Read: 1 Corinthians 15:50-58

Meditation verse:

“In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet  will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed”  (1 Corinthians 15:52).

In the evening of October 4th, 2021, Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp  crashed and stopped working. And it happened suddenly; one moment they  were on and the next all three platforms froze. Initially, my husband and I did  not realize what had happened. We refreshed our browsers, changed our  internet providers, and even restarted our devices, believing the source of data  was the problem. But then we received a message that all three platforms had  stopped working. How could this have happened? It had never occurred. It took  us unawares leaving us with unsent messages and contents we had previously  scheduled for posting.  

The bible speaks of a future event which would occur in a similar manner.  Suddenly and in the twinkle of an eye, the trumpets will sound, and Jesus Christ  would appear in the sky. The dead in Christ will rise first and then we who are  alive will be caught up in the air to meet Him. Just like with the crashing of the  platforms, most people would be unaware. As certain people begin to disappear  from the earth, their loved ones would wonder where they are and begin  searching for them. Then, it would dawn on all that the ‘rapture’ has taken place.  And there will be messages not delivered, apologies not said, and mistakes not  corrected. 

Luke 21:34 says, “but take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down  with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day come on you  unexpectedly”. If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and  you are living your life in accordance with His word, then you are prepared, but  if you are still living a life of sin, let the sudden events of October 4th remind you  of the need to surrender your life to Him. You can do so right away.
