In Paul's words,
"Behold, I show you a mystery: We shall
not all sleep, but we shall all be changed in
a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the
last trump; for the trumpet shall sound, and
the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and
we shall be changed,"
1 Corinthians 15:51-52
He is telling us that there is a generation of
Christians that will not experience physical
death, but will be caught up in an instant to
be with Jesus. We expect to be that generation.
People don't know the answer to the future.
They don't know what they will be or where
they will be a thousand years from now.
Many theories have been made up to give the
people the answer, but the only real answer
that's solid, that we can depend on no matter
what, is the one that comes from the Word of
God.

After being taken to heaven in the Rapture,
we are given a quick preparation, and fitting
of the uniform, so that we can participate in
the reconquering of the earth when it is taken
back by the Lord from the hands of the Devil.
We are a part of that army and the judges of
the world.
What a future God has planned for us. We
will be rulers with Jesus and masters of the
universe!

The army returning with Jesus got to Heaven
in the Rapture. It brought these christians to
heaven and they are preparing to participate
in the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.
Saints by the millions are there. During the
seven years called the Tribulation on earth,
these saints [the dead in Christ will rise first,
then those alive will be caught up in the air
to meet the Lord, called the Rapture] are
getting ready for the conquest of the world.

A saint isn't someone who has been hand
picked because of some qualification and
voted on.
A saint is someone who has received the
righteousness of Jesus Christ. They are the
ones who come back with Him. They are
already in heaven through death or caught
up in the Rapture.
They have been to the Marriage Supper of
the Lamb. They have stood before the
Judgment Seat of Christ.
Now they [the church] returns with Jesus
to deliver the nation of Israel from the Anti-
christ.

"He was clothed with a vesture dipped in
blood; and his name is called The Word of
God."
The Word of God that we hold in our hands
stands for Jesus and is who that Person will
be. But He comes with an army.
"And the armies that were in heaven followed
him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen,
white and clean."

Forget the idea that we are going to Heaven
and stand comfortably beside a harmless
creature like the one who walked the shores
of Galilee long ago.
We are talking of Christ in His glory. Of Christ
in His intense power. Revelation 19:11-16 is
a description of Jesus Christ's return in power
and great glory!

One of the greatest description in the Bible
is the vision that John was shown of the
return of Jesus Christ.
"And I saw heaven opened and, behold, a
white horse; and he that sat upon him was
called Faithful and True, and in righteousness
he doth judge and make war. His eyes were
like a flame of fire, and on his head were crowns;
and he had a name written, that no man knew,
but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture
dipped in blood; and his name is called The Word
of God.
And the armies that were in heaven followed him
upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white
and clean. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp
sword, that with it he should smite the nations,
and he shall rule them with a rod of iron; and he
treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath
of Almighty God. And he hath on his vesture and
on his thigh a name written, King of Kings, and
Lord of Lords," Revelation 19:11-16

It is salvation with a different outcome from
the salvation that we get as members of the
Body of Christ [the church].
When we accept Christ as personal Savior,
we are given everlasting life in Heaven, and
the universe belongs to us. When we accept
the Gospel of the Kingdom, we are given
everlasting life, but we become an heir of this
world.
That's the difference between the Gospel of the
Kingdom and the Gospel of the Grace of God.

The Rapture will take the Gospel of the Grace
of God from the world and will restore the
message of the Gospel of the Kingdom.

"And this gospel of the kingdom shall be
preached in all the world for a witness
unto all nations; and then shall the end
come," Matthew 24:14
The Bible doesn't teach that Jesus cannot
come in the Rapture until the Gospel is
preached to the whole world. Rather, it
teaches that the Gospel of the Kingdom
shall be preached to the whole world.
Then shall the end.....the end of man's day
and the return of Jesus and His Kingdom
reign.....come after the Gospel of the Kingdom
is preached to the whole world.

"Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted,
and shall kill you; and ye shall be hated of all
nations for my name's sake. And then shall
many be offended, and shall betray one an-
other, and shall hate one another. And many
false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive
many. And because iniquity shall abound,
the love of many shall grow cold. But he that
shall endure unto the end, the same shall be
saved," Matthew 24:9-13
This is not about an individual Christian
enduring to the end and being saved. The
Gospel of the Grace of God is not something
to be endured; it's something to be rejoiced
in.

The theme of the Book of Romans is chapter
4 verses 6 thru 8:
"Even as David also describeth the blessedness
of the man unto whom God imputeth righteous-
ness apart from works, Saying, Blessed are
they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose
sins are covered. Blessed is the man to whom
the Lord will not impute sin,"

Paul wrote to the Galatians, "O foolish
Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that
ye should not obey the truth, before whose
eyes Jesus Christ hath been openly set
forth, crucified among you?,"
Galatians 3:1
That evidence set forth of the finished work
of Jesus on the cross was "the end of the law
for righteousness."
