My Shortest Blog EVER!!

It happens all the time!

Kym, you are a miserable person, that is why you always talk about the Rapture

or how about,

Kym, the world has been like this for years! Stop just stop!!

or how about,

Kym, you have no kids, not married, not dating, of course, that is all you talk about.

Kym the gig is up...we all know about you...Get a life

Oh, they get worse but I will spare you the details!!

I will await the crown, I know for a fact I will get. I can't guarantee the others but this one...

my crown awaits...my crown awaits...my crown awaits!!

At least I will have one to cast at the feet of Jesus.

2 Timothy 4:8

in the future there is reserved for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day; and not only to me but also to all who have loved His appearing.

This will be a short blog for a reason.

There is a rapture. One that is on the horizon.

I will give four instances in the bible of a rapture. I also want you to know that I believe in a pre-tribulation rapture. What that means is Christ, WILL come for His church before the "time of Jacob's trouble", i.e the Tribulation comes on the earth. That period of time will last for seven years.

The Rapture and the Second Coming are two very distinct things.

The rapture seems like an eerie folk tale full of dead people rising from the dead and people who were once walking the planet getting zapped away where no one sees or hears anything...but poof...they are gone

...oh but it's happened before!

Enoch

Genesis 5:24
Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.

Philip

Acts 8:39-40
When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away; and the eunuch no longer saw him, but went on his way rejoicing. But Philip found himself at Azotus, and as he passed through he kept preaching the gospel to all the cities, until he came to Caesarea.

John

Revelation 4:1-2
After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven, and the first voice which I had heard, like the sound of a trumpet speaking with me, said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after these things.” Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne was standing in heaven, and someone was sitting on the throne.
