When in a twinkling of an eye
When He splits that eastern sky
I'll be ready, I'll be gone
Hallelujah I'll be missing
Hallelujah I'll be gone
Come quickly Lord

When I hear that trumpet sound
When its tone shouts all around
I'll be ready, I'll be gone
Hallelujah, I'll be missing
Hallelujah I'll be gone
Come quickly Lord

When I hear that glorious shout
When my Lord will be all about
I'll be ready, I'll be gone
Hallelujah, I'll be missing
Hallelujah I'll be gone
Come quickly Lord

When the dead in Christ shall rise
When it will be no great surprise
I'll be ready, I'll be gone
Hallelujah, I'll be missing
Hallelujah I'll be gone
Come quickly Lord

When many will be left behind
When to weep, morn, and whine  
I'll be ready, I'll be gone
Hallelujah, I'll be missing
Hallelujah I'll be gone
Come quickly Lord

The next great prophetic event, on God's time table, is the "Rapture" of the Church. The catching away of God's people, to meet Jesus in the air. This event will be for God's people only. Those individuals, who by their faith have placed their trust in God's free grace, through Jesus Christ's redeeming death on the cross. (Ephesians 2:8-9) (John 3:16-17)   

This will be a sudden event, with no prior warning. And the event could occur at any time, as there are no prophecies need be fulfilled before this event occurs.

The dead in Christ will go first, then all we who remain will follow.(1 Thessalonians 4:13-18).

The apostle Paul again refers to the Rapture event as a mystery. And he gives us the same order of events, as he gave before. The dead in Christ first, follow by those believers who are alive.(1 Corinthians 15:51-55)

Sad to say, millions of individual non-believers in Christ  throughout the world,  will be left  behind. So, are you ready to go.
