Notes About The Poem

The Rapture of the church has been debated by many but,
it is in the Word of God but not by the name (Rapture).  
In I Thessolonias 4:16 talks about the Lord descending
from with  a shout and with the voice of the archangel
and with the trump of God.  I won't put the whole verse
in here but, you can look it up.  The other thing is,
people laugh and say, "Oh people have said this for
many years... but, we have to understand, 1 day is
like a thousand years and a thousand years like 1
day so, in other words, He has only been gone 2
days.  God bless. 

The Rapture

The Rapture

When the Christ went away
He comforted His disciples and said do not be afraid
I will come for you again
but they thought it would be in only a few days.

Now, two centuries have passed
yet His Word remains the same, 
He is coming again for His church
as He in His Word made it so plain.

Why others have scoffed even Christians by name
and believed not His Powerful Word
the Rapture they cry???
then laugh and say, why don’t be absurd!

But where will you be
when His Word about His coming is fulfilled
will you be caught up to heaven
or will you be left on top of a hill?

I’ll be with my Christ
just like in His Word He said
my Wonderful Lord did not lie
you know, the One that also rose from the dead!
