What is the rapture, and why is it hard for people to understand?

The rapture is the sudden taking away of all believers. It is hard for people to comprehend because they cannot understand how God will accomplish such a sudden removal. Scripture indicates the wicked shall not understand, and the unsaved world lacks concept of fulfilled prophecy.

Les explains that the rapture is the sudden taking away of all believers. He notes that this is hard for people to comprehend because they cannot understand how God will do it. To illustrate, he describes going out on a clear starry night and looking at the mass of stars—just a part of our Milky Way galaxy, which alone has billions upon billions of stars, and there are billions of galaxies. This vastness shows God's ability to accomplish the sudden removal. Les also observes that the unsaved world has no concept of how accurately the Book is being fulfilled, and the wicked shall not understand. He believes the Bible from cover to cover because fulfilled prophecy confirms it is supernatural.
