What do you think the rapture is?

Answer 1

Someones silly little dream of superiority.

Love and blessings Don

Answer 2

People have thought the end of the world is coming for thousands of years. A typical scenario is, the faithful dispose of the worldly goods, assemble on a mountain top and wait. Then morning comes as usual and they wish they had something for breakfast. It's a huge let down.

If you can feel rapture in a birds flight, in the color indigo, or in an intense communion with another human being you can be justly thankful. The intensity may not last forever, but it is more real than the end of world stuff.

Answer 3

a lie of satan. there is no such word "rapture' in the original manuscripts. i think some people may think the returning to CHRIST, i.e 'twinkling' is an imagined swooping of the saints into the air, when actually CHRIST is coming back to the mount of olives just like HE went up from it.

GOD'S election is here now, studying, waiting and watching for the time the HOLY SPIRIT shall speak through them.

no one is going anywhere. the millennium will be on this planet. GOD'S favorite place is jerusalem. that is what all the fighting is about-- control of the temple mount in jerusalem. satan wants GOD'S throne.

at the 7th trump we will ALL (good, bad, ugly) will lose our carnal bodies and will be changed into our spiritual bodies for the millennium.

the rapture doctrine is a dangerous one.

Answer 4

Gospel According to Saint Matthew
Chapter 6



33 Seek ye therefore first the kingdom of God, and his justice, and all these things shall be added unto you.

34 Be not therefore solicitous for tomorrow; for the morrow will be solicitous for itself. Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof.



The origins of the doctrine of the rapture are hotly debated. The Orthodox, mainline Protestant, and Roman Catholic churches (which represent the majority of Christians worldwide) have no tradition of such a teaching and reject the doctrine, in part because they cannot find any reference to it among any of the early Church fathers and in part because they do not interpret the scriptures the way that Rapture-believers do.

Answer 5

"Rapture" is track number eight on the 1980 album Autoamerican by Blondie. This was the second and final song to be released from the album, where it reached number five in the UK singles chart and number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. It was the first Hip-Hop song to ever reach number one in the world, and although it never made the top spot in the UK, is still a famous song to this day, and one of Blondie's most well known. The B-side to this single was "Walk Like Me", also from the album Autoamerican.

Although "Rapture" wasn't the first successful hip-hop/rap song (the Sugarhill Gang's 1979 hit "Rapper's Delight" reached the top 40 on the U.S. Hot 100 chart), it was the biggest rap hit for a number of years. Its lyrics were tame, even playfully nonsensical, even name dropping hip-hop pioneers Fab 5 Freddy and Grandmaster Flash (Freddy and graffiti artist Jean-Michel Basquiat made cameo appearances in the music video, one of the first broadcast on MTV). For a large segment of the population, it served as an introduction to the burgeoning hip-hop genre. This was arguably the first instance of a radio-friendly mainstream white pop act branching out into hip-hop (although Queen, and the Rolling Stones, amongst others, also put out hip-hop-influenced material during this time period).

Answer 6

The Rapture is a term used to describe a moment in future history unbeknown to man in which Jesus will "catch up" all the living saints of the Church in a moment, in a twinkling of an eye". The word "rapture" comes from the Greek word "rapare" which means "to snatch away or seize". Though the word itself is not used in Scripture to identify this event, it was considered as an apt way to describe 'a moment, in a twinkling of an eye", I suppose...

Answer 7

it is the Resurrection of the saints, or the changing of the living in the moment of the twinkling of an eye & to be translate up to meet Christ in the Air. The Word rapture is not in the bible, that is a term we use.

Answer 8

It's a day coming when God takes all the believers who are living into heaven. When he raptures up his church. And all those who have not repented of their sins and asked God for his forgiveness will be left behind.

The Left Behind books and movies are pretty good about explaining this.

Answer 9

A desperate delusion created by frightened people in the hope that they escape all the predicted tribulation described in their interpretation of a vaguely written piece of religious literature.

Answer 10

The next coming of Christ when He brings the souls of those who have fallen asleep in Him, raises their bodies, gathers all living saints also to Himself in the air and transforms them, then destroys the world with fire.

Answer 11

I'm well aware of it! The question to you,is do you be live,in my lord Jesus Christ will come again,for his people,and be caught up to be with him,and to return again for,the Millennium region,and the battle of Armageddon,henceforth Satan be thrown into the Lake Of Fire!!! Amen..
