THE SECOND COMINGSome questions you might be asking if you miss the first phase of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ to the earth, calledTHE RAPTURE! WHAT IS THE RAPTURE?This is when Jesus Christ comes for His saints, those who have by faith completely trusted the eternity of their soul to His saving power with nothing else added.“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.”(I Thessalonians 4:1617) WILL YOU BE LEFT BEHIND?Those left behind will cry out for help and comfort. Questions will rise in every heart. Where did the “Christians” go? One man, Satan's soulincarnate, the antichrist, will have all the answers.“Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believe not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” (II Thessalonians 2:912) THE GREAT TRIBULATIONPeace will reign for 3½ years. Then, in this time The Great Tribulation in Rev. 7:14, all of God's judgment will be meted out on this world as Satan's emissaries, the Beast, the antichrist, and the False Prophet wreak havoc on mankind.Revelation 16 records 7 great judgments poured out on a Godforsaking world and its Satanic leaders! Putrifying painful sores, seas of deadmen's blood, rivers filled with blood, and the stench of dying aquatic life will plague man and beast. The sun will scorch the flesh of blashpemous man, and then disappear into the blackness of full darkness, as men gnaw their tongues for pain. The Euphrates River is dried up and God sends great earthquakes, tremendous thrunderings, and lightnings, as huge hail stones pound the remnant of earth's inhabitants. “It is done”, thunders from heaven as God's wrath is satisfied. THE SECOND COMINGAnd then, the second phase of Christ's Second Coming transpires!“The coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.” (II Thessalonians 3:13b) He comes and defeats the armies of the antichrist. The Lord Jesus will then reign for 1000 years! You say, “I just can't believe it. I've so many question.” Let's allow God's Word to answer them for you. WHEN WILL THE RAPTURE TAKE PLACE?
