THERE IS NO RAPTURE

"Behold, he cometh with clouds; and EVERY EYE SHALL SEE HIM, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen." (Revelation 1:7; Capital Emphasis Added)

My dear Brother or Sister in Christ, JESUS will come in His real bodily presence the second time to judge the world. This is a point which the Bible speaks so plainly, that there is no room left for dispute or doubt. When our Lord had ascended up before the eyes of His disciples, the angels said to them that, "This same Jesus, who is taken up from you into heaven shall so come IN LIKE MANNER as you have seen Him go into heaven" (Acts 1:11). There can be no mistake about the meaning of these words. VISIBLY and BODILY our Lord left the world, and VISIBLY and BODILY He will return in the day which is emphatically called the day of "His appearing" (1 Peter 1:7). That same Jesus who came 2020 years ago in lowliness and poverty (Luke 2:6, 7), to be despised and crucified (Matthew 27:11-50), shall come again one day in power and glory (Matthew 25:31), to raise the dead (John 5:28, 29) and change the living (1 Corinthians 15:52), and to reward every man according to his works (Revelation 22:12)!
