The Rapture “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.” 1 Thess 4:13-17 NKJV Jesus died and rose again, As will the righteous in the first resurrection. With a shout and the voice of an archangel, All will hear God’s trumpet call to salvation. They’ll join their Savior in the air; Followed by those who are alive and remain; Caught up together in the clouds; Immortality to forever claim. Do not sorrow for those who’ve fallen asleep. For they have hope of tomorrow eternal. Wipe the tears from your eyes; Your next meeting by God’s made possible. When our Lord reveals himself, Our human frames, He’ll resemble; The beloved children of God, By The Rapture will assemble. In a resurrected and glorified state, The righteous dead will gaze upon His glory— Maranatha, come, O Lord; The Second Coming no longer a story. The names of those enrolled in heaven, Will be ticked off upon God’s slate. Both the virtuous dead and living; The Gifted eternity to relate. This Rapture will be no secret— The whole earth will see Christ come. Some will cry out for the rocks to fall on them; By His glory they’re totally overcome. Christ is a consuming fire To those who know Him not; They’ve wasted their opportunities— The love of God rejected or forgot! The Rapture completed; God’s people will ascend To the heavenly Jerusalem— One thousand years to spend. The books will be opened To judge the unrighteous dead; Not by God or the heavenly angels, But by previous mortals instead. © Copyright 2012 Maureen LeFanue www.maureenlefanue.com
