Then together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Then we will be with the Lord forever.
-1 Thessalonians 4:17(NLT)
MEETING JESUS IN THE CLOUDS
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you visualize how it would be on the day of the Lord’s coming?
There will be much joy to believers and those who are faithful
Christ will show himself to all while he is descending
The announcement will be delegated to the archangel.
First, he will command those who have died to arise
Then, he will call all those who are still alive
There will be a grand meeting up in the clouds
Jesus will lead all the faithful to rise with him up above.

I am a visual person and I once saw a painting of the day of the Lord’s coming from an Asian artist. I had memorized in my heart and mind that this artist’s interpretation of what will really happen. When I saw this painting, I didn’t study much the bible, but now that I do, I realize how accurate his interpretation of end times was.
I used to be scared to think of the end times but now that I know that the saints will meet Jesus in the clouds, I am looking forward to it with much excitement.
PRAYER
Lord, help me prepare for your second coming.
REFLECTION
What have you done to make yourself ready for Christ’s second coming?
