We have considered the snatching away to be some super-powerful event, noisy, maybe electric, throwing off sparks, impressing the world, shocking us, rocketing us into a new realm. But this treats the snatching way as something almost unnatural, doesn't it? But is it unnatural?

The fact is that our snatching away from this earth and from mortality is a natural provision God has planned for us since before our births. Every moment of our lives thus far has been preparing us to at last become immortal. This will be but a "next moment" in our lives.

And that’s all it is, really, a “next moment.“ It is a provision of God as practical as the food, water, and sleep we have needed thus far. It is just that, entering this new phase of our lives, this is what we NOW need.

I love thinking of the snatching way as a natural, practical event. When it finally happens, it will fit us like a glove.

And so do not think it unusual that this thing will soon occur. What is unusual is that we have been suffering this long in these bodies of humiliation.
