Rapture of the Holy Spirit


Believers are looking forward to the Rapture when we will be taken up in the clouds to be with the Lord. It occurs to me that not only will we be united with the Lord at that time, but the Holy Spirit dwelling within each of us will be raptured with us. The earth without believers is one thing; however, the earth without the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit is quite another. Paul said, “Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God’s people and members of God’s household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit” (Eph 2:19:22 NIV).
