The Lord's second coming
1 Thessalonians 4:16 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: 4:17 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. 4:18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
Jesus will come back from His present heavenly realm of dwelling, His second coming will not be some secret event that will transpire unnoticed by the world.
There will be announcement that will sound throughout the world (1 Co. 15:52). Every eyes will see Him coming down from heaven, surrounded by the host of heaven with their trumpets in their hand.
The dead Saint will be the first to be resurrected. Their bodies that were buried will be the seed that will give birth to a changed and transformed spiritual body.
As resurrected saints are caught up away from the earth, then the living saints will join them in their departure from this world. Once Christians are embodied again with a spiritual body, then they will go into endless dwelling with the Lord.
To die and be with the Lord in dissembled state is not the final desire of the Christians. It is the final desire and destination of the Christians to be embodied and be with the Lord forever in the new heavens and earth that are yet to come. (John 14:3)
The second coming of the Lord is not a fairy tale, it's not a false saying, it is a fact. How well are you preparing for His return?.
Are you living your life in an expectation of His second coming?, if Christ should appear now, what is the assurance that you will be raptured with Him?
Christ is coming back again, nothing can stop it, His coming can never be compromised, at the right time approved by God, He shall appear from the sky.
Every believer should be conscious of the second coming our our Lord Jesus Christ, working by preaching the Gospel to the unsaved, waiting in righteousness and holiness, ensuring their garment is spotless of sin, and desiring His second coming.
No one found in sin will be worthy of his welcome.
With the life you are living presently, how sure are you that you will be raptured if the trumpet should sound?
Get prepared, his coming is nearer than before, give your life to Him if you haven't, repent and retrace your steps of you have fallen shot of His glory.
When He shall come, let Him find you waiting and ready.
God bless you.
