The Resurrection or ‘Rapture’

 

The Resurrection              

This painting is not part of the Book of Revelation formally, however it is the ‘Hope of the Church’;  The Resurrection.   (or ‘Rapture’)  ‘To wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come’.  1 Thessalonians 1:9-10.

 

Of course we cannot be dogmatic, but looking at the Scriptures we can be hopeful that there will be a Pre-Tribulation Resurrection of Believers.  John 21:34-37 says ‘But take heed to yourselves, lest haply your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, (partying) and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day come on you suddenly as a snare; for so shall it come upon all them that dwell on the face of all the earth.  But watch ye at every season, making supplication, that ye may prevail to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.’

Lastly, the fact that there is a Resurrection is shown in I Thessalonians 4:16-18:

‘For the Lord himself will come with a rousing cry, with a shout from a ruling angel and God’s shofar.  Those who died united with the Messiah will rise first, then we who are alive will go up with them into the clouds to meet the lord in the air.  Thus we will always be with him, so encourage each other with these words.’
