Jesus Christ’s imminent return for the church should motivate us to be zealous and determined in service for the Lord while there is still time.

At a set time on God’s prophetic calendar, all Christians will hear the reverberating shout of the Lord—accompanied by the mighty voice of the archangel and the invigorating trump of God—as Christ descends in the clouds for the church.

The earth may well reel in the aftermath, but the biblical focus of the Rapture is the mysterious truth that we will all be instantly changed.

The early church was so convinced of the Lord’s return they greeted one another with the Greek expression Maranatha, “Our Lord come!”

Are you expectantly waiting for Jesus return? Eagerness for the Rapture of the church and living each day with expectancy is a sign of a healthy relationship with the Lord.

Although not formally systematized and categorized, the core of Imminent Rapture teaching was not only taught in the early church, but had adherents well before Darby.
