Soon the world will be shaken, and they will witness the power of resurrection once again!
Those who died in Christ will rise from the dead when the Lord Himself descends from heaven and commands with the sound of the trumpet. And we who are alive in Him will be lifted up to be caught up together with them! This earth will tremble! It will testify to Jesus' triumph over death and sin, fulfilling His promise of resurrection for those who belong to Him! We can only imagine that it would be like the resurrection of the first fruits when Jesus was resurrected.
According to Matthew 27:52-53, at the moment of Christ's resurrection, the tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised, coming out of the tombs after His resurrection and appearing to many. Every single Christian who has ever walked on this earth and died believing in Jesus and in His promise of resurrection to eternal life will see it fulfilled!
They will be resurrected and lifted to heaven to meet Jesus in the air. The opening of tombs and the resurrection of believers serve as a powerful testament to the victory of Christ over sin and death, reaffirming the hope of eternal life for all who trust in Him.
It will be an incredible testimony for those who will be left behind! Those left behind could also be part of the third great resurrection, which will occur when Christ returns to earth (His Second Coming) at the end of the Tribulation period. Following the rapture of the Church, the Tribulation marks the next event in God's prophetic calendar after the Church Age. It will be the most horrific period the world will ever experience, characterized by severe judgment.
While all believers from the Church Age will have been taken, millions of individuals remaining on earth will awaken to reality during this time - and turn to Jesus as their Savior. Tragically, the majority of them will face martyrdom for their faith in Jesus. However, those believers who perish during the Tribulation will be resurrected upon Christ's return and will reign with Him for a thousand years during the Millennium. The sudden disappearance of millions of people, both dead and alive, will cause global panic. Families and communities will be thrown into chaos as loved ones vanish before their eyes. Authorities and media outlets may struggle to provide explanations, leading to speculation and lies. It will pave the rise of the Antichrist, global deception, and the return of Jesus after 7 years to judge the nations and to reign on this earth from Jerusalem.
"For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord." (1 Thessalonians 4:15-17)
Keep looking up! Our time is coming!

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." John 3:16-18
