Before I was told of His coming Rescue,

Heaven was a dream in my mind’s eye,

but then I heard about this generation,

and now all I wanna do is fly!

Dreaming of flying to heaven,

in transformation divine

ascending with His holy angels,

unlike any daydream;

ending the need of a sign!

To think of bypassing death;

forgoing toughing it out till the end of the game,

entering the pearly gates!

And never to forget again

from whence I came!

Oh, the knowledge of the Rapture

adds a whole new perspective to

the end of worldly strife,

not getting there through death,

but physical redemption  

and a whole new beginning in life!

Before I was told of His coming Rescue,

Heaven was a dream in my mind’s eye,

but then I heard about this generation,

and now all I wanna do is fly!

“Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near—at the doors! Assuredly, I say to you this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.” (Matthew 24:32-35)

Other references to Israel symbolized by the fig tree: Jeremiah 24:1-10 & Hosea 9:10

The redemption of our bodies: Romans 8:23

And we shall be instantly changed, but not through death:

“Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed—in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead in Christ will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on immortality. So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”

“O Death, where is your sting?

O Hades, where is your victory?” (1Corinthians 15:51-55)

Then later, sometime during the 7 year Tribulation, Jesus comes with His angels to Rapture the Jews: Revelation chapter 7 & 14:1-5

For the length of a generation and reference to their Rescue: Psalm 90:10

NKJV
