How soon could the rapture happen according to Les?
According to the teaching, the rapture could occur imminently—perhaps before this day, this year, or this century ends. It requires faith to believe in the sudden disappearance of millions, but Scripture declares it will happen, and the time is near for believers who are watching.
Les teaches that the rapture could happen very soon—maybe today, maybe tonight, maybe before this year is over, or before this century is over—and he says we are getting close. He explains that while he enjoys life and the things around him, he loves even more the thought of suddenly being in the realms of glory. He acknowledges it takes faith to believe there will be a sudden disappearance of millions of people, and that scoffers may question it, but for believers it is an exciting prospect because the Word declares it is going to happen. He also connects this to Paul’s statement that if this body goes back to the earth, one day in resurrection it will be clothed with a new body from heaven.
