Rapture of the Church

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 wanted to talk about. After showing you evidence of the "Rapture of the Church" in the Bible, decide for yourself what you believe. After becoming a Christian and reading what the Bible said, 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/Believers in Jesus' 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:
"Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. / For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not from the Father but from the world. / The world is passing away, along with its desires; but whoever does the will of God remains forever."
- 1 John 2:15-17
This passage (1 John 2:15-17) means that if you love your life here on Earth you won't be welcomed in Heaven but if you hate this world you will live an Eternal life (remains forever) in Heaven with Jesus.
"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
SO ARE YOU READY? DO YOU WANT TO TAKE THE CHANCE OF BEING LEFT BEHIND?
