What is the rapture of the church according to the scriptures?

Many will think that with the term “rapture” it means robbery or theft from the church, which means something bad and not belonging to God. Well, in this article we will explain the true meaning of it, which is nothing more than, quite the opposite, Yes! As you read it, the rapture of the church means the day that our creator comes to judge the dead first and then the living so that he can take them to enjoy his glory.

The rapture of the church

The rapture of the church , has as direction the day that God comes down from heaven and makes the selection of those who will share with him in the kingdom and those who will be banished from his mercy and glory. First of all, he will begin with each and every one of those who have died, the blessed ones who will go with him are assigned new sanctified and glorified bodies worthy of belonging in the house of God.

Then, he will judge those who are alive, and those who deserve the blessing of sharing his glory with him, will also be given new bodies and will ascend with the others to the kingdom of heaven.

This term of rapture means, elevating to heaven those who were always faithful believers of the church and of all the commandments that God taught us, those people who repent of their sins in time and fear their creator will also ascend to heaven.

In short, God will cause us to rise in body and spirit, just as he did with his son. So that later he can clean up the whole world and free it from so much evil and pain.

The word “rapture” is not currently found in the bible or in any of its scriptures, it is simply a term used by church followers to express the day that God and his son come down to earth to cleanse the world. earthly world.

Who will be part of the rapture?

God made us in his image and likeness, gave us life and the opportunity to have free will in all our actions, and with a very important mission to fulfill in this world. Just as he did with his angels from heaven, he gave authority and a special power to each one, but all with the purpose of caring for humanity.

It gave us the joy of knowing what life on earth would be like, and how beautiful all its creations can be, as are our loved ones, nature, animals, its landscapes full of peace and its ways of expressing ourselves all over the world. love with which he made us.

Since we are children we are innocent beings without sins and with a pure soul, our parents must teach us and speak to us about the glory of God, since from the beginning we are curious about where we come from. Within these teachings, the first step our parents should take is to take us to church and receive the peace and blessing of baptism, which frees us from original sin.

After this we begin to grow and become older children with a more advanced reasoning capacity, where we must (being guided by our relatives) not fall into attitudes that do not please God. Knowing his commandments that teaches us what is good and what is bad.

In our process of adolescence we must avoid falling into temptations or attitudes that our creator does not like, free ourselves from feelings such as envy and selfishness towards other people that, on many occasions, we tend to fall into without even realizing it.

Continue with communion and confirmation of faith in God through the church, and if later we find our companion in life or that person we love, bless the union through God and the church.

God will present us with a series of situations that will make us make decisions quickly and unexpectedly and that is where he puts us through tests which we must overcome and know what action to take. God sent his son to rid us of our sins, however, on the day our final judgment arrives, he will know everything we did in life and if it will be worth enjoying his eternal glory in heaven with him.

Those people who, despite being sinners, realize and recognize their mistakes, asking God for forgiveness, will also go up to heaven, those people who in the path of their lives dedicated themselves to doing good without looking at who, pure souls and noble heart willing to give up her life for the good of others.

Faithful to the church, with humble hearts, who preach and express the glory of God to others, those who help the poor and helpless, those who love immensely, human beings who are sensitive and grateful to the life that the creator gives them. it gave.

Many of us know that today not everyone has God in their hearts, they think they are strong and powerful in front of others, they are not afraid of God, others simply do not believe that the creator exists.

They are responsible for abusing their power or intelligence to humiliate and make others feel bad, laughing and enjoying each other’s shadows and sadness, committing an infinity of sins ranging from envy to lust.

These types of people are those who believe they are gods on earth, and not only that, but they are in charge of continuing to spread their evil in the world, educating other people to see them as leaders since they have power and do what they want with others. These will not participate in the  rapture of the church.

This story is very similar to the rebellion of angels who betrayed God in heaven, and for which they were banished from that holy place, as is the most recognized of them “Lucifer” the god of evil and lies. This and other angels are loose on earth tempting people to fall into temptations and sins that make God angry.

These people are weak in heart and mind and easily fall for their deceptions.

The people who will ascend to the kingdom of heaven will be those who have always been in charge of giving love to their neighbor, noble of soul, thought and heart, of doing good in their society, and of repenting before God of their sins, trying to be better. people every day. These people when the day of final judgment arrives, whether they are alive or dead, they will go up to eternally enjoy the grace of God in paradise.

When will the rapture of the church take place?

Well, for sure, there is no date, time or place when the rapture of the church will happen , what is certain is that many followers of Christ have tried to decipher the Bible and the scriptures to know when this event will happen.

Many people say that God our creator must be about to come down from heaven, since today the world has been contaminated with much evil, envy and pain among human beings, instead of being and treating us as brothers that we are, there are many who continue to harm others, without fear of God.

At present, there is a lot of violence between human beings, murders and many terrible things, as well as humans hurting, killing and violating defenseless animals that are also God’s creation.

Harming nature and others. There are also many new religions, with gods that do not exist, with negative rituals full of evil, spells and black magic, that the only thing they do is annoy God with all his bad intentions.

Others say that the rapture of the church will not come yet, because God still has many things and lessons to teach us and from which we must learn in the best way.

The most important thing is that we must be aware of how sinful we are, of the evils we have done, because what we are sure of is that no one on earth is perfect, that we are all sinners and that death is what will or will not lead to the happiness of our creator.

Repent of everything that we do not like about our works, rectify and be better people, in this way we will be ready for when God decides to come to judge us.

The scriptures also talk about the end of the church:

(Matthew 24:30)

“Answering the disciples, he said to them: Do you see all this? Truly I tell you, there will not be a stone left on a stone here, that it will not be knocked down.”

“And while he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him apart, saying, Tell us, when will these things be, and what sign will there be of your coming, and of the end of the age? Jesus said to them: Let no one deceive you, because many will come in my name, saying: I am the Christ, and they will deceive many.»

«They will hear of wars and they will exist, it is necessary that all this happens, but it is not yet the end, all this will be the beginning of sorrows, many will stumble, and they will deliver one another, and they will hate one another, false prophets will arise and they will deceive many, and because wickedness has multiplied, the love of many will grow cold, but whoever perseveres and believes in me to the end will be saved.” 

(Zechariah 14:4)

“And the Mount of Olives will split in the middle, to the east and to the west, making a very large valley; and half the mountain will move to the north, and the other half to the south.” 

(1 Corinthians 15:51-54)

“Behold, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet, because the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be transformed for good and eternal joy.”

“For this corruptible must put on incorruption and peace, and this mortal must put on immortality. And when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then the word that is written will be fulfilled: Death is swallowed up in victory.”

(1 John 3:3)

“And everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself, just as he is pure and will ascend to heaven.”
