When He appears! 1.Pet.1:7 That the ((trial of your faith)) being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be ((tried)) with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and (glory) at the ((appearing)) of Jesus Christ. The word (trial)#1383; it means a testing, trustworthiness, trying, test, trustiness, proof. The word (tried)#1381; it means to test, by implying to approve, discern, examine, try. (These words true meanings show that our FAITH will be tested! This verse says that our FAITH might be found unto praise and honour and (glory) ((AT THE APPEARING OF JESUS CHRIST)). So our FAITH will be tested just before the appearing of Jesus Christ. Col.3:4 When Christ who is our life, SHALL APPEAR, then shall ye also appear with him in (glory). 1.Pet.5:4 And when the chief Shepperd SHALL APPEAR ye shall receive a crown of (glory) that fadeth not away. 1.Jn.3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when HE SHALL APPEAR, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. ((Many verses say when He appears, or at His appearing, also many verses speak of (glory) at His appearing, when does He appear? And appear with (glory)? Mt.24:29-31 (29) Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken, (30) ((And then)) SHALL APPEAR the sign of the Son of man in heaven; and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great (glory). ((He APPEARS with power and great GLORY)) (31) And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. All these verses are in alignment perfectly with Matthew.24:29-31, which is His appearing in the clouds, that is the rapture of the church.
