Where in the Bible does it say the rapture will happen?

Question

I know it is in Revelation. Just what verse(s)?

Answer 1

It doesn't. Rapture is not mentioned anywhere in the Bible.

Answer 2

The rapture is not a 7th Day Adventist Church doctrine, it came from the teachings of John Nelson Darby as part of the Plymouth Brethen group.

The Rapture doctrine teaches that the saved will dissapear misteriously from Earth on a certain moment And that after that you still have 7 years to repent under the toughest circumstances (plagues).

It is wrong as the Bible teaches that the second coming of Jesus will not be a secret event and it will occur after the plagues.

Revelation 1:7 (King James Version) Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him...

Perhaps the verse you were looking for is this.

Matthew 24:39-41
39And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

40Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

41Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

Note however, the text does not say its secret. Its just depicting that not everyone will be taken and transformed when Jesus comes 1 Cor 15:52. Some will stay and perish.

Revelation 6
12 And I beheld when had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;

13And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

14And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

15And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;

16And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:

17For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

Answer 3

The rapture is the term that is given to the second coming of Christ. All of Revelations talks of the last days, I can't tell you what all of it means, because I have trouble understanding it myself. I won't pretend to know something that I don't. I pray for understanding, but until God thinks I need to know, I won't understand it. The one chapter that does talk about the New heaven and the new earth is chapter 21. Revelations was a vision that was given to St. John the Divine of the last days and the second coming of Christ.

Answer 4

What you are looking for can be found in the 7th chapter of Revelation in the King James Version of the Bible. The term "Rapture" is a coined term and is not referenced in the Bible.

Answer 5

It's not in Revelation. The concept of a "pre-tribulation" rapture of the saints can not be proved anywhere in Holy Scripture.

Read the book: End Time Delusions:

Will Christians vanish in a rapture? Will seven years of apocalyptic terror overtake those left behind? Will one future Mr. Diabolical—the antichrist—rise to control the world? Will he enter a rebuilt Jewish temple, claiming to be God? Will Earth's nations attack Israel at Armageddon? Best-selling books like Left Behind and popular apocalyptic movies predict such things. Are they correct?

No area of Christianity has been subject to more misguided interpretation than prophecy. Millions of Christians sense we are nearing Jesus Christ's return. Yet when it comes to what the majority thinks will happen during Earth's last days, and what the Bible actually says will occur, the difference is seismic.

With clarity and biblical accuracy, End Time Delusions exposes massive errors now flooding through media and in much of today's sensational prophecy writing. This book closely examines tightly meshed yet speculative theories about the rapture, seven-year tribulation, antichrist, and the modern Jewish state. This book is no novelty. Buttressed with solid teachings from many of Christianity's most illustrious scholars, it lets the Bible speak for itself about the past, present, and future.

Answer 6

The word "Rapture" comes from the Latin word "Rapare" which means to take away or to snatch out

1 Thessalonians 4:16-18
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.

caught up together with them in the clouds = rapture
