The Rapture, the Bride, and the Return of Christ | The Well Podcast S3E3

Studying the historical and cultural context of the Bible helps us better understand our relationship with Christ and what we should do while we wait for Him to return. The love story recorded in Song of Solomon depicts the three stages of a Hebrew wedding. This story gives us hope in the promise of the return of Christ.
In Hebrew culture, an engagement was binding and unbreakable. That’s the same as the covenant Christ made with us. Solomon would have told his bride that he would build a room for her and then return for her when it was ready. In the same way, the return of Christ will happen when God tells Jesus to go get His bride. While we wait, He wants us to prepare by being a chaste and holy bride.
What does it mean to be a chaste, holy bride? Sin makes us spiritual adulterers. Compromising with sin hurts our Bridegroom deeply. We practice holiness and prepare ourselves by keeping our hearts focused on Jesus. Saving our hearts solely for Jesus allows us to be prepared for the return of Christ.
Many people in Christian circles debate when and how the return of Christ will happen. The pattern of Scripture supports a Pre-Tribulation rapture. We must prepare like every day could be the day! The way you prepare is by saying “I do” to the One who said “I do” to you.
The good news of the gospel is that if you are in Christ, He no longer sees your sin! On the cross, He took our sin-stained robes and replaced them with a pure, clean, robe of righteousness. You can be ready for the return of Christ by saying yes to Jesus today!
