What is Rapture.?

Question

My name is vivek

Answer 1

Actually the Rapture IS indeed mentioned in the Bible. Although the past answer is correct in that there is some disagreement between different Christian denominations as to how it will occur exactly. 1 Corinthians Chapter 15 verses 51-53 says: "But let me tell you a wonderful secret God has revealed to us. Not all of us will die, but we will all be transformed. It will happen in a moment, in the blinking of an eye, when the last trumpet is blown. For when the trumpet sounds, Christians who have died* will be raised with transformed bodies. And then we who are living will be transformed so that we will never die. For our perishable earthly bodies must been transformed into heavenly bodies that will never die."

So there is no mention of flying away, but this talk of the dead being raised with new bodies, and the living having their bodies "transformed" is what the Christians consider to be the "RAPTURE" Which literally means "joy" or "bliss".

Hope that helps, it is quite possible that different editions/versions of the Bible will change the wording a bit, but that's it in a nut shell!

Answer 2

It an eschatological view of some christians known as premillenialists (also known as dispensationalists). The basic precept is that prior to the coming of the great tribulation, which is marked by the revelation of the identity of the antichrist, Jesus will take up all the true Christians from the Earth to (some say heaven others say a pre-heaven realm.) Christians, in this view, will not experience the great tribulation. Scholars believe this eschatology first became popular during the 3rd wave revivals of the 1800s. The urgency of the message and the technique of evangelism convinced and continues to convince many followers, especially in the Evangelical movement. However, amongst Christians the biblical validity of the rapture is a highly debated issue.

Answer 3

The Rapture is a fictional belief, held strongly by many contemporary Christians, based on the delusions of a 15-year-old Irish-Scottish girl. It has gained wide acceptance in recent times due to the inclusion of it in modern literature.
