Pre-Tribulation Rapture

¹⁹But those who die in the LORD will live; their bodies will rise again! Those who sleep in the earth will rise up and sing for joy! For your life-giving light will fall like dew on your people in the place of the dead!

²⁰Go home, my people, and lock your doors! Hide yourselves for a little while until the LORD’s anger has passed.

²¹Look! The LORD is coming from heaven to punish the people of the earth for their sins. The earth will no longer hide those who have been killed. They will be brought out for all to see.

¹Gather together — yes, gather together, you shameless nation.

²Gather before judgment begins, before your time to repent is blown away like chaff. Act now, before the fierce fury of the LORD falls and the terrible day of the LORD’s anger begins.

³Seek the LORD, all who are humble, and follow his commands. Seek to do what is right and to live humbly. Perhaps even yet the LORD will protect you — protect you from his anger on that day of destruction.
