"When the Lord returns, we who are alive and remain on the earth, will be
CAUGHT UP IN THE CLOUDS, to meet the Lord in the air!"
Non believer's think of Christianity as "pie in the sky". The One Truth Today is beyond their comprehension. The Word of God tells us that the Lord will return to earth. It also tells us that "we who are alive and remain on earth will be CAUGHT UP IN THE CLOUDS, to meet the Lord in the air". That is not pie in the sky but the Truth of the Word of God. The Rapture is one thing that the non believer will not understand until it is explained by the Spirit of the Lord. Our faith is what assures us of His Word. Of course, non believer's do not believe in hell either, but they will be judged and and if they have rejected the Lord they will be separated from Him forever! Heaven or hell, your choice and your consequence!
We know that there will be Christians remaining on the earth at the time of the Second Coming of the Lord. We know that if we are one of them we will be caught up in the air to meet Him.
Our earthly bodies will be left behind, just as all those who have gone before us. Our soul and our heavenly body will ascend to join with the other saints and spirits who preceded us and we will all be with Jesus Christ the Lord God for eternity. It is a lot for the human mind to digest and comprehend, but the Holy Spirit will guide and direct us in this truth. We look forward to being CAUGHT UP IN THE CLOUDS!
It is comforting to know that we do not have to be worried for those who have gone on before us and no one needs to grieve for us as we escape this world. This is the blessed hope of being a believer in Jesus Christ. He will save us from death and give us new and eternal life. Just as He rose again, we will do the same thing. We will never know the precise moment, as no man knows the hour or the time of His return. I do know that because of our faith and belief in the Lord that we will be Saved. It may be before the Rapture, but it is exciting to think about the possibility of being CAUGHT UP IN THE CLOUDS, to meet the Lord in the air!
