<div class="SSN_title">"CHILDREN OF LIGHT"</div>
<div class="SSN_rnum">I. PAUL HAS BEEN WRITING THESE THINGS AS TO THE RAPTURE. </div>
<div class="SSN_level2">A. As concerning our loved ones who have died.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. They will share in it.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Thus our sorrow for them not, as those with no hope.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">3. The Lord will bring them with Him when He returns for us.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">4. That those who are alive at the time of the rapture will not have any advantage.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">5. That they shall rise first.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">B. Concerning the Lord.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. He will descend from heaven with a shout.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. With the voice of the archangel.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">3. With the trump of God.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">C. Concerning those who are alive at the time.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. They are to be caught up "harpazo" snatched away by great force, "raptus."</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. We will meet the Lord in the air with our loved ones.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">3. We will be forever with the Lord.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. While He is in heaven receiving title deed for earth, we will be in heaven.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. When He returns to earth for thousand-year reign we will return to earth.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">c. When this system is destroyed and He creates the new heaven and earth, we will be with Him.</div>
<div class="SSN_rnum">II. WHEN WILL THE RAPTURE TAKE PLACE?</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">A. As a thief in the night.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. <a onClick="return mV('Mat',24,43);">Matt. 24:43</a>, "If the owner knew the hour a thief was going to strike..."</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. <a onClick="return mV('Rev',3,3);">Rev. 3:3</a>, to Sardis, "I come as a thief." "If you are not watching..."</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">3. The whole idea is that we should be watching and not be caught by surprise.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">B. "When they shall say peace and safety."</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. More talk and hope for peace than any time since Israel established as nation.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Peace accord with Egypt. </div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. Breakthrough in Salt agreements with Russia.</div>
<div class="SSN_rnum">III. WHAT SHOULD BE OUR ATTITUDE AS CHILDREN OF THE LIGHT?</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">A. Watching for our Lord.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Not watching for anti-Christ or beginning of tribulation.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">B. Not sleeping as others do.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. The world around us is sedated.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Caught up in pursuit of pleasure.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. Word of God choked out by the cares of world, deceitfulness of riches, but of others things.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">C. Sober.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. We are living in sobering days.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Keep our minds clear.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">D. Be filled with faith, love and hope.</div>
