"TWO SCRIPTURES TELL US WHEN THE RAPTURE HAPPENS"


 

THESE TWO SCRIPTURES TELL US WHEN THE RAPTURE WILL HAPPEN

 

The following two Scriptures tell us when  the resurrection/rapture will happen. The first Scripture cited is a "latter days" prophecy given by God to Ezekiel to write to the "latter days" Gentiles who will be watching for the resurrection/rapture to occur. The second Scripture cited is a "latter days" prophecy given  by Jesus Christ in His Olivet Discourse to the "latter days" Church who will be watching for the resurrection/rapture to occur. Jesus was answering the question that he was asked,  "What will be THE SIGN of your coming ?" 

 

The first of the two prophetic Scriptures tells us  the specific event for the "latter days" Gentile Church to watch for that is "THE SIGN" of His coming to resurrect/rapture His Church which is God's tribulation judgment upon Israel :

 

Ezekiel 38:16

"And thou shall come up against My people of Israel as a cloud to cover the land. IT SHALL BE IN THE LATTER DAYS  THAT I WILL BRING THEE AGAINST MY LAND that the Gentiles may know me when I shall be sanctified in  thee, O Gog,  BEFORE THEIR EYES."

 

The second of the two prophetic Scriptures tells us when the rapture happens in relationship to the specific event which is God's tribulation judgment upon Israel in the "latter days" that is "THE SIGN" of His coming to resurrect/rapture the Gentile Church :

 

 Matthew 24:29-31

"IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE TRIBULATION of those days (in Israel) shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from  heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man  in heaven; and then shall all of the tribes of the earth mourn,  and they shall see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He shall send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall GATHER TOGETHER ( resurrect/rapture ) HIS ELECT  ( Church ) from the four corners ( of earth ),  from one end of heaven to the other."

 

SO THERE YOU HAVE IT :

 

"Immediately after" the Gog-Magog War of God's tribulation judgment against Israel,  which is "the sign" we are given to watch for, the resurrection/rapture will occur according to Scriptural prophecy. 

 

 

According to Your Holy  Word,  come Lord Jesus !
