THE RAPTURE IS DIFFERENT FROM THE SECOND COMING.

God bless you for taking your time to study.

THE RAPTURE IS DIFFERENT FROM THE SECOND COMING.

TEXT: 1 CORINTHIANS 15:51-58 
 
SUNDAY AUGUST 7th

Key verse: 1 Thessalonians 4:17. “Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord”.
The Rapture is not the same as the second coming of Christ. At the Rapture, Christ will appear in the air. He will not be visible to the inhabitants of the earth. His mission then will be to resurrect all the dead saints, who, along with the living believers, will put on immortality and shall be caught up to be with the Lord. This event will take place in the twinkling of an “eye” before the great and terrible day of the Lord when the wrath of God will be poured down from His cup of indignation without mixture an event fitly called the great tribulation.
The second advent will not take place until after the great tribulation. The time of the rapture is unknown, even by the angels (Matthew 24:36). The rapture will be heralded by the voice of the archangel and the blowing of the trumpets signaling the end of the church age.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
16 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: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Any moment from now, the trumpet shall sound and He that shall come will come and will not tarry. Christ is certainly coming back again. He assured the church of the certainty of His coming (John 14:1-3). Angels proclaimed it. Apostles and saints throughout the ages preached it. All the signs of His coming are daily being fulfilled. It is now time to get ready for Christ coming.
 
Thought for the day: All the signs for His coming are fulfilled. 

Song for the day: Do you know there is another fellowship in Heaven?

Bible reading for the day: 
Psalms 79-82; Romans 8:1-18

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING  _BY_ *PASTOR PAUL RIKA*  Int'l Director        (Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1 , 2018  _TOPIC:_    *YOU WILL SUCCEED AS CHRIST DID BY PRAYER*           TEXT: John 16: 23-24. KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1. When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of pr...
