The full text of this tract for believers is shown below in the KJV version. The word “rapture” means “the joyous act of being transported, caught away or caught up from one place to another place.” Although this word itself is not found in the Bible, the joyous hope of believers in the Lord Jesus being transported from earth to heaven is described for us in many Scriptures. In fact, in 1 Thessalonians 4:17, the words “caught up” are used to speak of that time when all believers shall be taken home to heaven. This happy moment has also been called “the Lord’s coming for His people” but more often it is simply called the “rapture” because that one word so perfectly tells us what takes place when all believers are transported to their true home in heaven. The three major portions of Scripture which describe the rapture are found in John 14:1-3, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17, and 1 Corinthians 15:51-56. In examining each of these portions of Scripture carefully we discover the following truths about the rapture: 1. The secret of the rapture. The rapture was not revealed in the Old Testament Scriptures. It was a mystery, or secret, hidden until the New Testament times. The Lord Jesus first spoke of it in John 14 and later the Holy Spirit, through the apostle Paul revealed more of the truths about the rapture. The word “mystery” in the Bible usually refers to a truth previously not revealed (see Ephesians 3:4,5). The Old Testament Scriptures often spoke of the Lord’s coming to earth as a judge to set up His kingdom, but never directly of His coming in the air to take His people home to heaven. 2. The object of the rapture is the fulfilling of the deep desire of the Lord Jesus to have believers with Himself in heaven. “I will come again, and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also” (John 14:3; John 17:24). 3. The subjects of the rapture will be all living Christians at the time of the rapture and all those who have died in Christ which includes all Old Testament saints as well as New Testament saints (1 Thessalonians 4:16,17). 4. The certainty of the rapture is based upon the unchanging word of God. In John 14:3 the Lord Jesus says, “I will come again, and receive you unto Myself.” In 1 Thessalonians 4:15 Paul says, “For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord.” 5. The One who raptures or catches away believers is none other than the Lord Himself. He will not send an angel to do this for Him but “the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven” (1 Thessalonians 4:16). 6. The call of the rapture will be the assembling shout of the Lord, the voice of the archangel and the trump of God. Only saved ones will hear that shout (1 Thessalonians 4:16). 7. The manner of the rapture is described for us in 1 Thessalonians 4:16,17. The Lord Jesus will not come to earth as He will do when He comes to judge the earth at the end of the tribulation period. Dead and living saints will be “caught up together … in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air.” 8. The speed of the rapture is recorded for us in 1 Cor. 15:52. “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye.” The word “moment” in the Greek denotes an indivisible amount of time. No unsaved person will witness this event. 9. The changes that take place at the time of the rapture will be in the bodies of believers. Their bodies will be changed to be like the body of glory which the Lord Jesus now has (Philippians 3:20,21). The spirits and souls of those who have died in Christ are now with the Lord Jesus in heaven and their bodies are asleep (see Luke 23:43; 2 Corinthians 5:8 and Philippians 1:23). The spirits and souls of these dead saints will be united with glorified bodies while the bodies of living believers will also be changed at the same moment to be like the Lord Jesus (1 Corinthians 15:51-57). “We shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is” (1 John 3:2). 10. The time of the rapture is not given to us in the Scriptures. It may occur at any moment. In fact the Thessalonian believers were momentarily expecting the rapture when they lived (1 Thessalonians 1:9,10). The apostle Paul was waiting for that return. When he writes of the Christian’s hope in 1 Thessalonians 4:17, he includes himself: “Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up.” The rapture is very different from the Lord’s coming to earth to judge the world and set up His kingdom. That coming, which takes place after the rapture, is often called His appearing because at that time He will appear on earth. Before this appearing can occur certain events will take place as signs to show that the appearing is near. Most of these events or signs are given for us in Matthew 24 and 2 Thessalonians 2. But there are no signs connected with the Lord’s coming in the air to receive His people to Himself. The rapture is a signless event. There is no prophecy that has to be fulfilled before the rapture takes place. We repeat, it may take place at any moment. 11. The nearness of the rapture. As we look at world events today in the light of the Bible we see the stage being set for the appearing of the Lord Jesus. Because the rapture precedes the appearing (Revelation 3:10) we believe that the time for the rapture is very near. The Lord Jesus says three times in Revelation 22, “Behold, I come quickly” (Revelation 22:7,12, 20). 12. The response of the believer to the rapture should be as we read in Rev. 22:20, “Even so, come, Lord Jesus.” The reality of this response will manifest itself in our lives by separating us in heart and in spirit from the world and worldly things and by compelling us to tell others the good news of the gospel. (See 1 John 3:3; 2 Timothy 4:5.) 13. Finally, the blessing of the rapture will be that we shall “ever be with the Lord” (1 Thessalonians 4:17). —John D.

The full text of this poetry tract card is shown below in the KJV version. My life is but a weaving Between my Lord and me, I cannot choose the colors He worketh steadily. Oft times He weaveth sorrow And I in foolish pride Forget He sees the upper And I, the underside. Not till the loom is silent And the shuttles cease to fly Shall God unroll the canvas And explain the reason why. The dark threads are as needful In the Weaver's skillful hand As the threads of gold and silver In the pattern He has planned. –B.M. Franklin “When that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.” 1 Corinthians 13:10-12 “Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew Him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is. And every man that hath this hope in Him purifieth himself, even as He is pure.” 1 John 3:1-3 The full text of this poetry tract card is shown below in the ESV version.

'Spaceclear' is a room/aura spray made with the vibrational energy signatures of: Douglas Fir, Blue and Desert Sage, Opononax Myrhh, Sea and Epsom salts With the addition of drops of Doterra essential oils: Lavender, Black Pepper, Frankincense and Douglas Fir. To use for clearing your space of energies - for example, whether after a house move, as a therapist between client visits, before or after healing sessions/workshops or meditation - or just a daily spray to 'reset' energy in the space. Makes a great gift for a new home owner. Ingredients: Water (64%) Alcohol (33% Vodka) Doterra Essential Oils (3%) - Alchohol by Volume/ABV 12.9% Spray into Room or Aura as required. External use. If spraying aura mist away from the body above the head and walk into the mist as it descends. ------------------------------- Story behind this Essence: I was already working with Douglas Fir oil and noticing an incredible lightness about it - so when looking for smudge sticks, discovered a Douglas Fir, and a Blue Sage (as blue ray into anything blue!) and wondered if I could make a vibrational spaceclearing spray with the vibration of douglas fir and sage. I decided to add the salts, which are well known space clearers to absorb and protect, and the Opononax Myrhh which is another 'heavy duty' clearer of energy. The mother essence/and spray is made with Vodka, which smells of less alcohol than the Brandy I normally use for essences - and added the Doterra essential oils: Douglas Fir (as described above), Black Pepper (which is another oil known to clear energy), Lavender (for its fresh clean uplifting but calming influence) and Frankincense (which is very special and was also to compliment the Myrrh). The idea is for the Douglas Fir, Lavender and Frankincense oils to bring in the good energies to replace those being cleared. ------------------------------- Please note the spray is a holistic well being product, not designed as a replacement for any medications or professional medical help. I am always delighted to hear more feedback from users of the sprays and essences, so please do get in touch, either here or on my facebook page, with your experiences as it will help develop the essences. Crystal essences are an ideal way to 'store' the vibrational benefits of a crystal - and offer a sustainable solution as one crystal can reach many individuals through the essence. It also enables people to buy an essence at an affordable price of a much more expensive or rare crystal. I hope to send out within 24 hours of your order when possible, sometimes I will make up your essence bespoke, so have allowed some extra time in the delivery slot - I will contact you when the parcel has been sent. Please let me know if you need faster/express delivery and I can let you know any additional costs. Caireen Todd Bluestone Vibrational Essences facebook.com/caireentodd
