III. Elijahs RAPTURE
  • 2 Kings 211-12 As they were walking along and
    talking together, suddenly a chariot of fire and
    horses of fire appeared and separated the two of
    them, and Elijah went up to heaven in a
    whirlwind. Elisha saw this and cried out, "My
    father! My father! The chariots and horsemen of
    Israel!" And Elisha saw him no more. Then he took
    hold of his own clothes and tore them apart.

Elijahs RAPTURE
  • 1. IMMINENT Walking along talking...
  • The Rapture could happen at any moment!

Luke 1240 You also must be ready, because the
Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not
expect him."

Elijahs RAPTURE
  • 2. SUDDEN Suddenly a chariot of fire...
  • The Rapture will occur very quickly!

1 Cor. 1551-52 Listen, I tell you a mystery We
will not all sleep, but we will all be changed--
in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the
last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the
dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be
changed.

Elijahs RAPTURE
  • 3. SELECTIVE Separated the two of them...
  • The Rapture catches up all true believers!

Philip. 320-21 But our citizenship is in heaven.
And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the
Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables
him to bring everything under his control, will
transform our lowly bodies so that they will be
like his glorious body.

Elijahs RAPTURE
  • 4. GLORIOUS Went up to heaven...
  • The Rapture is beyond human comprehension!

1 Thes. 416-17 For the Lord himself will come
down from heaven, with a loud command, with the
voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call
of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
After that, we who are still alive and are left
will be caught up together with them in the
clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we
will be with the Lord forever.

Elijahs RAPTURE
  • 5. CONFUSION Cried out... tore his clothes...
  • The Rapture shocks the minds of those left behind!

2 Thes. 210b ...They perish because they
refused to love the truth and so be saved.
