Rapture means to forcefully, suddenly or supernaturally taken away.

TO BE AN AGENT OF RAPTURABLE FAMILY
We must come to term with the reality of the fleeting nature of this life.  Life is ephemeral

WE MUST BE WELL INFORMED ABOUT THE ISSUE OF END TIME
We are complacent about the end time issues.  We need to be knowledgeable, Jesus has come as saviour

HE MUST LIVE HIS LIFE IN DELIGHT OF ETERNITY
If husband is the type that engages in drunkenness, immorality, occultism, pool belting etc. he cannot be agent

HE MUST LOVE HIS FAMILY – wife, children and relation so well that he would want them to make heaven

He must not be oblivious of the terrible experience that those who miss the rapture will face. There will be terrible war of Armageddon

You must be born into the family of God
