Some of this blog may be repetitious, but I will tell you why. I was looking on different sites on the Internet to see where I could make money writing articles. I came across one site that mentioned that it was possible to make up to $750 a week. That sounded really good to me so I decided to write an essay about the Rapture. However, my son told me that the site I was looking at was in the business of writing essays for students. All the student has to do is pay for the essay and turn it in to the professor. That is CHEATING no matter how you slice the pie! I want NO part of it so I just kissed my money goodbye and praised the Lord for letting my son open my eyes.

This is the popular opinion of what the meaning of Rapture is for many people. Rapture means “to raise up.” Many Protestant in the United States have the belief that God will Rapture, or take up into Heaven, the Christians who have been faithful to Him and remove them from the last tribulation...

Rapture means “to raise up.” Many Protestant in the United States have the belief that God will Rapture, or take up into Heaven, the Christians who have been faithful to Him and remove them from the last tribulation that you hear described in the Book of Revelation. There are some people who also teach that the Rapture is a time that will give people a second chance for their repentance of sins before Jesus until He returns for a second time. Here is the true teaching concerning the Rapture. The Book of Revelation does not really teach that there will be a Rapture of Christians. God is not going to remove Christians from this earth just so they may avoid the suffering that is to come. Rather, the Book of Revelation teaches that God is going to preserve His faithful people no matter if they meet with persecution and suffering. You can find this in the Book of Revelation 3:10; 14:12. Since Jesus will return to earth to resurrect all believers as well as unbelievers on Judgment Day, there will not be a second chance for people to...
