This passage of Scripture (1 Thessalonians 4:16–17) is NOT the so called “rapture”!

This passage of Scripture is the REDEMPTION of the Kingdom of God on the Last Day at the end of the Day of Judgment before the END OF THE WORLD (Matthew 25:31-34) (Revelation 20:11-15).

“[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], [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 Thessalonians 4:16–17).

Absolutely no one is going to ESCAPE the DAY OF JUDGMENT except the 144,000 saints of priests of God and of the lamb who are killed, and are the FIRSTFRUITS to be REDEEMED to heaven (Revelation 7:2-4; 20:4-6).

“These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the [FIRSTFRUITS UNTO GOD AND TO THE LAMB]. And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are [WITHOUT FAULT BEFORE THE THRONE OF GOD]” (Revelation 14:4).

“And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but [AFTER THIS THE JUDGMENT]” (Hebrews 9:27).

“[FOR WE MUST ALL APPEAR] before the judgment seat of Christ; that [EVERY ONE MAY RECEIVE THE THINGS DONE IN HIS BODY], according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad” (2 Corinthians 5:10).

“THEN COMETH THE END, when he shall have [DELIVERED UP THE KINGDOM TO GOD, EVEN THE FATHER]; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power” (1 Corinthians 15:24).

“Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, [WORLD WITHOUT END]. Amen” (Ephesians 3:21).

“The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen” (Philippians 4:23).

God is Good. “THERE IS NONE GOOD BUT ONE, THAT IS, GOD:” (Matthew 19:17), says Jesus, the Only Begotten Son of God.

Whatever is now taking place and will continue to take shape in the coming years in the world, and on whatever road we find ourselves on this earth, let us always be reminded that GOD IS GOOD (Psalm 73:1). “Depart from evil, and [DO GOOD]; and dwell for evermore” (Psalms 37:27). “[AND WE KNOW THAT ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD TO THEM THAT LOVE GOD], to them who are the called according to his purpose” (Romans 8:28). “Glory ye in his holy name: let the [HEART] of them rejoice that seek the LORD. Seek the LORD, and his strength: [SEEK HIS FACE EVERMORE]” (Psalm 105:3-4). “Blessed be the LORD for [EVERMORE]. Amen, and Amen” (Psalm 89:52).

The POWER OF GOD and HIS ONLY BEFOTTEN SON (Genesis 1:1-31) (John 1:1-4, 14, 3:16-18): Human beings who die in JESUS CHRIST NEVER SEE DEATH: BELIEVE THIS! (John 8:51, 10:19, 27-30).

  GOD is a LIVING GOD: “[FOR HE IS NOT A GOD OF THE DEAD, BUT OF THE LIVING]: for all live unto him” (Luke 20:38). GOD GAVE HUMANS THE BREATH OF LIFE, BUT THEN CAME DEATH. At the apex of time, Adam and Eve did not BELIEVE the word of GOD: the TRUTH (Genesis 2:16-17, 3:2–3) and instead believed the LIES of the devil, aka Satan (Genesis 3:4), that “crooked serpent” (Job 26:10). As a consequence ALL human beings were CONDEMNED TO DEATH. However, God then sent his only begotten Son Jesus, at the right time, in the fullness of time, to bring and to spread the WORD OF LIFE: “[THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE]” (John 3:15). The Apostle Paul gives a clear understanding when he said: “Therefore as [BY THE OFFENCE OF ONE] judgment came upon all men to [CONDEMNATION]; even so [BY THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF ONE THE FREE GIFT] came upon all men unto justification of life” (Romans 5:18). “[FOR SINCE BY MAN CAME DEATH], by man came also the resurrection of th

Give God the FATHER THANKS for ALL THINGS and for giving his ONLY BEGOTTEN SON (John 3:16-18).

If we know to say “Thank you” to another human being when an act of kindness is done for us, then we MUST GIVE THANKS TO GOD because he CREATED ALL THINGS (Genesis 1:1). “For all the earth is mine” (Exodus 19:5). Furthermore, we must especially GIVE GOD THANKS for the promise of ETERNAL LIFE through JESUS CHRIST. “[THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE]” (John 3:15). “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]” (John 3:16). “And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now [COMMANDETH ALL MEN EVERY WHERE TO REPENT]: Because he hath [APPOINTED A DAY], in the which he will [JUDGE THE WORLD] in [RIGHTEOUSNESS] by that [MAN WHOM HE HATH ORDAINED]; whereof he hath [GIVEN ASSURANCE UNTO ALL MEN], in that he hath [RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD]” (Acts 17:30-31). “[FOR AS THE FATHER RAISETH UP THE DEAD, AND QUICKENETH THEM; EVEN SO THE
