Christian Hope
The Hope
The sure hope of every Christian is the return of Jesus Christ to the clouds for the taking to Himself of His Universal Church.
The bodily resurrection of believers,
Those believers who have died in Christ, shall be bodily raised and shall with the living believers, be given resurrection bodies like unto Christ’s and shall then, together, rise in the clouds to meet Christ in the clouds, to then, return with Him to heaven, the abode of God, to the full enjoying of God to all eternity.
Timing
The scripture nowhere expressly states a specific time, day, or season for this the consummation of the Christian hope but teaches that it shall occur before those events described as the Tribulation, the Great Tribulation and the Millennial Kingdom of Christ.
