About the Rapture.

The Rapture

     In the first blog we spoke about two events the rapture and the second coming of Jesus Christ.  The signs that we will talk about will take place before the second coming of Christ.  The rapture is an event that will happen before or at the start of the tribulation period.  Some people do believe this event will take place half way through the tribulation period and other believe near the end of the tribulation period just before the second coming of Christ. In this blog we will talk about it happening before the tribulation period begins.

     It has been said that the rapture is an event, in which millions of Christians around the world will disappear in the blink of an eye.  This event is where Jesus will come back to take home his church. The people who will be taken up at this time are those who believe that Jesus is the only way to get to heaven.  These people are called born again believers or Christians.  They just don't know Jesus but they have a relationship with him.  The best verse that describes this way of thinking is; John 3:16 God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life. (Jeremiah, Study Bible, p. 1445)  Once this event takes place the world as we know it today will go into total chaos.  There will be many people who will want to know what happened to their loved ones and why did they disappear. 

Many people believe this event will mark the beginning of the tribulation period which will last seven years. The pictures we have added is an idea of what the event will look like at the time it happens. This ends the second blog and we will pick up with the signs of the end times in the next blog.
