Probably most believers here would agree that the Body of Christ is `caught up,` at some point, but disagree on the `WHEN,` the timing - `pre, mid, post` etc. And there are plenty of threads to discuss these views. However this topic is concerned with the big `WHY.` I can think of at least 10 good reasons (& there are probably more) as to WHY the Body of Christ is `caught up.` `But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you should sorrow as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died & rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who are asleep in Jesus. For we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive & remain until the coming of the Lord will be no means precede those who are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, & with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive & remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.` (1 Thess. 4: 13 – 18) So my question for discussion is - `WHY` is the Body of Christ `caught up?` What reason/s do you see that the Body of Christ is `caught up?` Looking forward to your answers.
