Why will the rapture take place?

  • To resurrect the just of all ages from among the the dead. 1 Thess. 4:13-17
  • To take the saints out of the world before the time of great tribulation. 2 Thess 2:7-8
  • That Jesus christ might present to himself a church without spot or wrinkles Eph. 5:7

  • To make the saints become like christ at his appearance 1 John 3:2-3

Who will be raptured?

  • Those who earnestly desire his appearance Titus 2:13, Phil 3:20

Highlights of the lesson
To be rapturable, we must:
