« Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. »
In this verse, Jesus teaches that merely calling Him “Lord” or making an outward profession of faith is not enough to enter the kingdom of heaven. Genuine faith is demonstrated by a true relationship with Jesus Christ and a life that seeks to do the will of God the Father.
This truth was revealed in the first century during Jesus Christ’s earthly ministry. It remains true for every generation and will be fully confirmed at the future judgments, when every person will stand before God.
This verse reminds us that salvation is not based on religious words or outward profession, but on genuine faith in Jesus Christ. Those who truly belong to Christ demonstrate their faith through obedience to God, while those who merely claim to know Him without a real relationship with Him will not enter His eternal Kingdom.
« Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; »
In this verse, Paul encourages believers to live in eager expectation of the blessed hope and the glorious appearing of our great God and Saviour, Jesus Christ. This hope gives Christians joy, confidence, and perseverance as they await the fulfillment of God’s promises.
This prophecy has not yet been fulfilled. According to the prophetic chronology presented on this website, the blessed hope refers to the Rapture of the Church, which will take place after the invasion of Gog and Magog, after the confirmation of the seven-year covenant, and before the beginning of the judgments of the Tribulation. Believers will then be gathered to Jesus Christ in heaven, awaiting His glorious return to the earth.
This verse reminds believers that the Christian hope is centered on Jesus Christ. As they await His return, they are called to live holy and faithful lives, knowing that He will fulfill every promise of God and bring His people into His eternal presence.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
In this passage, Paul clearly describes the Rapture of the Church. Jesus Christ will descend from heaven, the dead in Christ shall rise first, and then those who belong to Christ and are part of His Church who are still alive will be caught up with them to meet the Lord in the air. The Church is the Bride of Christ: she belongs to Him and will be united with her Bridegroom at the Rapture.
This event will take place before the beginning of the seven-year Tribulation. Jesus Christ will meet His Church in the air and take her to Himself. It is important to clarify that not all believers will be raptured: the Rapture concerns those who belong to Christ and are part of His Church. After the Rapture, other people will still be able to believe in Jesus Christ during the Tribulation, but they will not become part of the Church, because the Church will already have been raptured. The Church Age will therefore come to an end at the Rapture, after which God will continue His prophetic plan concerning Israel and the nations.
This passage is one of the clearest promises concerning the Rapture of the Church. It gives a special hope to those who belong to Christ and are part of His Church: they will be reunited with those who have been raised and will be with the Lord forever.
« In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. »
In this verse, Paul describes the miraculous transformation that will take place at the Rapture of the Church. In an instant, the dead in Christ shall be raised incorruptible, while those who belong to Christ and are part of His Church and are still alive will be transformed. Their mortal bodies will become incorruptible and immortal.
The word “we” is especially important. Paul includes himself when he says, “we shall be changed.” He therefore places himself among those who could still be alive when the Rapture takes place. Paul faithfully served Jesus Christ and lived in expectation of His coming. This passage therefore does not simply refer to all believers, but to those who, like Paul, belong to Christ and are part of His Church.
This verse highlights God’s power over death and corruption. At the Rapture, Jesus Christ will transform those who belong to Him and are part of His Church, giving them incorruptible and immortal bodies so that they may be forever with their Lord.
