The Bible tells us that, at a future date in time, the Lord Christ Jesus will come down from heaven with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel, with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ (Christians who have fallen asleep in death) will rise from the grave. The Bible also tells us that Christians who are alive at that
time, will together, with them, be caught up to meet the Lord in the air and that all of this will take place in a moment in time, (in the time it takes for an eye to blink, or twinkle.) This is known as the rapture of the Christian Church; a time when Christians who have fallen asleep in death will be resurrected from the grave in imperishable bodies that will never more grow old, get sick or die (glorified bodies.) It is also when Christians, who are alive at that time, will be changed; will likewise receive imperishable, glorified, bodies that will never more grow old, get sick or die. 1 Together, they will be taken to heaven to be with the Lord.
Those left upon the earth, however, will go through a time of great tribulation; a time when God pours out His wrath upon the earth against wickedness.
I want to meet you again Scotty
