The Secret Rapture

Description

[edit] To clear any misunderstanding. The stamp is only focusing in: if Christ coming will be secret or not. Nothing less and nothing more ^^

What is the SECRET rapture?: Christ will return secretly to rapture away His church. The saved (including babies in their mother’s womb) will just suddenly disappear leaving the rest of the people confused and scared. No one will see Him coming. [It touches other subjects, but in the only idea I’m focusing is in the secret disappearance]

What is the Rapture?: The act of meeting Christ in the air. The word doesn't appear in the bible but is used to describe the ‘be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air’ of 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18. (I personally don't call it rapture to avoid confusion, where I live if you say rapture people automatically think in the secret rapture)

They’re two different things. I’m talking about the secret rapture, not the rapture.

YES, When God comes to get the saved, they will be caught in the air (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18, 1 Cor. 15:51-52). NO, it won’t be in secret.

I’ll say it again, this stamp is only focusing in the SECRET part of the secret rapture belief.

My point is not to tell you if Christ Coming is divided in one, two, three, or even hundreds of stages. I’m only saying (it doesn’t matter how many times you believe He’ll come) that it won’t be a secret.




:bulletred: They say: He will secretly rapture away the church
:bulletblue: The Word of God says:


Jesus coming will be:

---Visible. (Mark 13:26, Luke 21:27, Acts 1:9-11, 1 Timothy 6:14, 1 Peter 5:4)

“Behold, he cometh with clouds; and EVERY EYE shall see HIM, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.” ~ Revelation 1:7

“And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.”~Matthew 24:30

“For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.” Matthew 24:27

If heaven doesn't need a sun or a moon because God's glory is 'shiny' enough (Revelation 21:23), do you think people won't notice the sudden and jaw-dropping change in the illumination? ;)

Only the elect will see him? No! EVERY EYE will see Him!

---Audible (Matthew 24:31, 1 Corinthians 15:52)

“For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first” ~1 Thessalonians 4:16

---Physically Real. (Luke 24:36-43,50-51)

“Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.”~ Acts 1:11

Lets sum it up! He comes with power and great glory, like the lighting that cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west, with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God.

Yes we will be caught in the air (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18, 1 Cor. 15:51-52) but: It’ll be bright, it’ll be loud and NO ONE will miss it.

Another hoax is all the predictions concerning Jesus’ second coming. Do not be deceived! Jesus says:

“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven,[a] but My Father only.” ~ Matthew 24:36

God bless! :)
