Rapture of the Church

Rapture of the Church The Rapture of the Church, the most amazing event in human history. Millions of disappearing in an instant. "Great confusion and bewilderment, the conscience of the survivors. Many explanations for the disappearance of the missing will be entertained. Meanwhile, the church has been "trapped" in the air, before the Lord President of the Judges of the Christ "(2 Cor. 5:10). This is a ruling of the premiums on the basis of faithful works. There will be a moment of great joy for many when they hear the savior of the "Well done, thou good and faithful servant" (Mt 25.41). For some this is a moment of shame and regret (1 John 2:28). Many writers see John's "come here", as typical of the church caught in the Rapture with chapters 6-19 disclosure of the seven years of tribulation. From this moment onwards, the Church did not retu until we have Revelation 19:7, the church where they prepare for the "wedding of the Lamb" and their retu to John F. earth.According Walvoord, "The concept of the Rapture itself is derived from the Latin Vulgate version of 1 Thessalonians 4:17, where the expression" caught "is the Latin rapture. "According to Scripture, the saints living in the time of the Lord will lead to the Lord in the air. This is a glorious time of the meeting with our loved ones who are ahead of us, and best of all, as John declares: "You will see his face" (Revelation 22:4). No wonder Paul the Lord is described as a "blessed hope" (Titus 2:13). At the Rapture the Lord will be physically in the air for his saints, both the dead and the life (1 Thess. 4: 16-17). This will be seven years before the revelation, or the second phase of his coming. In the first stage in the kidnapping of the Lord comes for his church, while at the end of the tribulation he retus with his church. At this event: "Every eye will see him," even if Rapture will be "like a thief", and only the faithful will be him (1 John 3:1-3). At the Rapture the Lord will retu to the dead, and then translate the saints living on earth. Only those who are bo again with the blood of Christ, feels the "Shout", the church age and begin the day of the Lord. Our bodies are designed after the resurrection of the body of our Lord. Even if our resurrection bodies will be different levels of quality, there are disceible. According to Allan R. Killen, "Christ came into the body, in which he had suffered from a serious vacuum. His new work is "flesh and bones", and yet, if absolutely to recognize their qualities were wonderfully changed. I believe the new entity is not "flesh and blood", this is the nature of his mortal body. He, like the angels that he is neither married nor given in marriage (Matthew 22:29-30). This new organization is in 1st Cor. 15:35-50. "Paul, writing to the Corinthians about the resurrection of the event, explains:" But every man in his order: Christ first, then, that Christ in His coming, then comes the end "(1 Cor. 15:23 -- 24). John Phillips commented that "the first resurrection is in three phases, the phases of the Jewish harvest: (1) were the first fruits of the harvest and God, then (2) The crop was used, and (3), gleanings were collected a. The resurrection harvest will take place in enthusiasm, and then will be collected at various times during the period of great tribulation. "By premillennialism have different opinions about the kidnapping of the church. The five are being seen more frequently (1), the partial Rapture theory, (2) The Rapture midtribulation, (3) The Rapture posttribulation, (4) The Rapture pretribulation, and (5), the Pre-Wrath Rapture. There will be a brief look at each starting with the part-Rapture theory. (L) Partial Rapture theory. In this perspective, the problem is not the time, but the themes of the Rapture. Proponents of this view believe that the kidnapping of believers will be on the basis of a reward for his loyalty. (2) Midtribulation Rapture. The Rapture midtribulation theory seems to be a compromise between the pretribulation and posttribulation views. According to this view the seven years of tribulation is divided into two portions, one half the anger of the people, and the last half of the wrath of God. " The Rapture of the Church will be held in the middle of the tribulation period of three years and a half before the Second Advent. (3) Posttribulation Rapture. Most of those who hold this view believe that the Church in the tribulation of seven years and just before the Second Advent will be raptured immediately and retu to Earth with the Lord. Some posttribulationists view of the entire age of the current trial, although most of the literal interpretation of the tribulation is a representation of facts before the Second Advent. (4) Pretribulation Rapture. After pretribulation view of the Rapture, the church will be translated first week of the seventies is back with Daniel and the Lord of the earth according to Advent. Hand in hand with this view is the doctrine of imminency, which emphasizes that the Lord could retu at any time and without regard to sign. All indications are for Israel, and thus refer the revelation (Revelation 19:11-21) when he is with the saints at the end of the period of tribulation. (5) Pre-Wrath Rapture. After the pre-wrath of enthusiasm around the church is raptured three quarters of the way through the seventieth weeks between the great tribulation and the Day of the Lord, before the outpouring of the wrath of God, and above the soundboard of the seventh trumpet. This view was popular by Marvin Rosenthal, former managing director of Friends of Israel Gospel Ministry.The Rapture is spoken of by Paul in the Scriptures as a "secret". Paul says: "Behold, I Shew You a Mystery: Do not we all sleep, but must be changed in a moment in a flash, the last ace up its sleeve for the trumpet shall sound, and fall dead, incorruptible, and we shall be changed "(1 Cor. 15:51-52). This was something that was unknown to the Old Testament saints. The general doctrine of resurrection is a fact well known, both in OT and NT. The fact that the saints will be alive at the Second Advent is also a popular doctrine. But, as Walvoord states: "The secret is adding the exact revelation of the fact that the translation without dying in connection with the coming of the Lord." According to Donald W. Burdick, "NT concept of" mystery "... [is] a divine truth, once hidden but now revealed that men supeaturally fully understood only by individuals saved by the lighting of the Holy Spirit. "Many students of the word, or the negligence of the New Testament doctrine of the abduction of saints.Finally, a word about the date. Jesus told his disciples: "But on the day and now knows no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only" (Matthew 24:36). David Allen Lewis says: "The Rapture is an escape, but the lesson is not to escape." We are not able to "escape" mentality and continue to be vigilant in our efforts to give this important truth. We must recognize the urgency of the moment that we live, and make the most of every opportunity God sends our way. Paul says: "teach us that the refusal to ungodliness and worldly desires, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in this world, looking for hope, which has blessed and glorious, by the great God and Jesus Christ our Savior" (Titus 2:12-13).
