The Rapture is a Great Comfort

1 Thessalonians 4:15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.

All believers who have passed away are not dead!  They have not lost their promise of life.  In fact, they are enjoying it right now.  One day, if I don't go to be with the LORD first, I will be caught up to meet Jesus in the air.  Caught up is the Greek word harpazo.  This is were we get the English word rapture.  Paul under the inspiration of the Spirit, says we are to comfort on another with these words.  To be absent from this body is to be present with the LORD.  This event of the rapture is not so much a coming as it will be an appearing of Jesus.  He wont step foot on earth for another seven years from this point.  We will be ever with Jesus and enjoying the Marriage Feast of the Lamb at that time.
