The rapture of the Rapture

According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, the word “rapture” has three basic definitions. 1) Ecstatic joy, bliss, euphoria, or delight. 2) The carrying away of a person to another place or sphere of existence. 3) The final assumption of Christians into heaven during the end-time according to Christian theology.

As a believer in Christ, can you imagine the joy (rapture definition #1) one will experience when we, as the bride and soul mate of Jesus, are “carried away“ (rapture definition #2) into the air to meet with Jesus, our Savior, Lord and King? He will then escort us to our new home in heaven… (rapture definition #3); where we will be with Him forever. The rapture of the Rapture :: By Randy Nettles - Rapture Ready

Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

That’s such a powerful way to frame it linking all three meanings of “rapture” really captures both the hope and the joy believers hold onto. It reminds me how some things in life, even emotionally supportive ones like an ESA through Paw Tenant, can reflect that same longing for peace, safety, and a sense of being carried to a better place. While it's not the same as the eternal hope we have, it’s amazing how small, real-world comforts can mirror bigger spiritual truths in our daily walk.

Replying to

Revelation 21

3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven(heaven?Ephesians 1:3-10, take a look)saying, Behold, the Tabernacle of GOD is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and GOD Himself shall be with them, and be their GOD.-> (Dear brothers, keep this in your heart, and look up).

4 And GOD shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death(Luke 20:35-36 combined with Philippians 3:20-21 and 1Corinthians 15:24-28 and 51-55,among other biblical references, take a look) neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the FORMER THINGS are passed away.->(How? Dear brothers, 2Peter 3:7-18 give us how will be the scenario when the FORMER THINGS passed away, take a look and it among other biblical references)

5 He that sat upon the throne says, Behold, I make all things new. (How? Matthew 28:18, among many other biblical references) And He said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

6 And He said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.

7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his GOD, and he shall be my son.

1 And I saw a new heaven->(the third heaven, the next to be established from now on, the Ineffable, Wonderful, Indescribable, Unspeakable 3rd heaven-2Corinthians 12:1-4, take a look) and a new earth(new Israel-144K, and JESUS seated on the Throne, enthroned, Alleluia!!!): for the FIRST heaven and the first earth were passed away(as is written: 2Peter 3:7); and there was no more sea ->(it means, all the current wicked nations of the world as a whole will be cast down into the lake of fire, as is written in the verse 8, below, and Revelation 11:15-18 will LITERALLY be fulfilled, take a look).

2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from GOD out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which BURNETH with FIRE AND BRIMSTONE: which is the second death.->(BRIMSTONE? How is this? Isaiah 30:33 reveals us, as below:

-> For Tophet is ordained of old; yea, for the King it is prepared; He hath made it deep and large: the pile thereof is FIRE and MUCH WOOD; the BREATH of the Lord, LIKE a stream of BRIMSTONE, doth kindle it.-> Yeah, The pile thereof is fire, the BREATH of the Lord, like a stream of BRIMSTONE, doth kindle fire and there is much wood in the world as a whole,->wicked nations/peoples as is written in the verse 8 above, among many other biblical references).

Keep in your mind: 2eter 3:11-14

11 Seeing then that all these things shall be DISSOLVED, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the Day of GOD(this Day arrived,the seventh and last Day,or seventh and last millennium),

wherein the heavens(the Old and New Covenants)being on fire shall be DISSOLVED, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

13 Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens(THE 3RD HEAVEN) and a new earth(new Israel-144K), wherein dwelleth righteousness.

14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of Him in peace, without spot, and blameless.

1John 2:28 ->And now, little children, abide in Him; that, when He shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before Him at His coming.

Amen!
