Return Rapture

orchidee



Tune: Regent Square

('Light's abode, celestial Salem')

1 Thessalonians 4 v.14-18

*********

If we believe that Jesus died

And rose again, not denied

Even so them which also sleep* (*have died)

In Jesus, God will them keep

And bring with Jesus when He comes

 

We which are alive and remain

'Til the Lord does come again

We shall not precede them who died

But the Lord He shall provide

That He shall descend from heaven

With shout, archangel's voice then

To take His saved people home

 

And the trumpet of God shall sound

The dead in Christ shall be found

In Him, and then they shall rise first

In that glorious victory burst

Then we which are alive, remain

Shall meet loved ones once again

 

For we shall be caught up in clouds

With them, God's presence enshrouds

And shall meet the Lord in the air

And His blessings ever share

We shall be with Him for ever

Comfort that ceases never

    What a wonderful thought, to be reunited with our dearly departed. I am going to hang on to that thought Orchi. Happy Thursday.

      I like the idea of a reunion .. I am also a firm believer in reincarnation .. just wondering what you did to come back as a ferret or whatever you are ..

      • orchidee

        Thanks N. I'm not into reincarnation myself, though I could come back as a guinea pig or ferret, If I believed in it. lol.

        Great write Orchi but as ror me. After they plant me in the ground I don't want a second time around. So when the rapture comes to town don't hand me no angel gown, just leave me planted face down.

          Thanks SB. And yet one said 'Oohh, will I like heaven?' A reply could be 'Yep, you sure will!'
          Who said that? You, originally?! Sounds like poetic lines from someone - After they plant me..... etc.
