The rapture is the catching away of all true believers in Christ (both the dead and the living ) to meet the Lord in the air. It is the first stage of the second coming of Christ. preceding the Great Tribulation. At the Rapture, the Lord himself shall descend from Heaven "with the voice of the arch angel, 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" (1Thessalonians 4:16-17). It will happen suddenly and only those it meets ready will be taken away.

Same misguided persons have attempted to predict the time of the Rapture, but no one knows the time it will happen, not even the angels (Matthew 24:36). Now seeing the nearness and suddenness of the Rapture and the horrific events that will follow, what does the Lord expect from you? If you are still living in San, repent now and make your way right with the Lord. Thereafter walk continually in the light of God's love.
As Christian, this is not the time to rest or relax. Maintain a holy walk with the Lord and be watchful over your soul "because your adversary the devil, as a roaming lion, walketh about, seeking for whom he may devour" (1peter 5:8).
