• Jesus will return in the clouds. • He will raise the dead in Christ. • He will transform the bodies of living believers into glorified, resurrection bodies.
We will all join Him in Heaven while the Earth endures one final seven-year campaign of severe evangelism. Are you ready for the rapture? If not, Get ready; Stay ready; Keep looking up. Ready or not, Jesus is coming!
God’s Word is the source of truth and the standard for life!
