When I first heard about the rapture, I was super excited. I honestly expected Jesus to return for His church in my lifetime. As I quickly age, and the grave gets closer and closer, as a human being, I begin to doubt the BLESSED HOPE as Paul called the event. Paul expected Jesus to return in His lifetime. Are you as excited in 2025 as you were about the rapture when you first heard about the event?

Depending on your age, you may still live to see Jesus established on his throne in Jerusalem, from where he will rule the earth for the great Sabbath of one thousand years.
@hightor,
Quote: The idea of a rapture as it is defined in dispensational premillennialism is not found in historic Christianity and is a relatively recent doctrine originating from the 1830s
1 Corinthians 15: 51-52; Listen to this secret truth: we shall not all fall asleep in death, but when the last trumpet sounds, we shall all be changed in an instant, as quickly as the blinking of an eye. For when the trumpet sounds, the dead will be raised, never to die again, and we (The living) shall all be changed. 53For what is mortal must be changed into what is immortal; what will die must be changed into what cannot die, etc.
