"Catching Away of the Church" - Scott Johnson 9-2-07
1) Caught up to meet the Lord in the air with the dead in
Christ = The Rapture
The word rapture is not in the Bible. The Bible uses the
words catching away. God uses illustrations in the Bible
about the rapture.

We all turn there.
Before the coming of the Lord the sun will turn to darkness
and the moon will turn to blood.
Before Jesus came the people didn't really have a relationship with God. There's more than
just having religion. You need to let God take over your life. You gotta know what you believe.

The Rapture
1) living and the resurrected saints
caught up
2) judgement seat of Christ
3) marriage supper of the lamb
4) the rest of the dead lived not again
until the thousand years were finished.
7Let us rejoice and be glad and
give him glory! For the wedding
of the Lamb has come, and his
bride has made herself ready.
8Fine linen, bright and clean,
was given her to wear." (Fine
linen stands for the righteous
acts of the saints.)
9Then the angel said to me,
"Write: 'Blessed are those who
are invited to the wedding
supper of the Lamb!' " And he
added, "These are the true
words of God."
10At this I fell at his feet to
worship him. But he said to me,
"Do not do it! I am a fellow
servant with you and with your
brothers who hold to the
testimony of Jesus. Worship
God! For the testimony of Jesus
is the spirit of prophecy."
Revelation 19:7-10
