The Blessed Hope: A Closer Look Into the Rapture
by Brian Price 11/8/05
"13:32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. 13:33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is." - Mark 13:32-33
A day in which no one knows the day nor the hour could only be a day of great expectation. Yet it is a day in which many will be caught off guard. What day could this be? It is none other than the Rapture of the saints. Just as an expecting mother does not know the day nor the hour of the birth of her child, so will Christ come upon us.
The rapture is a very unique event yet to be played out in the whole history of mankind, in which God actually rescues his people (the Christians) before his wrath is poured out upon mankind. In fact, it could very well be the second most important event in all of human history! The first most important event is the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is so astronomically important that it simply cannot be true! Or is it true?
Let's keep some things in mind before going over this issue:
1) If the rapture is true, then not even Jesus Christ himself knows when the day or the hour is!
2) If the rapture is true, then there must be some examples in the past which we can look at.
3) If there really is a rapture, then only very few people will actually be ready!
4) And finally, if there really is a rapture, then the forces of evil surely must know about it.
