Both God's love and God's wrath are ratcheted up in the move from the old covenant to the new, from the Old Testament to the New. These themes barrel along through redemptive history, unresolved, until they come to a resounding climax - in the cross.

Millions Vanish

Millions Vanish

MILLIONS VANISH!

Innumerable accidents in every phase of transportation; many sections of business and industry temporarily halted because of absent workers; people frantically searching for loved ones who have disappeared; some empty beds in hospitals and many empty graves in the cemeteries; great numbers of churches closed and silent; government unable to function.

MILLIONS VANISH!

Radio and TV stations, along with local and governmental authorities flooded with inquiries concerning this strange event. The news media, as well as many religious leaders and liberal ministers only add to the world-wide confusion and panic with their theories and speculations as to what had really occurred.

THE BIBLE presents the only true explanation of this matter. In the book of First Thessalonians chapter 4 God tells us, “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” (Verses 16-17)

THIS is the way the Lord fulfills His promise of John chapter 14, where He says, “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” (Verses 1 -3)

MILLIONS VANISH!

These are the real Christians – persons who realized they were lost sinners and believed in the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior. They believe what the Bible says, “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)

REMEMBER that MILLIONS will also REMAIN on this earth when the Lord comes again. They will be the objects of God’s wrath and Judgment. His Word tells us, “then shall be great tribulation” – “and in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them” – “men were scorched with great heat” – “they gnawed their tongues for pain”, etc.

YOU can be with those who are “caught up to be forever with the Lord” when He comes again. The Bible states, “whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” – “whosoever believeth in Him shall not be ashamed” – “as many as receive Him, to them gave He Power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name.” (John 1:12). WHOSOEVER means YOU. Believe in Him now, receive Him now as your Savior.

Tomorrow may be too late.

Tomorrow HE may come!
