And it is involved with the opening of seals, and trumpet blasts, and plagues that we haven't had a chance to go through yet in our Revelation class. 'He, Christ will be victorious over His enemies and will reign on the earth for 1,000 years with His saints, the church.' All right? Now this site quotes and mentions the tribulation which we know is a time biblically from the book of Revelation that is a time of great distress upon the earth. 'Then second, after a period of seven years of tribulation on earth, Christ will return to the earth with His church, the saints who were raptured.' Then He quotes other scriptures, some of which I'm going to talk about again later to just show what it does mean. Yeah it would be something of course, that would be evident but it's secret, remember. Family's having dinner around the table, and maybe one person suddenly disappears. People are in a meeting and suddenly three people are gone from that meeting. Somebody's driving down the road, all of a sudden that truck is driverless. I mean can you imagine if this is true, people being raptured quickly, suddenly, secretly. The effect of this removal in the absence of multitudes of people will, of course, be evident on the earth.” Well, I guess so. But continuing on here, it says, 'In this view, the rapture, which is the transformation and the catching up of all Christians, dead or alive, to meet Christ in the air will be secret, for it will be unknown to the world of unbelievers at the time that it happens. Now we're going to go through 1 Thessalonians 4, what people use to talk about the rapture, and explain what it does mean. First, He will come for believers, both living and dead, in what is called ‘the rapture.’” And then it quotes from 1 Thessalonians 4 to support that. Here's a quote, “The second coming of Jesus Christ will be in two phases. I went to a leading website of an evangelical ministry and let me read just a few comments from that to help kind of set the stage for what we're talking about. So let's get a bit of a definition here as to what exactly the rapture might be. Have you ever heard of the rapture teaching? It's one that is commonly held by a lot of evangelical Christians today who very sincerely believe in a secret rapture of the saints before the Biblical last days. Now one such teaching that people have that hides this truth is what is called the rapture or the secret rapture as some will call it. But like a lot of other truth, it's hidden by false teaching. And so the question is, are you prepared for that? What I've just said is a great truth of the Bible. Because here's the real kicker, God has a future for you in His coming Kingdom. Your purpose, should you accept, is to assist Christ in restoring this earth to what was intended from the beginning of time. You have a purpose to prepare to be with Jesus Christ on this earth. Will Christians be secretly raptured away and spared this calamity? What does the Bible say?
