4:13 But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. 15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 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 thus we shall always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.
Today’s message is a Q&A discussion between Pastor John Miller and Joel Weldon.
He brings up a good point. Why would Jesus die and pay the judgment for your sin, only for you to endure more judgment and wrath from God at a later time? It’s illogical to think that Christians would be subjected to punishment during the tribulation. Today, Pastor John makes a convincing case that Christians will be raptured before the tribulation on earth occurs. This is yet another example of God showing mercy to those who choose Him.
Now, let’s join Pastor John and Joel for their Q&A on “The Rapture.”
