God’s Next Move

With reference of course to God’s Instruction Book-the Holy Scriptures; the Next Event in God’s program is the Rapture-as it is commonly referred to. What will be the scenario of this event? We can refer to 1Thessalonians 4:16-17 for the vivid details of this event. It is described in here as “meeting in the air” of the long been dead in Christ and the living with Jesus Christ in the clouds. If you are not one of these guys; you will be astonished of the time when one of your friends, enemies, workmates and even love ones just disappear at the blink of an eye. And then, without much ado, the world worst ever crisis will set in.

The big question here is; who are these people that shall meet the Lord in the air? What are their qualifications? What are the criteria considered to become one of them? How to become one of them? Who set the criteria? Where to find these criteria? Are they just got lucky that Jesus pick them randomly from billions of people the world over?

The answers of these life-giving questions are to be found in the Holy Book and more specifically in the Epistles of Saint Paul. This coming event is nothing to be afraid of if you are IN the KNOW. This is a wonderful event and experience for believers. Thanks to Saint Paul and his distinctive message brought to the Gentile world.

Another very relevant question is when this event will happen? Well; every passing day gets us closer to this meeting in the air. Even in the time of Saint Paul; he said that this time will come very soon; he believed it will happen even within his lifetime ( 2 Thes. 2:1-2 ).
