Not sure where you stand on this issue but because of what's was going on at my old church I felt like it was a topic I want to talk about. After showing you evidence of the Rapture of the Church in the Bible decide for yourself what you believe. I didn't realize there were people that DIDN'T believe in the Rapture of the Church. Well, it turns out that the word 'Rapture' isn't in the English version Bibles because the word was originally in Greek or 'Harpazo'. It was translated into 'caught up' for English. Click on the attached link from the Blue Letter Bible website to see when and where the expression is used.
As to when 'The Church' will be Raptured/Caught Up into the clouds to meet Jesus, the following is word for word what it says in the New King James Version Bible: "For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words." 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18
One thing I've learned so far about being a Christian is that we are to do our own research if we want to understand the Bible. In Joshua 1:8 it says: "This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success".
A couple other quotes I found in the Bible that refers to the Rapture and Jesus seeing us in Heaven are:
"And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also." - John 14:3
and
“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only. But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming. But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect." - Matthew 24:36-44
"I tell you, in that night there will be two men in one bed: the one will be taken and the other will be left. Two women will be grinding together: the one will be taken and the other left. Two men will be in the field: the one will be taken and the other left.”
And they answered and said to Him, “Where, Lord?”
So He said to them, “Wherever the body is, there the eagles will be gathered together.”
SO ARE YOU READY? DO YOU WANT TO TAKE THE CHANCE OF BEING LEFT BEHIND?
