PVM: How will the Rapture happen?
What will the rapture really look like, and will the whole world see it?
In this gripping teaching, Apostle Williams unpacks the biblical mechanics of the rapture, presenting it not as a secret event for Christians alone, but as a visible, global manifestation of Christ’s return. Drawing from Matthew 24:29-31, he describes how the sun will be darkened, the moon will cease to give its light, and the “sign of the Son of Man” will appear in the midst of this universal darkness—prompting every nation to mourn as they see Him coming in power and glory. Far from a silent disappearance, the rapture will involve angels gathering the elect with a loud trumpet call, echoing 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17, where the dead in Christ rise first and the living are caught up together to meet the Lord in the air. Apostle Williams challenges the notion of total unpredictability, noting that while no one knows the exact “day or hour” (Matthew 24:36), the Holy Spirit can reveal the season to those walking closely with God.
The message carries a strong call to spiritual readiness and holy living. Referencing 1 Thessalonians 5:1-6, Apostle Williams explains that the “thief in the night” warning applies to those in darkness, not to believers who are “sons of light” and should remain alert, sober, and prepared. He warns that there will be a separation of sheep and goats within the church itself, urging Christians to shun sin, worldliness, and spiritual complacency. Citing Matthew 24:44 and Luke 19:13, he exhorts the faithful to “occupy till I come,” staying active in God’s work while trusting in His promise that believers are not appointed to suffer wrath (1 Thessalonians 5:9). The overall call is urgent yet hopeful—live ready, walk in holiness, and look forward to the glorious day when we are caught up to meet Him.
