"For unto the angels hath he not put in
subjection the world to come, whereof we
speak.
But one in a certain place testified, saying,
What is man, that thou art mindful of him?
or the son of man that thou visitest him?
Thou madest him a little lower than the
angels; thou crownedst him with glory and
honour, and didst set him over the works
of thy hands:
Thou hast put all things in subjection under
his feet. For in that he put all in subjection
under him, he left nothing that is not put
under him. But now we see not yet all
things put under him."
Hebrews 2:5-8
What an uplifting word from our ordinary
circumstances that is in the Bible!
So, the Christians are to inherit not only
the world, which is the case with Israel,
but they will inherit the universe also!
"All things" are in the process of being
given to them by the Lord, all of which
will one day be theirs.
". . .For all things are yours, Whether
Paul or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world,
or life, or death, or things present, or
things to come; all are yours, And ye are
Christ's and Christ is God's,"
1 Corinthians 3:21-23

Christians are told that they live in a special
age in which God is taking out of the world
a people for His name and forming them
together into a mysterious living group in
the world, the Body of Christ Himself.
One of the most wonderful features of
Christianity is that to be a Christian is to be
in an absolute union with God through
Jesus Christ.

The Body of Christ was unknown and not
foreseen by the prophets in the Old Testa-
ment times.
It was a: ". . . . .mystery, which from the
beginning of the ages hath been hidden in
God, who created all things by Jesus Christ,
To the intent that now, unto the principal-
ities and powers in heavenly places, might
be known by the church the manifold
wisdom of God," Ephesians 3:9-10

Following His crucifixion, burial, and His
resurrection, Jesus Christ took His seat at
the right hand of the Father,
"Far above all principality, and power, and
might, and dominion, and every name that
is named, not only in this world, but also in
that which is to come:
And hath put all things under his feet, and
gave him to be the head over all things to
the church,
Which is his body, the fulness of him that
filleth all in all." Ephesians 1:21-23

The believers, in the early days of the Church,

They didn't pay attention to whether they had
been here forever or would go on forever.
One day the disciples asked Jesus ". . .Tell us,
when shall these things be? And what shall be
the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the
age?" Matthew 24:3
earth and even existence of earth itself was
a passing thing and would end someday.
The Bible describes the reality of this event
in the most clearest of terms that cannot be
denied by any opponent of the faith.
The catching away of the Christians is the
greatest source of anticipation of the true
believers across the world of our time.

The subject of the Rapture was given to
believers in the New Testament times.
Remember, by missing the Rapture and
waiting until after the day of grace ends,
being able to be caught up to be with Jesus
Christ is past.
Then the fearful days of the Tribulation
starts. Non-Christians risk the possibility
of being lost in eternity. They also risk
going through the awful Tribulation in
which many people will die.

The Bible says, "My Spirit shall not always
strive with man" (Genesis 6:3).
"He that, being often reproved, hardeneth
his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and
that without remedy" (Proverbs 29:1).
"Behold, now is the accepted time; behold,
now is the day of salvation" (2 Corinthians
6:2).
"Today if ye will hear his voice, Harden not
your heart" (Psalm 95:7-8)

If you are fortunate to have read this before
the Rapture, there is more hope for you.
You still have the privilege to escape that
awful time of trouble that we have just been
describing.
The Tribulation is coming, and Jesus said
it will be terrible beyond description.
Receive Jesus Christ now as your Savior
before it's too late!

If you are reading this during that terrible
time, be true to Jesus Christ.
Look at the end. . .the short time in which
you are called to suffer is rather small in
comparison to the length of eternity.
Keep eternity with Him in His Kingdom

The Tribulation will not only be a time of
immense suffering, but it will be a time of
immense evangelism.
Millions will be saved. We are told of a large
number of Gentiles (Revelation 7:9) that will
be brought into the Kingdom, because in
those days they will believe in the Lord and
accept Him as their Messiah.
