In the New Testament, we find the apostle Paul writing that we should be eagerly awaiting the Return of Jesus Christ ( which occurs at the post-trib rapture event ).
Referencing
1 Corinthians. 1:7,
so that you are not lacking in any gift,
as you eagerly await the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Romans 8:23, 25
And not only this, but also we ourselves, having the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves,
waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our body.
24For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees? 25But if we hope for what we do not see,
with perseverance we wait eagerly for it.
Philippians 3:20-21
For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also
we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ;
21 who will transform the body of our humble state into conformity with the body of His glory, by the exertion of the power that He has even to subject all things to Himself.
and our resurrection or transformation that is going to happen upon His Return
( when He comes to Rule and Reign on the Earth see: Rev. 11:15-19).
Are you EAGERLY AWAITING His Return?
Saved by Grace,

"Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.
"Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.
And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works,
not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some,
but exhorting one another,
and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
Hebrews 10:23-25
