The Rapture and the Second Coming

We believe in the Physical Bodily Resurrection and Rapture of both the living and the dead of the Church to meet the Lord in the air. We believe that this event will take place BEFORE the Wrath to Come, and we believe that it can be shown in the Scriptures that the Wrath to Come can be a reference to the whole seven years of Tribulation as well as the last three and a half years or just the Second Coming itself. We, therefore, preach and teach a PRE-tribulation Rapture and NOT a mid or post-tribulation Rapture.
We believe that this is the Blessed Hope of the Church and at this event our vile bodies will be changed and made like unto Christ’s own Glorified Body - Phil. 3:20,21, 1 Thess. 1:10, 1 Thess. 5:9, Rom. 5:9. We also believe that the Second Coming of Christ will take place seven years later at which event Jesus Christ will come with all His Saints to take vengeance upon them that know not God, and that obey not the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ; to destroy the Anti-Christ; to bind the Devil in the bottomless pit; to create a New Heaven and a New Earth; to set up an Everlasting Kingdom, called the Kingdom of Heaven in the Scriptures. 2 Thess. 1:7-10, 2 Thess. 2:7-9, Rev. 20:1-4, 2 Pet. 3:8-14, Matt. 8:11, Dan. 2:44,45.
