Isaiah 57:1 KJV
The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.
This passage is prophetical of the rapture. The ungodly of this world may believe that righteous people perish. They may view our low estate so far as the things of the world are concerned, they may see that we are persecuted and oppressed by the god of this world and they may believe that we perish. The godly are afflicted and, because they believe we deserve because we hold to such superstitions as the Word of God, they do not take it to heart.
They do not consider reasons for our faith
They do not care for us and for the things we endure
But then we are taken away. We are removed from this world.
It may be by untimely death
It may be by rapture to glory
But when that day (of the rapture) happens, the Bible says this world will not consider, will not realize, will not understand that in fact the Lord has in fact taken us away from the evil that will come upon this world.
We might perish so far as the things of this world are concerned, but the child of God need never worry that he will perish eternally as will the ungodly, who will not give their eternal state a second thought.
