The Rapture of the believers is when Christ himself will descend from heaven in a flash. He will come so fast that when any human witnessing the event blinks his or her eyes, it will be over. The believers that are alive at that time will experience a dramatic change of their body. So, too, will the ones who are dead. In addition, the bodies of the dead will be resurrected...no matter what has happened to it at the time of death or afterwards. Then both groups of people--the dead and those who are alive--will be lifted into the air and whisked into heaven...into the presence of the Tri-un God.
This will happen in the future, and only God knows when this marvelous event will occur. It is because we will see our loved ones again, that we do not need to grieve for those who have died before us. Unlike the unbelievers who lose relatives, friends and family members to eternal death, we will see our relatives again...if both you and the deceased individual has put their trust and faith in God. The result is two born again Christians who will be looking forward to meeting again in the future.
The Bible states that "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." Then we shall be with the Lord, the other saints and the billions of angels for the rest of eternity.
This is a great site about Christianity. The website owner really has a passion for his/her religion and you can see it in the writings.
ReplyDeleteI like it how it is mentioned that when god comes from the heavens both dead and alive people will both come back to life, no matter how they died and will live in harmony with god.
We will get to see our loved ones again who died. And we will live for all eternity.
Sounds like a great existence to me.
