Deborah Taylor - The Rapture

The Rapture of the Church

Beloved,

We believe that the Rapture of the church could happen at any moment. We believe it is urgent that we witness to every soul that we meet.

We believe that at the end of this age, Christ will return in the air and take to heaven every person, living and dead, who has trusted Him as Savior.

We believe that we will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. 1. Thess. 4.17.

We believe that the Rapture will take place “in a twinkling of an eye”. 1 Cor. 15.52.

We believe that the dead will rise first and we who are alive and remain will be caught up together to meet the Lord in the air, and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

We believe that we will be given resurrection bodies free from death and destruction. 1 Cor. 15.52.

We believe the Rapture will take place before the Great Tribulation. Rev. 6.17.

We believe that Believers will be delivered from the wrath to come. 1 Thess. 1.10.

Whether you believe in the PRE-TRIB, MID-TRIB or POST-TRIB Rapture of the church isn't as important as BEING PREPARED TO MEET KING JESUS WHEN THE TRUMPET SOUNDS. THE POINT, BELOVED, IS THAT THE KING OF KINGS IS COMING SOON FOR A SPOTLESS BRIDE!

Ephesians 5.24-30 -Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. 29For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.

Revelation 22.17-And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
