The Rapture is Coming

For many Christian believers, anticipating the Rapture is like going to the biggest prom dance in the universe with the best looking guy or gal. Ahh, it's like (pardon the pun) pure heaven. Now people really need to be prepared for this momentous event for this is the moment when Jesus comes back to Earth and people just suddenly disappear. You see, Jesus is supposedly to remove from the earth all people who are spiritually ready – along with raising all of the long dead who believed in Him.

"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: 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. Wherefore comfort one another with these words"
(1 Thes 4:16-18).

"Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality"
(1 Corinthians 15:51-53).

Now that is something worth seeing.

My view of the Rapture is just a little different. Jesus will not be coming back, but a hugely momentous event will occur – one that will change the future beyond comprehension. Where there once was despair – there will be hope, where there once was darkness – there will be light, where there once was crookedness and corruption – there will be honesty and compassion, where there once was divisiveness and war – there will be unity and peace.

This date is set in stone and unlike previous Christian Rapture dates which always seem to get postponed, this Rapture will come to fruition.

When is this history changing mega-event? January 20th, 2009. George Bush leaves office and a Democrat replaces him. Mark it down.
