How can God take away all believers at the rapture?
The rapture is the sudden taking away of all believers, a prospect people find hard to comprehend. The vastness of the starry heavens—billions upon billions of stars and billions of galaxies—illustrates that God's ability to perform it is far beyond human comprehension.
Les explains that the rapture is the sudden taking away of all believers, and he acknowledges that this is hard for people to comprehend; he asks how in the world God is going to do it. He then uses an analogy from a clear, starry night: looking at the mass of stars, we see only a small part of our own galaxy, the Milky Way, which has billions upon billions of stars, and there are said to be billions of galaxies. The illustration underscores that God's capacity is vastly beyond human understanding.
