Then one day the resurrection call comes. He wings his way up into the blue sky. Yes, but he has undergone a metamorphosis, a change of form. We're going to be like the Lord Jesus. We call this glorious event the true Biblical rapture of the saints.
Rapture means to catch away .
All God's people, the living and the dead, are caught up together to meet the Lord in the air. Suppose you were to take small pieces of copper, lead, zinc, iron, platinum, gold and silver and scatter these minerals all over a field. Then, if you were to take an electromagnet and swing it all over the field, the machine would pick up only the iron. Because it picks up substances of the same nature as itself. It is made of iron and it picks up iron.
