Longing For The Rapture

Q. Do you receive many questions or comments of people (1) dreaming of the rapture and what it will be like; (2) longing for the rapture; (3) sensing the soon event of the rapture?

If yes, do you think this is a new ‘phenomenon’ i.e. the Lord preparing His church for departure; or ‘par for the course’ of people who study end times prophecy?

A. In the last couple of years I have noticed a significant increase in the number of people longing for the Rapture.  I think this is due partly to our deteriorating quality of life and partly to a stirring in our spirit as the time for our departure draws close.  Even though the exact timing of the Rapture is a mystery to us, Paul said that as sons of the light, it should not take us by surprise. (1 Thes. 5:4-5)
