G. Campbell Morgan discusses the significant events that will occur during the 'missing week' between Christ's return for His Church and His second coming. He emphasizes the fear and wonder that will grip those left behind, as well as the profound impact of the Church's removal on society, which will lead to both a rise in evil and a turning of many towards God. Morgan highlights the role of the Holy Spirit in restraining lawlessness and the eventual revelation of the Antichrist, while also assuring that a great multitude will come to faith during the tribulation. He concludes with a hopeful vision of the Church's purification and eternal union with Christ, amidst the chaos of the world.

Chuck Smith emphasizes the profound difference between death for Christians and non-Christians, describing it as a transition to be with Christ, which is far better. He explains the concept of the Rapture, where believers will be suddenly taken up to meet the Lord, and reassures that this event is distinct from the Second Coming. Smith encourages believers to be watchful and ready for the Rapture, highlighting the signs of the times, particularly the re-establishment of Israel. He warns against complacency and urges individuals to prepare their hearts for Christ's return, emphasizing the urgency of accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior. The sermon concludes with a call to readiness, reminding listeners of the hope and joy found in being part of the Church at the time of the Rapture.

Chuck Smith emphasizes the imminent return of Jesus Christ for His church, known as the Rapture, which will occur without warning before the Great Tribulation. He argues that believers should live in constant expectancy of this event, as it has significant implications for their faith and ministry. Smith clarifies misconceptions about the Rapture and the Second Coming, asserting that the church will not experience God's wrath during the Tribulation. He encourages the church to maintain a sense of urgency, purity, and hope in light of Christ's return, reminding them that they are not appointed to wrath but to salvation. Ultimately, he calls for believers to be ready and watchful, as the Rapture could happen at any moment.
