With the Lord, a thousand years is as a day. My view is that they will experience the next seven years as though it were a few minutes. If your children are taken in the Rapture with you, will that mean that they never get a chance to have children of their own, never get a chance to lay up eternal rewards, and that they will miss the rest of their childhood and adolescence? While many people concentrate simply on the eternal destiny of the children of believers at the time of the Rapture, those other questions are more practical. Third, you do not ask about the more pressing questions. But God will deliver the children of believers so that they too do not go through the Tribulation wrath, just as He delivered the children of Lot, Noah, and Rahab. There is no specific verse that directly says that the children of believers are taken in the Rapture. Examples include Lot’s wife and two daughters, Noah’s wife and three sons and three daughters-in-law, Rahab the harlot’s entire family, etc. Second, there are many Scriptures which illustrate that when God saves believers from pending disaster, he also spares their children. So, whatever happens to your small children, they would not be condemned. See this article, which covers that issue as well as the age of accountability (and children and the Rapture, too). God does not hold people accountable for what they cannot do. I appreciate your wisdom on this question.įirst, we know that anyone unable to believe will not be eternally condemned. I have read some people on this but mostly from a Reformed perspective. What would happen to their souls if the Rapture were to happen tomorrow? Such a blessing! Currently neither of our children is capable of understanding the gospel, and therefore have not believed. My wife and I have a toddler, and my wife is pregnant with number two.
