WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN JESUS COMES?

In almost every book of the bible we find the second coming of Jesus mentioned. In the Old Testament it is mentioned twenty times more than His first coming. In the New Testament 318 times -- One out of every 25 verses -- 50 times in the 14 books of Paul. Acts 1:11 - This same Jesus -- 1 Th. 4:16 - For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven. -- 1 Jn. 2:28 - Have confidence and not be ashamed. 2 Cor. 11:26 - Lord’s Supper. Heb. 9:27-28 - As sure as we are going to die. Rev. 22:7,12,20 - Behold I come quickly; Behold I come quickly; Surely, I come quickly.

1 Thess. 4:16 - For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God. In Old Testament trumpets were used to call God’s people to assemble. God led the Children of Israel by a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire at night. The cloud would move the trumpet would sound and God’s people would follow. Now in the New Testament - We are not led by a cloud but by the Holy Spirit. NOTE - The Spirit moves or The Holy Spirit is taken out. (2 Thess. 2:7) The trumpet sounds and God’s Children go home. The Holy Spirit age is over. The Grace age is over. The Church age is over. The Holy Spirit came at Pentecost and started the Grace age and when He leaves it will end. And the dead in Christ shall rise first. The shout will be so loud it will wake the dead. 1 Cor. 15: 50-58 - Brothers and sisters, flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God. In a moment and twinkling of an eye the trumpet shall sound and those who have died will be raised first to live forever and we who are living will also be changed. For our earthy bodies must be changed into bodies that will never die; our mortal bodies must be changed into immortal bodies. Then, when our bodies have been changed into bodies that will never die, this Scripture will be fulfilled: Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is your sting? O grave, where is your victory? The sting of death is sin and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be unto God which gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, for you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. THIS OLD TEMPORAL EARTHLY BODY WILL BE CHANGED INTO A NEW ETERNAL BODY. Phil. 3:21 - Our body will be changed like unto the body of Jesus. 1 John 3:2 - We shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. JUST THINK - We will have a new body that can walk, talk, hear, feel, laugh, and fellowship with one another. There will be no more pain, no more sorrow or heartache, no more anxiety, stress or worry, no more Dementia, Alzheimer. All will be joy, peace and happiness.

V.17 - Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up (Raptured) together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so shall we forever be with the Lord. The return of Jesus Christ at the rapture will be the most exciting event of our lives. Think of the thrill of being raptured. We all like thrill rides. Bungie jumping, Sling Shot, Drop Zone, Roller Coasters. The most exciting experience of your life is ahead of you. Think what it will be like to go flying through the clouds, past the moon and stars, through the milky way without an astronaut suit on. To stop and meet the Lord somewhere in the air. WHAT A REUNION - Caught up together…

So shall we forever be with the Lord. Will we recognize one another? (1 Cor.13:12) Absolutely. Will we be able to touch and hug each other? Yes Sir. There is going to be a meeting in the air: There is going to be a meeting in the air; In the sweet sweet bye and bye, I am going to meet you, meet you over there; In that home beyond the sky. Such singing you will hear—never heard by mortal ear, Twill be glorious I do declare and God’s own son will be the leading one at the meeting in the air. Yes, Theres’ going to be a great reunion in the clouds. It's going to be awesome! Seeing family and friends and people from our past. People who have moved out of our lives, but never moved out of our hearts. V. 18 - Therefore comfort other another with these words.
