Discussions On When Will The Rapture Happen

By Jill Faulkner


What the future holds for man is a question that is looked into by many. It is something that comes into people's thought, however fleeting. There are some though that really put deep thought into it and have discussions around the topic. There are so many questions about one's life that many resources are also being looked into for answers. For the religious, there are many topics on Christ's coming and part of that is on when will the rapture happen.

This rapture talks of how believers will get caught up during the last day for them to be with him all through eternity. Both dead and living would be taken to heaven. This is an event that is really blessed and one can really look forward to it because there is a promise of redemption there where people are freed from oppression and injustices taking hold of the world before this last day.

The scriptures have many references for this day. There are even signs given for it. This time will be when the coming of Christ for the second time can be witnessed. At an end of the tribulation, on that day Jesus comes and gathers people for them to meet in heaven. Such a time can bring comfort for each.

One will want to ask too who the people who get caught up are. Jesus provides an answer to this in the gospels four times. It would be those that the father gave to Jesus. Those who see him and who believe in him, will have eternal life when he will raise them up during this last day. People who the father drawn to Jesus are also among those saved and also those who share his blood and flesh too.

When this happens is also answered. Signs are even there to look out for. Its day and hour is not known but when it comes, it will mark the end of tribulation and everyone will know and will be seeing Jesus. This is going to be the end of the seven years that Daniel spoke of in his prophecy.

Signs for the end of age include the beginning of sorrows. This will be the time when political unrest escalates, when there are famines, geological disturbances and disease. There would also be an increase in messianic claims. There would also be the period of the tribulation which is a period of sorrows where offenses grow into persecution, betrayal and hatred. These times lawlessness would abound and love would grow cold.

There will be an abomination too. He even warns people to seek shelter far away because of the great suffering that would be expected. Many will be claiming that christ already came, but Jesus gives the assurance that when he would, all would know and the saved would be gathered.

The time may be terrible but it does show that there is an end to it. That end will even be glorious. God would show grace and protection.

Discussions in when will the rapture happen will show how liberating people's faith is. It shows people that salvation does happen. It shows that change can be good even when everything seems doomed.
