What is the Rapture of the Saints?  The Saints are the Believers who have trusted Jesus
and been Born again. The event called the Rapture, by Believers will happen
at some time in the near future. We believe in the Pre-Tribulation view of the Rapture, which
means that We believe Jesus will come back for His church before the 7 year tribulation
starts. The Bible states that no man knows the hour or day when the Lord will return (Mark 13:32) but
We believe we can know the time is near. The following scripture is one of the verses that usually appears
in a discussion on the Rapture.

1st Thessalonians 4:13-18

13But I would not have you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning them which are asleep, that you sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain to the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16For 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:
17Then 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.
18Why comfort one another with these words.  

The Rapture was a mystery until Paul began to explain it in his letters. “Behold, I shew you a mystery;
We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye,” I Corinthians 15:51-52a.

Book Description: Those Who Are Wise WILL SHINE!

Publication Date: December 31, 2010
Those Who Are Wise Will Shine, is really the emanation of a life that lives within the favor of God. When we live within the confines of the "Joy of the Lord,"...we shine and others know it! There is no better way to shine for the Lord than to know with determined faith, who He really is and where He is taking you! Truly, the work He has done for us, the provisions He has made for our welfare, and our positional standing in Christ are nothing but astonishing! It is a sad fact that so many believers are not made aware of these awesome truths. However, before we can help teach them, we must have experienced and zealously lived them ourselves. To fully understand the implications of these truths we must first understand the nature of the Father as revealed in Scripture. True joy in the Lord must always begin with that. Knowing Him, His purpose, and His promises will allow us to experience the life He desires for all believers.

This volume seeks to take the readers back to the basics of Redemption and Sanctification by unveiling the Redemptive Thread that links the blood lineage of our forefathers to the rise of our Messiah, Jesus Christ and His second coming. Redemption and Sanctification define two of the zealous desires of the Lord. The overall central theme of the Holy Scripture is Redemption. Humanity is fallen and separated from God. The Lord's gift of Redemption reconciles the breach. Sanctification is what follows that. It is an immediate, yet ongoing process of the Lord's work, which will only be completed when we pass from here to eternity. It means to be holy and set apart for God's service. In short, it is God's foundational will. Do not pass that statement by.

Today, Christians in many places are in need of the milk of the word. They lead a very shallow and powerless Christian life. It is one of the reasons the church is so lifeless in many places. It is not enough to know of the elementary principles of Christianity, we must also know what they mean. This volume seeks to lay the foundations that have led millions in the past millennia to go beyond the superficial and stand firmly and boldly on the side of the Lord! A proper understanding of Redemption will only lead you to rejoice with "joy unspeakable" as you stand in unrestricted service to God. He has liberated us to fulfill our redemptive purpose. He truly has set us free!

Hebrews 13:9b teaches us, "For it is good that the heart be established by grace..." The word established comes from βέβαιος which means to be firm or secure, literally propped up, as in a stick holding up a tent. If our heart is truly established by the true teaching of Grace, which comes from the nature of the Father, then when we fall, we still stand. Rejoice in Him...For Redemption provides just that!
