1 Corinthians 15:52
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.
How useful it is to be tested on memory verse and then be thrown in a situation where you have the opportunity to quote the verse! Makes you feel all smart and proud that the memory was not in vain, as the exact word of God could be given, instead of the usual paraphrased gibberish sentences.
I had quite a nice, albeit early, dinner appointment last night and as the conversation veered around the world. We observed that the sunset sky was in a really peculiar shade of orange, blue hue. (I only found out later, that there was also an amazing sighting of rainbow in various locations!) So, as we took in the unusual sunset colours of the sky, I could help but attribute it to my nonsense theory of the end times and end of the world.
This eventually led to the hair-raising topic of what if we are left behind when the rapture happens. It's a terrible thing to happen, but with the world experiencing an unprecedented number of natural disasters, it is but the beginning of the signs. The bible does say, it is only like the start of birth contractions.
Much as we have our regular life and its pursuit of pleasures and dreams to fulfil. Better stay alert and be ready because Jesus is coming back someday and pretty sooner than we possibly think.
