Capture The Rapture

After reading The Great Disappearance by Dr. David Jeremiah, I was inspired to write the following: 

Capture The Rapture 

 

No one knows the time,

but God’s children listen for the chime

for when Jesus will appear in the air.

A trumpet will blair,

but not all will hear.

There will be a mighty shout, 

“Come Forth!”

 Graves will open from the East, West, South, and North. 

Bodies will be disbursed;

All will happen unrehearsed!

First, the dead in Christ will rise to the skies;

Wind will gather the scattered dead. 

In that day, there will be nothing to dread;

Only a reunion in the sky with Jesus’ cry.

Quickly, the living will ascend and disappear-

away from others standing near.

Bodies will join souls;

Joy will erupt with Jesus in control.

What a sight for those who see!

What a joy to fall at Jesus’ knee! 

He came to set the body free

and to heal in the great reveal;  

No flaw, only awe-

No scars or mars, no prison bars-

It will be a mystery for those left behind

who remained blind.

They did not see this great event 

or where the people went.

Hours will be spent in confusion

With no right conclusion.

God had come to get His own

leaving the blind to moan and groan.

Look up; Look ahead!

All will not remain dead.

For God’s children, there will be a rapture; 

 a bodily capture. 

This will be the great disappearing,  

Leaving the left-behind, confused and fearing.
