The Word (who is Jesus) promises that the born again will by taken out of this world, the “Rapture” (from raptura to snatch like a raptor), cheating death, taken out to avoid the coming judgment on the world, so the Word teaches that because it indeed shall be, that the born again should comfort themselves and be encouraged in these words. If we are that generation, as many educated on the subject deem logical, then many of us will not taste death, truly a blessed generation, Jew and Gentile.
