can some one please explain to me about the rapture, in details?

Answer 1

don't waste your time.

the word rapture doesn't even appear in the bible.

some religious fanatics slapped a name on some loosely tied together ramblings in the bible and called it the rapture. they then elaborated on it and someone made a book series and now its super popular.

Answer 2

The rapture is not a Bible teaching. Men misinterpreted scriptures which talk about the annointed who are still on earth after Armegeddon and how they will be transferred to heaven in an instant. Unfortunate for the confusion as it causes more confusion among those who listen to them.

Answer 3

Story number one:

ARKANSAS CITY (AP) —
A Little Rock woman was killed yesterday after leaping through her moving car's sun roof during an incident best described as "a mistaken rapture" by dozens of eye witnesses. Thirteen other people were injured after a twenty-car pile up resulted from people trying to avoid hitting the woman who was apparently convinced that the rapture was occurring when she saw twelve people floating up into the air, and then passed a man on the side of the road who she claimed was Jesus.

"She started screaming "He's back, He's back" and climbed right out of the sunroof and jumped off the roof of the car," said Everett Williams, husband of 28-year-old Georgann Williams who was pronounced dead at the scene. "I was slowing down but she wouldn't wait till I stopped," Williams said.

She thought the rapture was happening and was convinced that Jesus was gonna lift her up into the sky," he went on to say. "This is the strangest thing I've seen since I've been on the force," said Paul Madison, first officer on the scene. Madison questioned the man who looked like Jesus and discovered that he was dressed up as Jesus and was on his way to a toga costume party when the tarp covering the bed of his pickup truck came loose and released twelve blow up sex dolls filled with helium which floated up into the air.

Ernie Jenkins, 32, of Fort Smith, who's been told by several of his friends that he looks like Jesus, pulled over and lifted his arms into the air in frustration, and said , "Come back here," just as the Williams' car passed him, and Mrs. Williams was sure that it was Jesus lifting people up into the sky as they passed by him, according to her husband, who says his wife loved Jesus more than anything else.

When asked for comments about the twelve sex dolls, Jenkins replied "This is all just too weird for me. I never expected anything like this to happen."

Story number two:

Many Christian fundamentalists feel that concern for the future of our planet is irrelevant, because it has no future. They believe we are living in the End Time, when the son of God will return, the righteous will enter heaven, and sinners will be condemned to eternal hellfire. They may also believe, along with millions of other Christian fundamentalists, that environmental destruction is not only to be disregarded but actually welcomed--even hastened--as a sign of the coming Apocalypse.

Answer 7

First you will not find the word "rapture" in the bible, but it's defination means to assend upward.

Revelation 4:1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.

In this scripture Jesus is calling His Church/bride upwards into heaven with Him, and then will show us Christians who were called by Jesus into heaven what will happen on earth next.

When Jesus takes His church/bride home, He will first call those He reffers to as the Dead In Christ. These are all those who died before Jesus was crucified for our sins, but lived by God's laws, and are awaiting for the day of rapture to be called upward to heaven by Jesus.

1 Thessalonians 4:16 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:

After the dead has gone upwards to heaven, then all the Christians/ bride of Jesus go next.

Revelation 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.

Revelation 21:9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.

Everyone who did not accept Jesus as their personal Savior before Jesus returns for His church/bride, shall be left behind to suffer at the hand of God, and they will then realize that they were wrong all along and it will be too late for them

1 Philippians 2:10-11 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

After those who were left behind tries to call out to God, He will say this to them..

Matthew 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity

Those who go to heaven, after all is done with the earth and it's evil, will have not memory of their former lives or what they saw.

Ecclesiastes 1:11 There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after.

What we are going to see in the tribulation days that we are now living in God says this...

Matthew 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

Continue to study your bible and repent daily of your sins, and be ready for Jesus return in our life time. Praise the Lord!!
