Rapture is when Jesus first of all comes back to collect all born again Christians, for a while non-believers or believers in other religions will be left behind.

The rapture is an eschatological (end times) event whereupon the return of Christ the true believers who are "alive and remain shall be caught up together with them [those who already died as Christians] in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air..." (1 Thess. 4:17). This is the time of the resurrection where the Christian receives his resurrected body. First to receive their new bodies are those who have died as Christians, and then "those who are alive and remain."

The sudden taking away of the believers..
spoken of in 1 thess chap 4:16
Jesus comes back and removes his church (the people) from earth to heaven..
called the rapture by people... Apostle paul calls it the sudden taking away of the elect--the church--.
just prior to the end of time (tribulation) and judgment.

"Rapture" is an invention of an English evangelist/author. No mention of the term in the Bible

It means a Nuclear Holocaust is coming. The bible teaches the World will be destroyed by 'Fire'.

It means they think Revelation is a real event that is coming in the future. They fail to realize that MILLIONS of people have come before them over the last 2,000 years and have also expected it in their own lifetimes. They are going to be sorely disappointed.
