What is the Rapture?

It describes an event in the future when Jesus Christ will in the twinkling of an eye (1 Cor 15:51), change all believers (living and dead) to immortal, giving them a resurrected body, and catching them up to meet the Lord in the air. People say the word 'Rapture' isn't in the Bible, and this is misleading. The term 'Rapture' comes from the Latin word for the event. This term has been coined for the event rather than the actual Greek word in the text. The Greek word is harpazo. It means to snatch or catch away, used of Paul in being caught up to Paradise, 2 Cor. 12:2, 4. The word is used in 1 Thess 4:16-17, and translated 'caught up'. So, regardless of the word we use to describe the event, it most definitely is a Biblical term. (As much as any English term is, since the Bible wasn't written in English)

The controversial issue today is to when the event will take place in relation to the time of the second coming and seven year tribulation. Of course the point is meaningless for those that don't believe in a literal 7 year tribulation, but for those of us that do, it is a very import issue. Evangelicals believe in a literal 7 year tribulation, and a literal return of Jesus Christ. Less agree on a literal 1000 year Millenium after the return of Christ, but our viewpoint in EndTimes.org is that they are both literal, and future events. As will be shown, EndTimes.org teaches a Pretribulation rapture, a literal 7 year tribulation, the return of Jesus Christ, and a literal 1000 year Millennial reign of Christ.

THIS ARTICLE WAS JUST A PLOY, REPEAT, THIS IS JUST BAIT TO CONFIRM YOU HAVEN"T ALL BEEN ABDUCTED . IT IS EERIE AROUND HERE.IT IS LIKE A GHOST TOWN AROUND HERE. I HAVEN"T BEEN CALLED IGNORANT IN 48 HOURS, HAVEN'T RECEIVED A NASTY EMAIL IN TWO DAYS. IF SOMEONE DOESN'T CALL ME A CRAZY CHRISTIAN WITHIN 1 HOUR STANDARD ROMAN TIME, I AM CALLING THE FEDS. LOL

    • Among people that believe in the rapture, there are actually three theories. Rapture will happen:

      One: before tribulation
      Two: mid-tribulation
      Three: After tribulation

      Then there are Christians that don't believe that they are going up in the sky at all. They are no less faithful mind you, just don't believe in a literal translation of the poorly done English translation of what is best read in Greek, a language that most of us don't know off hand. They are most likely having faith that Christ will return and the God has a plan, but it is unclear exactly what the details of said plan are, but we do know some. We know that the dead shall be raised at some point. We know of judgment, we know of many things. And to live a life so that it doesn't matter what God's plan is, we are fine by default.

      One could site countless phrases in the bible that when in Greek, they make a lot of sense, but when they were put into English back in the day, they lost a bit of their meaning.

      Sad, but any biblical scholar can confirm this.
