It is late, and time for bed, but wanted to at least get started.

I John 3:3 tells the reader that those who have the hope of the Rapture purify themselves.

Paul said in I Thessalonians 5:11 that Christians should  comfort and edify, or strengthen, one another with this teaching of the imminent snatching away of all believers beginning with the dead in Messiah first.
