2) When the rapture occurs, it will be a big surprise.
In less than a second there, right before their eyes.
Both dead and alive in Christ, old, adults, and youth.
These watched for The Lord's Return, received Gospel Truth.
3) When the rapture occurs, it will be a big surprise.
With shout and a trumpet blast, and archangels cries.
Christ said He would come again, receive these as His Own.
They're taken to The Bema Seat, at His Righteous Throne.
4) When the rapture occurs, it will be a big surprise.
Both the dead and alive in Christ, to the heavens, rise.
A reunion like no other there, joy will never end.
With Jesus Christ, their Savior, Lord, and forever, friend.
5) When the rapture occurs, it will be a big surprise.
All those who believed on Christ, look into His Eyes.
These are fathomless there, in bounds The Lord's Love.
He takes them to The Bema Seat, in Heaven, above.
6) When the rapture occurs, it will be a big surprise.
Visible only to those, with spiritual eyes.
Knowing Christ could return there, at morning, night, or noon.
From His Ascension, they all knew, He'd be returning soon.
7) When the rapture occurs, it will be a big surprise.
For the redeemed, Heaven's joys, fully in their eyes.
Receiving crowns at Bema Seat, all their voices raised;
That Jesus Christ, their Savior, Lord; is worthy of all praise.
8) When the rapture occurs, it will be a big surprise.
Far more will be left behind, believing Satan's lies.
They were laughing beforehand, not so anymore.
Just like when all were aboard, God shut the Ark's door.
9) When the rapture occurs, it will be a big surprise.
For the citizens of Earth, life's boat does capsize.
Evil no longer restrained, they have a field day.
True believers warning them, all now gone away.
10) When the rapture occurs, it will be a big surprise.
This doctrine of prophecy, most souls do despise.
To them, The Preaching Of The Cross, is foolishness and dumb.
But, Christ would not turn away, all who'd humbly come.
11) When the rapture occurs, it will be a big surprise.
Most sold their souls to Satan there, the lord of the flies.
Killer, liar, from the start; spreading all deceit.
Yet, it was there at The Cross, Satan met defeat.
12) When the rapture occurs, it will be a big surprise.
One second after it is done, there are screams and cries.
From all those there, left behind; who chose not to repent.
The one thing God requires is ''Believe On Christ, He Sent''.
13) When the rapture occurs, it will be a big surprise.
Both doctrines and Scripture Truth, unsaved man, denies.
The Rapture verifies the oldest secrets of God's Word.
Those left behind now realize, it's Truth, what they heard.
14) When the rapture occurs, it will be a big surprise.
None can enter Heaven there, no matter what he tries.
Your righteousness is as filthy rags, there before The Lord.
For His Word is sharper than any two edged sword.
15) When the rapture occurs, it will be a big surprise.
Christians in name only there, lives of compromise.
Just going through the motions there, in how they behave.
None of these repented there, and they were not saved.
16) When the rapture occurs, it will be a big surprise.
They all made a big mistake, these now, realize.
Left behind, and entering, The Great Tribulation.
Seven years of Hell On Earth, for every land and nation.
17) When the rapture occurs, it will be a big surprise.
For many souls there, spiritually, it is their demise.
Their hearts full of wickedness, evil there, so dark.
So, they spit in The Lord's Face, and there, take The Mark.
18) When the rapture occurs, it will be a big surprise.
Viewing of life now on Earth, it will traumatize.
Though many souls will come to Christ, others there, refuse.
This applies for all mankind, both Gentiles and Jews.
19) When the rapture occurs, it will be a big surprise.
Population of the Earth, will reduce in size.
It decreases rapidly, as the plagues do fall.
Seals, trumpets, bowls, exist; with the bitter gall.
20) When the rapture occurs, it will be a big surprise.
The events now round the clock, not just at sunrise.
It truly is the worse time, that the Earth has seen.
Millions of the saved, martyred, there by guillotine.
21) When the rapture occurs, it will be a big surprise.
God's Wrath now upon mankind, as He does, chastise.
The inhabitants of the Earth, for rejecting Christ.
Eternally, the lost souls, will pay a horrid price.
22) When the rapture occurs, it will be a big surprise.
All of the calamities, man could not devise.
Two witnesses, calling down, Divine Plagues, galore.
When man thinks all that is done, there is coming, more.
23) When the rapture occurs, it will be a big surprise.
Like Israelites long ago, they all spurned the spies.
So like when they were wandering there for forty years.
Judgment falls on many souls, hearts failing them for fear.
24) When the rapture occurs, it will be a big surprise.
Unless the Precious Blood Of Christ, on your soul applies,
You will be part of the great crowd, that is left behind.
All because they chose to be spiritually blind.
25) When the rapture occurs, it will be a big surprise.
Every eye will see The Lord, in Return from the skies.
All the tribes and nations that, on the Earth, will mourn.
Because these refused to spiritually, be reborn.
26) When the rapture occurs, it will be a big surprise.
With The Lord, you can not there, sin rationalize.
No guilt question, pardon, mercy, or hint of appeal.
Every sin you've ever done, will there, be revealed.
27) When the rapture occurs, it will be a big surprise.
At Judgment Of The Great White Throne, all your mercy cries,
Will be in vain, because you chose, to die in your sin.
You would not there make Christ, Your Lord; and be born again.
28) When the rapture occurs, it will be a big surprise.
Though repenting of sin may, get you, ostracized.
Citizenship in Heaven, and not upon the Earth.
This is only for the saved, who have had New Birth.
29) When the rapture occurs, it will be a big surprise.
To get your house in order, spiritually organize.
Know that you're a sinner there; your soul, you can't save.
By faith, believe Christ died for you, and rose up from the grave.
30) When the rapture occurs, it will be a big surprise.
Will you accept The Gospel Truth?? Or all Satan's lies??
Christ can be your best friend there, or your worst nightmare.
Before the rapture, or your death; you must now, prepare.
