These Verse's below in red described the rapture
or the catching away of the church or all born
again believers to heaven
1 Furthermore then we
beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the
Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how
ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would
abound more and more.
2 For ye know what
commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.
3 For this is the will of
God, even your sanctification, that ye should
abstain from fornication:
4 That every one of you
should know how to possess his vessel in
sanctification and honor;
5 Not in the lust of
concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know
not God:
6 That no man go beyond and
defraud his brother in any matter: because that
the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also
have forewarned you and testified.
7 For God hath not called us
unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.
8 He therefore that
despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath
also given unto us his holy Spirit.
9 But as touching brotherly
love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye
yourselves are taught of God to love one
another.
10 And indeed ye do it
toward all the brethren which are in all
Macedonia: but we beseech you, brethren, that ye
increase more and more;
11 And that ye study to be
quiet, and to do your own business, and to work
with your own hands, as we commanded you;
12 That ye may walk honestly
toward them that are without, and that ye may
have lack of nothing.
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.
14 For if we believe that
Jesus died and rose again, even so them also
which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
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.
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:
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.
