Have you ever heard and thought about what is called the "Rapture" of the believers in Christ? And if you have, how seriously have you thought about it and what is required in the life and character to qualify for it? The word "Rapture" is a theological term used to describe the manner which the Lord will use to remove His people out of this world, before He will begin to unleash His anger upon it.

Rapture is another term for the phrase "Caught up", which the Apostle Paul used in 1 Thess. 4:17, to describe this glorious and awesome event in the history of this world. Those who will still remain in this evil world, after the rapture of the believers I'm Christ has taken place, will want to die, but death will flee from them.

It will be a period of complete darkness and increasing terror upon the earth and those inside it. Those who understand the terror and misery of that period on earth will do all that the Lord is requiring of us to become worthy of the rapture of the true believers in Christ.


The questions below will guide you to check your life in the light of the scriptures attached to tyem:
1. Have ever come to a point in your life where you acknowledge yourself a sinner, condemned to eternal torment in hell? -
Roms. 3:23. For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
John 3:18. He that believeth on him is not condemnhed: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
2 Thess. 1:8. In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

2. Have you acknowledged and given serious thought of your urgent need of Jesus Christ, as your Saviour, who has paid the supreme price for your Salvation?
John 3:14. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up;
15. That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Roms. 5: 6. For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
7. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
8. But God commendeth his love towards us, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.


3. Do you know that any moment from now, the Rapture will take place, and those who have accepted the Saviours and are made worthy, will be taken away from this world?
1 Cor. 15: 51. Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52. 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.
53. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal shall put on immortality.
54. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
55. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
56. The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
57. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, immoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
1 Thess. 4:16. For the Lord himself shall resend 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:
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.
18. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.


4. Do you know that after the Rapture has taken place, this world will become uninhabitable and unbearably terror stricken? -
2 Peter 3:9. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, ad some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of person ought he to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12. Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13. Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness,
Rev. 9:1. AND the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
2. And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
3. And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
4. And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
5. And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
6. And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.


5. And do you know that now is an acceptable time and day of your Salvation; that if you lose it, you will regret and lament forever? -
Heb. 3:7. Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,
8. Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
9. When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.
10. Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do always err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.
11. So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)
12. Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
Isaiah 55: 6. Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
7. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will aboundantly pardon.





Why don't you make up your mind now. Don't procrastinate! Resolve to be among those who will be rapture out of this earth, when the trumpet of the Lord will sound, to call the worthy believers home to everlasting bliss in heaven. This will soon become a reality.

LORD revealed Rapture in my dream on the 1st of this month (1st August 2014). I marveled seeing some few believers in the cloud matching majestically with boldness like soldiers. The most surprising was that they were walking in a narrow cloudy road and yet not falling. The saints that I saw in the cloud were very few and within some seconds, as I was counting them, the heavens began to open. Behold! I saw waters flowing like a river, very pure and besides the very pure water flowing like a river were very beautiful flower gardens by the two sides. As I was watching these marvelous and glorious revelation, A staircase automatically began to descend and the LORD descended to the earth with some angels on that staircase and asked us that were standing before Him "we needed someone that is very good at this football, who among you can play this football very well?"
I volunteered and the revelation cut off immediately then I woke up and began singing and praying for I knew that the "football" is souls that needs to be won because the saints are few and the place of salvation is been prepared already.
Perhaps the time is at hand as I "Tobechukwu (+2347032998510) viewed it.
Just very soon this will come to reality.
How prepared are you to meet your creator and live and reign with Him forever?
