" Therefore encourage each other with these words."
( 1 Thessalonians 4 v 18 ) This is St. Pauls advice to Christians concerning the return of Jesus Christ to gather His people to
Him.
Rapture books aims to follow this advice and to encourage Christians with this same message.
We hope to encourage and excite our brothers and sisters IN CHRIST and to give a new sense of urgency
to speak to and to pray for others. We also hope that some who are at present athiests or agnostics might
begin to take the Bible more seriously and be led to faith in Jesus. We hope to do this by proving from
the scriptures the imminent return of our Lord at the end of this age. The word RAPTURE, comes from the Latin verb, rapere, which, in it's Biblical context, means to be changed
from one state of being or existence into another. This refers to the sudden, instantaneous translation
from our weak, natural bodies into glorious, heavenly bodies at the Lord's return. For many Christians
this will occur whilst still alive on the earth; possibly even in this generation! |
