The Mystery Is Unfolding!

Now, I say this to the believers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit nor be part of the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable (mortal) inherit the imperishable (immortal). Listen very carefully, I will tell you a mystery a secret truth decreed by God and previously hidden, but now revealed; we will not all sleep in death, but we will all be completely changed wondrously transformed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the sound of the last trumpet call. For a trumpet will sound, and the dead [who believed in Christ] will be raised imperishable, and we will be [completely] changed [wondrously transformed]. For this perishable [part of us] must put on the imperishable nature, and this mortal [part of us that is capable of dying] must put on immortality which is freedom from death. And when this perishable puts on the imperishable, and this mortal puts on immortality, then the Scripture will be fulfilled that says, “Death is swallowed up in victory (vanquished forever). O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin [by which it brings death] is the law; but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory [as conquerors] through our Lord Jesus Christ. AMP 1 Cor. 515:50-57

I'm writing this today, having expereinced the transition of many whom I loved so dearly. This particular verse brings joy and hope to my soul that's been bruised from the pain that one experiences in this life "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.". In the referenced scripture the writer lays it our quite simply for us. There's know, need to get caught with any doctrinal beliefs or questions on "when does the rapture occur" therefore if any be in Christ, he or she can rest in knowing that whether living or in death, they will be caught UP! when Jesus returns. I'll never forget that I spoke these words when I eulogised my Mother, I spoke these same words to encourage my family "Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal (subject to death) must put on immortality (not subject to death or dying)." In 1 Thessalonians, 4:16-17, the word tells us "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. My friends study the "Rapture" by the way, the word "Rapture" is not in the bible, don't allow yourselves to get caught up on when this event will happen, just be READY, whenever He returns. "But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him." Matt. 24:43-44
