These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

The Rapture

The catching of The Bride away
will come just like a thief.
With lanterns trimmed, plus oil obey,
while others shake in grief.

The winds of change, tornado gale,
seems nothing, that we do
can stop the path, that's sure to fail,
until this day is through.

In just a moment some will fly
as others wonder, "What?"
Salvation comes, new birthing's cry
as Bible readers' taught.

The transformation comes by choice,
The Choice of God, Who saves. (John 6:44)
When saved by Him the souls rejoice,
no more in spirit graves. (John 6:37)

The Trumpet's sound, the cry, "Come Up!"
the saints are whisked away.
The Table's set with Him to sup,
it starts the lasting Day.
