Jesus Explains the End of Time Series: Outlasting the Darkness The Disciples asked the Lord when they could expect the end of the world to come, v. 3. Jesus tells them of the many things which will transpire in the last days, v. 4-35. Then, in verses 36-51, Jesus makes a plea for men to be ready to meet Him when He does come. Now, the second coming of Jesus is not one but two parts. Part one is an event that has come to be called the "Rapture". At this time, Jesus will call all those who have received Him as the Savior to come home to Heaven. At this time, He will raise those believers who have already died, and He will take those who are living on to Heaven to be with him forever. Part two will take place around seven years after part one. This event will see the return of Jesus in glory and power. He will descend upon the world an will defeat all of His enemies and will establish His Kingdom upon the earth. He will personally rule in peace and harmony for 1,000 years.
Of these two events, neither can said to be more important than the other, in the eternal scope of things. However, to those of us who are alive this evening, the Rapture is of the utmost of importance. Why? Because it is the next event on the prophetic calendar of God and it will happen. In fact, it could happen tonight, tomorrow, or at any time! Therefore, it is imperative that men understand the great need of being ready to meet the Lord when He comes.
