The age we live in is typically called the “church age” or “the dispensation of the Holy Spirit.” According to the Word, this age will end with something commonly called the Rapture, or the catching away of the church. Jesus will appear in the clouds, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are the believing church will rise to meet Him in the air....
Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed—in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
(1 Corinthians 15:51-52 NKJV)
