THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE RAPTURE AND THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST

THE RAPTURE (PRIVATE)

 

1.      For committed believers only

2.      The dead in Christ are resurrected

3.      They attend as the bride the seven-year wedding of the Lamb

4.      A time of Joy

5.      On earth begins the seven-years of tribulation, 2/3 of the earth’s population dies

6.      A time of rewards for the saints

 

 

THE SECOND COMING (PUBLIC)

 

1.      Impacts all of humanity

2.      Every eye shall see Him and every knee shall bow

3.      Time of Judgment

4.      The nations will mourn

5.      Christ will reign for 1,000 years and the Church with Him

6.      Focusing on the poor and restoring the earth are the first priorities
