be with the Lord.
Therefore comfort one another with these words."
1 Thessalonians 4:16-18

The three parts to the Rapture:

1. With A Shout
The Lord descends with a shout and the dead in Christ rise. Just as he called to Lazarus, "Lazarus come forth" and Lazarus came forth from the grave, so this time he will shout to all those who have died in Christ, "come forth," and all the dead in Christ will rise from the dead.

2. With A Voice
With the voice of the archangel: "Behold the Bridegroom comes!"
The bridegroom comes, and THOSE WHO ARE READY
will go in with him to the wedding. Those not ready, will not go.
Matthew 25:10 (The parable of the five wise and the five foollish virgins.)

3. With The Trumpet Of God
IT WILL NOT BE THE TRUMP OF ANGELS declaring JUDGMENTS
on earth as listed in the Book of Revelation! This is the Trump of GOD
calling the ASSEMBLY of his believers to be gathered together to meet him
in the AIR.

Jesus will not come onto the Mount of Olives as in the "second coming of Christ," but in the air to be taken to heaven with him "until the indignation be past" (Isaiah 26:20).
