Raptures and Resurrections

How old is old? To a young child, old might be thirty years of age. To a middle-aged individual, old might be seventy-five years of age. To a senior-citizen, old might even stretch to one-hundred years of age . . . or more.

In either case, the allocated number of years that a man or a woman currently spends upon this planet is com-paratively very, very short. Click your heels together three times and blink your eyes, and it will all be over. And then what? Where do we go from here?

Where is John Wayne today? Where is Karl Marx today? Where is Liberace today? Where is Adolf Hitler today? Where is George Washington today? Where is Jesus Christ today? Where is great-great-grandpa today? Where are you going to be when your allotted time concludes, and the focal-plane shutter of your eyes dials down?

The Bible tells us that there is an everlasting eternity of time stretched out in front of us. Giving some serious thought about that, and considering what is going to happen to us when we far-too-quickly arrive there, would possibly be a good idea.

Walk with us, if you will, for a short stroll within the Scriptural accounts, through what has been a labyrinth to many. And let us glean what the God of all of creation has to say about events that lie ahead? You may be glad that you did.
