And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
Ephesians 4:30
For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
Romans 8:22-23
The Day of Redemption, all creation waits for it. What is it, and when does it occur?
The Day of Redemption is when we receive all the benefits of salvation: our new incorruptible, immortal bodies.
1 Corinthians 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
The Day of Redemption takes place at the rapture, or translation, of the saints, when all the saints shall rise and meet the Lord in the air. At that time, our bodies will be changed and become incorruptible and immortal. Many believe that there is no rapture or translation of the Church, but they are greatly mistaken or deceived.
Romans 8:19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
The Rapture does not take place in secret; the saints will be manifested by their conspicuous absence.
