What is the mystery Paul reveals about believers who never die?
Paul reveals in First Corinthians 15:51 that a group of believers at the end of the church age will not die physically. They will be alive when all things culminate and suddenly moved from here to there in a split second, joining resurrected dead believers to meet the Lord in the air.
Les teaches that this is the rapture, a Pauline doctrine found nowhere else in Scripture. In First Corinthians 15:51 Paul calls it a mystery, a secret never before revealed. Les explains that one group of believers at the end of the church age will not die physically but will be alive when everything comes to a culmination. They will be suddenly from here to there in a split second. At that time the dead believers of the church age will be resurrected and go up to meet the Lord in the air, and those still alive and remaining will follow. Les notes this is hard to comprehend and why unbelievers scoff, because it takes faith.
