where in the bible does it spell the word rapture?

Answer 1

Nowhere in the Bible !

Many Christians who do not agree that there will be a pre-tribulation rapture of the Church point out that it is a relatively new doctrine, first popularized in the 1800s and elaborated on subsequently. There are whole denominations that reject it for this reason. The Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox do not accept it either, as such a thing as "rapture" was never taught by any of their bishops, from the beginning. Instead of "being taken up into Heaven", these churches follow the scriptures (such as Isaiah) clearly describing a physical Kingdom of Heaven that will be on a renewed Earth, following the Great Tribulation, the Resurrection of the Dead, and Judgment Day. For all practical purposes no Christians held to the pre-tribulation rapture theory before Darby in the 1820s.

Answer 2

It is not a word of the Bible. It is what theologians call a "theological construct". That is, it describes an agreed upon happening which would take a lot of words to explain.

However, not everyone agrees about the details, but only that God will gather the righteous to Himself on a certain day.

Answer 3

This what the rapture depicts.

Matthew 24:29-31

29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

The tribulation of those days does not refer to the end of the seven year period of God's wrath on the earth.
It refers to the prediction that there will be wars and rumors of wars and earthquakes in diverse places, etc.

Answer 4

nowhere -Rapture is not a biblical event -Rapture was a "vision" from an Irish girl in the 1830's and she believed God sent her images of the rapture that was to take place in the future-so it was never any part of the Original bible--

Answer 5

1 Thesolonians

The words "caught up" in greek is "rapturos" which is where we get the English: Rapture.

Answer 6

The term "rapture" is not in the Bible and there is disagreement among Christians about it.

Answer 7

I Thessalonians ,Paul says "The dead in Christ shall rise first,then we who are alive and left will be "CAUGHT UP" to meet the Lord in the air"...
The word Caught Up is the Greek word Harpazo.When Jerome wrote his Vulgate from which the King James is based on he translated that word Harpazo to the Latin,Rapturos.Rapturos is the English word Rapture.The word Rapture simply means to be snatched away,which is what the Lord will do one day.

Answer 8

The answer is 1st thesalonians. The previous answerer is quite correct. It is the english transliteration of the word Rapturos which is the latin word for the greek word that is literally translated "Caught Up."

Answer 9

Nowhere. The rapture was invented well after the canonization.

Answer 10

I don't believe it does. If I remember correctly, the "rapture" was a common and popular play in medieval europe to get people to convert or to maintain their faith in christianity out of fear. As such, it is a christian invention typically used to convert others.
