11. Paul himself believed that the Rapture was imminent even in h<strong>is</strong> day. That<br />
<strong>is</strong> why he includes himself in h<strong>is</strong> letter to the Corinthians in 1 Cor. 15:51 when<br />
he says:<br />
“Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall <strong>not</strong> all sleep, but we shall all be<br />
changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet, <strong>for</strong> the<br />
trumpet shall sound, <strong>and</strong> the dead shall be ra<strong>is</strong>ed incorruptible, <strong>and</strong> we shall be<br />
changed.”<br />
Imminency of the Rapture can be seen in Romans 13:11-12:<br />
“And th<strong>is</strong>, knowing the season, that already it <strong>is</strong> time <strong>for</strong> you to awake out of<br />
sleep: <strong>for</strong> now <strong>is</strong> salvation nearer to us than when we first believed. <strong>The</strong> night <strong>is</strong><br />
far spent, <strong>and</strong> the day <strong>is</strong> at h<strong>and</strong>: let us there<strong>for</strong>e cast off the works of darkness,<br />
<strong>and</strong> let us put on the armor of light.”<br />
