THE MEANING OF THE WORD "RAPTURE" & "HOW TO BE SAVED/BORN AGAIN"
The word
rapture doesn’t appear in the Bible. While it is true that the English word
rapture doesn’t appear,
the concept of the rapture of the church is certainly present.
See following scripture from the King James Version Bible:
((1Thessalonians 4:15-18 --- 15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep (dead in Christ). 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up togetherwith them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.))
FirstThessalonians 4:16–17 (the definitive passage on the rapture of the church) says that the Lord will descend from heaven and the dead in Christ will rise first; then we who are alive and remain will be “
caught up. ”The word
rapture”, is derived from “
rapio” (
to catch up or snatch away or a carrying away), a form of which is found in the Latin Vulgate Bible. To say the rapture won’t happen because the word isn’t found in Scripture is a false argument. The phrase
second coming isn’t found in the Bible either, but the reality of it certainly is.
NOTE: Also not in the bible is the word, “The Trinity”, ONE God who exists as three distinct Persons - The Triune Godhead, but Jesus said in (Matthew28:19 –
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost).
THEDIFFERENCE BETWEEN {{THE RAPTURE}} and {{THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST}}:
1) At the rapture, believers meet the Lord
inthe air (
1Thessalonians 4:17). At the second coming, believers
return with the Lord to the earth (
Revelation19:14).
2) The
second coming occurs
after the great and terrible
tribulation (Revelation chapters 6–19). The
rapture occurs
before the
tribulation (
1Thessalonians 5:9;
Revelation 3:10).
3) The
rapture is the
removal of believers from the earth as an act of
deliverance (
1Thessalonians 4:13-17,
5:9). The
second coming includes the
removal of unbelievers as an act of
judgment (
Matthew 24:40-41).
4) The
rapture will be
secret and instant (
1Corinthians 15:50-54). The
second coming will be
visible to all (
Revelation1:7;
Matthew 24:29-30).
5) The
second coming of Christ will not occur
until after certain other end-times events take place (
2Thessalonians 2:4;
Matthew 24:15-30; Revelation chapters 6–18). The
rapture is
imminent; it could take place
at any moment (
Titus 2:13;
1Thessalonians 4:13-18;
1Corinthians 15:50-54).
The rapture and second coming are similar but
separate events. Both involve Jesus returning. Both are end-times events. However, it is crucially important to recognize the differences. In summary,
the rapture is the return of Christ
in the air toremove
all believers from the earth
before the time of God’s wrath.
The second coming is the return of Christ to the earth to bring
the 7 year tribulation to an end and to
defeat the Antichrist and his
evil world empire.

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good...
