Do you believe in the rapture?

Answer 1

The word rapture is not in the bible and I do not use it because it is not possible to know the true meaning of it.

John 6:39,40,44,54-58[raised up]; Acts 1:11[Jesus taken up];
1Thes.4:15-17[the dead in Christ shall rise first,they which are alive are caught up];

Rev,6:9-11[they are up at different times, so thousands can still be understood to be caught up];

Matt.27:52[the dead in the graves arose]; John 5:26-29[they in the graves shall hear his voice and come forth];

Dan.12:2[many of then that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake];

Rev.20:1-6,12,13; Heb.9:27; 2Cor.5:10; Those coming forth to the judgement day of before the redeemed priest of God and Christ that are of [heavenly or new heavenly Jerusalem] first resurrection, all other are of second resurrection for the new earth.

I do not see a rapture situation in the bible. Millions and billions do not go to new heavenly Jerusalem. Thousand go in the first resurrection and billions
will inhabit the new earth Matt.19:28[Eze.37:12-14; the 12 tribes return to their own land Isa.66:1,22; God will always have his footstool earth occupied Isa.45:18;

Answer 2

The rapture yes, but not a secret one. The Bible says the rapture will come with trumpet sound, Jesus shouting, and the dead raising. Do you think that would be easy to keep secret?

The rapture was invented by a teenage girl in 1830. It did not exist before that.

Answer 4

some rather superb prophecies have come actual, yet i don't believe any of them got here from Howard tenting. i don't believe of there is reason for difficulty. i do not save in recommendations the precise date, even if an same element got here about decrease back contained in the 1800's. Farmers did not difficulty to plant flowers, and human beings were having sex contained in the streets because they believed the proper became close to. It were given so undesirable that Joseph Smith, the prophet, testified contained in the call of Christ that he (Christ) does no longer come that 3 hundred and sixty 5 days. it ought to look stupid to us, yet thousands believed the note of a preacher, at the same time as they ought to have believed the note of the prophet. Joseph Smith prophesied that the celebrities would fall from heaven interior of 40 days. that easily did ensue on the fortieth day - November 13th, 1833 - the evening sky became superb with thousands of thousands of falling stars. human beings stayed up all evening and watched in amazement. In clinical words, the earth crossed the orbit of a comet. Atheists would in simple terms say he were given fortunate, yet Joseph became frequently "fortunate" in that way. He had many prophecies that got here actual to the letter. He instructed Orin Porter Rockwell, the federal marshal and gunfighter, that he would in no way be shot, and he in no way became. He instructed Dr. Richards that the day would come at the same time as bullets would rain down on him like hail, yet he would wade through a lot as a hollow in his outfits; Joseph became precise on both counts. He envisioned the civil conflict, and that the north and south would call on different international locations for help, and that the treaties between international locations would convey about a international conflict - all of which occured. He envisioned that Jackson County will be devastated, that the in undemanding words element left status often is the chimneys. The Union armies noted to that. He envisioned the cave in of the U. S. authorities. This prophesy turned right into a minimum of in part fulfilled because the U. S. became ruled through Whigs on the time. They lost potential and in no way received yet another election. The civil conflict would were about slavery to those contained in the North, even if it became more effective about freedom to those contained in the South. They feared that the U. S. authorities had already received too a lot potential over close by affairs. With the renounce of the South, "those usa of usa" grew to develop into "america of usa".
