Nature of the Rapture!
The most anticipated event in the history of the Church and among Christians is the Rapture of the Church: An event that is set by God to change the course of history for mankind. According to the Bible, the Rapture is the catching away of all true Christian believers to meet the Lord Jesus Christ in the air. It is an unprecedented event that will defy human logic, philosophy, understanding and science. This defiance will affect the nature of science itself because man physical body will change and be transformed to a celestial body that will stay afloat in the cloud in order to meet the Lord in the air. How true is the Rapture and has it ever occur before? Or is there evidence that it can even happen at all. Off course, the rapture is definitely true because Bible records confirmed it. The first recorded incidence of the Rapture was Enoch- He lived seven generations from Adam. Similarly, Elijah was also physical taken up to Heaven in a chariot of fire. More so, Jesus Christ was taken to heaven; his assumption was witnessed by all his Apostles and Disciples. From these instances, it is necessary to state that the Rapture is real and is much to be desired- for the Bible describes it as GLORIOUS! The Rapture will be triggered with the trump of God from Heaven, and its sound will be heard by only true Christians and believers. It will happen unexpectedly, and it will throw the whole world into chaos and confusion because millions of people will seemingly disappear from the face of the earth. To the believers, the Rapture is victory because death is swallowed up in victory; to the unbelievers it is regret and disappointment!
