Page 17 - C086_The-Rapture

The rapture (whether pre or Pre-tribulation Bible teachers point
post-tribulation), wi involve an out that the doctrine of the rapture
instantaneous transformation of was not taught in the Old Testament,
our bodies to fit us for eternity. which is the reason Paul ca s it a
“mystery that is now revealed.”
The great Scriptural promise
is that when Christ aears, Listen, I te you a
we sha be like him (1 John 3:2). mystery: we sha not
a die, but we sha a
be given new bodies!
We wi not a sl p, but
we wi a be changed in
a moment — in a flash, in
the twinkling of an eye,
at the last trumpet.
For the trumpet wi
sound, the dead wi be
raised with bodies
that wi never die, and
we wi be changed
(1 Cor. 15:51–52).

Also, one might expect
Paul to instruct the
The‡alonians in
preparing for such a
traumatic event as the
Tribulation, but Paul
wrote only about the
hope of the Rapture.
