“To those who eagerly wait for him
he will appear a second time,
apart from sin, for salvation.”
Hebrews 9:28

An ominous warning here. Not everyone is taken in the Rapture, as is gleaned from the parable of the five wise and the five foolish virgins (Matthew 25:1-10). The point is this: he’s coming for those who are eagerly watching for him. Many Bible prophecy believers are watching and wondering who the Antichrist might be. Jesus is coming for those who are eagerly waiting for HIM, not for the Antichrist.

As Christians we are not told to look for the Tribulation, or for the Antichrist, but for “His Son from heaven who has delivered us from the wrath to come.” 1st Thessalonians 1:10

What will the Rapture look like?

As it happened to Jesus, so will it happen to us. Those who have been conformed to his death, will also be conformed to his resurrection. Jesus is the pattern. We were shown a picture of the Rapture at the Rapture of Jesus himself. Are you surprised to hear that Jesus was Raptured?

“And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven
as he went up, behold, two men stood by them
in white apparel, who also said, ‘Men of Galilee,
why do you stand gazing up into heaven?
This same Jesus, who was taken up from you
into heaven, will so come in like manner
as you saw him go into heaven.”’
Acts 1:10-11

In like manner, born-again believers are promised to be “taken up from them into heaven.”

“Then we who are alive and remain
shall be caught up together with them in the clouds
to meet the Lord in the air…”
1st Thessalonians 4:17

Be watching. For HIM.
