FLOYD ROGERS

It’s my understanding of Scripture that everything in history is moving toward one final purpose. The purpose is to bring glory to God through the Lord Jesus Christ. He reigns over everything: in heaven, on earth, and even beneath the earth. One day, at the time God has already decided, Christ will return. No one will be able to slow down or hurry this moment. It will happen exactly when God has planned.

When that day arrives, Jesus, who now sits at the Father’s right hand, will appear in the sky. There will be a loud command, the voice of an archangel, and the sound of God’s trumpet. At that moment, those who have died in faith will rise first. Then, those who are still living will be taken up to meet the Lord in the air. From that point on, they will be with Him forever.

Jesus holds authority over both life and death.

and the living One; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades.

Revelation 1:18
