“Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ” (Titus 2:13).

Christ could return to catch away the Church, the Body of Christ, at the Rapture anytime, day or night. We are to be “looking” for Him always. We may somehow imagine that the Lord is going to come at noonday to catch us away to heaven. It may or may not be daytime in the United States when this great event takes place. It is going to be nighttime in a lot of places around the globe when the Lord returns. Thus, it may be in the evening, at midnight, or three o’clock in the morning in the United States when He comes.

As we are faithfully “looking for that blessed hope” and are always ready, we should remember when we go to bed that the Rapture could happen in the middle of the night when we are sound asleep. But what a great way to be awakened with “a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God” (1 Thes. 4:16)!
