Rapture and Tribulation

But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

Caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air.

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

Caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air.

For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

Caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air.

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:

Caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air.

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.

Caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air.

Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

Caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air.

For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

Great tribulation such as was not since the beginning of the world.

And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.

Great tribulation such as was not since the beginning of the world.

Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.

Great tribulation such as was not since the beginning of the world.

For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

Great tribulation such as was not since the beginning of the world.

Behold, I have told you before.

Great tribulation such as was not since the beginning of the world.

Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.

Great tribulation such as was not since the beginning of the world.

For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Great tribulation such as was not since the beginning of the world.

For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

Great tribulation such as was not since the beginning of the world.

Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

Great tribulation such as was not since the beginning of the world.

And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

Great tribulation such as was not since the beginning of the world.

And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Great tribulation such as was not since the beginning of the world.

Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

We shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye.

In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

We shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye.

After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

Multitude who came out of great tribulation, washed robes in the blood of the Lamb.

And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

Multitude who came out of great tribulation, washed robes in the blood of the Lamb.

And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,

Multitude who came out of great tribulation, washed robes in the blood of the Lamb.

Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.

Multitude who came out of great tribulation, washed robes in the blood of the Lamb.

And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?

Multitude who came out of great tribulation, washed robes in the blood of the Lamb.

And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

Multitude who came out of great tribulation, washed robes in the blood of the Lamb.

And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.

A time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation.

Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

I will keep thee from the hour of temptation upon all the world.

For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.

Affliction, then the Son of man coming in the clouds gathering his elect.

And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect’s sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.

Affliction, then the Son of man coming in the clouds gathering his elect.

And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:

Affliction, then the Son of man coming in the clouds gathering his elect.

For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.

Affliction, then the Son of man coming in the clouds gathering his elect.

But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.

Affliction, then the Son of man coming in the clouds gathering his elect.

But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,

Affliction, then the Son of man coming in the clouds gathering his elect.

And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.

Affliction, then the Son of man coming in the clouds gathering his elect.

And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.

Affliction, then the Son of man coming in the clouds gathering his elect.

And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.

Affliction, then the Son of man coming in the clouds gathering his elect.

And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

Watch and pray to be accounted worthy to escape these things.

For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.

Watch and pray to be accounted worthy to escape these things.

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

Watch and pray to be accounted worthy to escape these things.

Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,

Day of Christ, falling away, man of sin revealed.

That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.

Day of Christ, falling away, man of sin revealed.

Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

Day of Christ, falling away, man of sin revealed.

Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

Day of Christ, falling away, man of sin revealed.

Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?

Day of Christ, falling away, man of sin revealed.

And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.

Day of Christ, falling away, man of sin revealed.

For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

Day of Christ, falling away, man of sin revealed.

And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:

Day of Christ, falling away, man of sin revealed.

Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

Day of Christ, falling away, man of sin revealed.

And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

Day of Christ, falling away, man of sin revealed.

And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

Day of Christ, falling away, man of sin revealed.

That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Day of Christ, falling away, man of sin revealed.

And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;

Great day of his wrath is come, who shall be able to stand.

And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:

Great day of his wrath is come, who shall be able to stand.

For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

Great day of his wrath is come, who shall be able to stand.
