Before Jesus' death and resurrection, nobody
knew about the Body of Christ. That wasn't
God's plan, but it was His plan to offered the
Kingdom to Israel.
Out of the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus, by
purchasing His own blood, God has chosen
to produce a remarkable organism (not an
organization) called the Body of Christ.

In Ephesians Chapter 3, he says this is
revealed to them, "That the Gentiles should
be fellow heirs, and of the same body, and
partakers of his promis in Christ by the
gospel," Ephesians 3:5-6
Jews and Gentiles are members of the same
body in this age. That wasn't the case before.

The age in which we live today is called the
Day of the Church, or the Day of Grace.
God is taking a group of people out of the
world for His Name, and putting them into
another called the Body of Christ.
Ephesians Chapter 1, Paul talks about "the
church, Which is his body, the fullness of
him that filleth all in all" Ephesians 1:22-23

It is important than we have the proper
understanding of the Rapture. We will learn
to appreciate it not simply as an escape,
delivering us from the cares of life, but as a
turning point in History!
The Rapture will end the Church Age.

The previous scripture are some of the most
remarkable words in the New Testament.
They tell of an amazing future event that will
take place in the lives of Christians, which is
the Rapture of the Church.
Now these are times in which the doctrine of
the Rapture has come under some discussion.
But we need to remember what it's all about,
and be aware that there are all kinds of insed-
eous pressures being put upon the Church.

Paul wrote back, "But I would not have you
to be ignorant, brethern, concerning them
who are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as
others who have no hope.
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose
again, even so them also who sleep in Jesus
will God bring with him.
For this we say unto you by the word of the
Lord, that we who are alive and remain unto
the coming of the Lord shall not precede them
who are asleep.
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 who 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.
Wherefore, comfort one another with these
words," 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

In the early days of the Church, the people
at Thessalonica started wondering about the
future. Some of the Christians had died and
they had some questions. They wrote to Paul
and said,
"We'd like to know about the future. How do
those who have already died share in this
event you've told us about, called the return
of Christ?"
