Essay Sample on The Rapture: The Final Days of Earth and Humanity

Introduction

The rapture of the church is believed by some Christian as the period of the final days of earth and humanity and we know it, whereby the true believers of Jesus Christ either living or dead will unite depending on strength of their faith and dwell with Christ for eternity i.e. the dead will rise and together with the living will join Christ in heaven as narrated by Paul's first epistle to the Thessalonians. These henceforth raised eyebrows on the particular events of the second coming of Christ, arguments have subsequently evolved on the manner in which the events will occur, some Christian criticized that God will protect his people before the tribulation known as pre-tribulation. Some argued that after tribulation is done that's when the church will dwell with Christ known as post-tribulation, others weighed on the idea that the rapture will occur in the midst of the tribulation known as mid-tribulation. I choose to believe that the church is not raptured but instead, God provides guidance that sustains the church during the tribulation giving triumph over evil powers in the end.

In Matthew 24:21-29 Jesus spoke about the calamities of the war faced by the hard-pressed due to the siege, this action clearly shows that God provides the church with guidance during the tribution exposing his nature of love and care towards his people through Jesus Christ, some explain that this is an act to test their faith, this is further explained in Matthew 24:15-21 which shows that the tribulation is after abomination of desolation which hallmarks the tributes midpoint. This explains why Christian must endure suffering.

Daniel 11:32-35 and revelation 8,11and 13 it is prophesied that the church shall prepare itself to join with Christ after he defeats the beast and set his kingdom for 1000 years on earth after which the better will be experienced because God would have created a new earth and heaven for the pleasure of the church, this simply means that God has good intention towards his people, that the righteous will not have to suffer instead they will rejoice in this new place. Paul used an example of a seed that is in another form when planted but changes during spring, in-depth humans are similar they have perishable bodies but also have a spiritual body that will resurrect this just goes to show Gods plan towards humankind.

In the book of Luke 13:23-28, this verse refers to a parable that Jesus once told of the people who had tried to enter the narrow the narrow gate but couldn't, this showed that God had acknowledged that it wasn't going to be easy for everyone to inherit the kingdom of God, which means that God is aware of his followers and their deeds so everyone is dealt individually according to the choices one makes through his/her lifetime. In another sense, it means that Gods people are protected and guided by Him since He has great plans towards the church.

Conclusion

To conclude, I think it is safe to state that Gods intention towards the people of the church, who have faith in Him, is of pure goodness and mercy. Given the arguments stated above one is fully convinced of the intention of God towards his loyal servants, this is also heavily supported by his act of sacrificing his only son due to the deep love He has with his people drawing to the conclusion that God will provide guidance that will sustain the church during the time of tribution.
