The Rapture of The Church!
Gods’ revelation to the early Church concerning the rapture was revealing especially to the early Christians. To them, it was a mystery that has been hidden from the foundation of the earth but revealed in their time. The Old Testament was completely silent concerning the rapture of the Church: may be because the rapture concerns the Church age which was also a mystery that was only revealed by Christ and the Apostles. The first mention of the rapture was by Jesus in John 14 v 1-3. In these verses, Christ talks about His return to take the saints both living and dead to Heaven. More so, Apostle Paul gave a chilling insight and description of the rapture in I Corinthians 15 v 51-52 and I Thessalonians 4 v 15-17. These verses describe the rapture as a mystery kept for the purpose of comforting the saints and the believers in their service to God. More importantly, the rapture is the end of the Church age and it will usher the world into deception, lies, wickedness, cruelty and lawlessness which will be engineered by the devil himself and put into work by the man of sin (Antichrist). Be prepared because the rapture can take place at any moment!
