Jesus the example of the dead in Christ that shall be part of the imminent rapture.

Jesus, the example of the dead in Christ, that shall be part of the imminent rapture.

Acts  1:9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.

Our Lord Jesus Christ after His resurrection, while speaking with His disciples was received to heaven.

Acts  1:2 Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:

Mark  16:19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

Luke  24:50 And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.  24:51 And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.

There are two categories of people who will be part of the imminent rapture:. 1. The dead in Christ, like Jesus. 2. The living saints like Enoch and Elijah.

Hebrews  11:5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

1 Thessalonians  4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.  4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.  4:15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.  4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend 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:  4:17 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.

1 Corinthians  15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,  15:52 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.

Jesus gave insight to those who will be part the imminent rapture.

Revelation  3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

The blessed Holy Spirit did same too.

Ephesians  5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;  5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,  5:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

1 John  3:1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.  3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.  3:3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

May the good Lord help you to be part of the imminent rapture, when, it  takes place in Jesus name

Let us pray.
