  Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 4:17

  Denomination: Baptist

Summary: Our struggles may be lasting, but not everlasting. Jesus is coming soon. Are you ready? Saints and Sinners must face this question. Let’s examine it together!

Introduction

You will hear it every time, "The word rapture is not in the Bible" and to tell you the truth, it isn’t!

However, this doesn’t mean it is an unscriptural term or that we shouldn’t be using it. What we do find in scripture is this, "Caught up." and this is where we get the term "Rapture."

My proposal for today is, as far as the "Rapture"is concerned, are you ready? Let’s examine the reason why we all should.

Main Division

I. Because Of It’s Suddenness (I Thess 5:1-2)

II. Because Of The Subjects (I Thess 4:13-15)

III. Because Of The Situation (I Thess 5:3-9)

Conclusion: Are you ready?
