Can anyone tell me where in the bible does it speak of the Rapture.Please be sincere.?

Answer 1

The rapture as taught in the churches is not taught in the Bible.

In fact, the closest thing about anyone being taken away from the earth is found in Proverbs 2:21, 22 - "For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.
But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it."

The passages in 1 Corinthians and 1 Thessalonians are references to resurrection to heavenly life of those who will rule as kings and priests with Christ Jesus over those who inherit the earth.

Answer 2

The word "rapture" does not occur in the Bible. The concept of the Rapture, though, is clearly taught in Scripture. The Rapture of the church is the event in which God removes all believers from the earth in order to make way for His righteous judgment to be poured out on the earth during the Tribulation period. The Rapture is described primarily in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 and 1 Corinthians 15:50-54. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 describes the Rapture as God resurrecting all believers who have died, giving them glorified bodies, and then departing the earth with those believers who were still alive, who have also been given glorified bodies. "For the Lord Himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever" (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17).



1 Corinthians 15:50-54 focuses on the instantaneous nature of the Rapture and on the glorified bodies we will receive. "Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed - in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed" (1 Corinthians 15:51-52). The Rapture is the glorious event we should all be longing for. We will finally be free from sin. We will be in God's presence forever. There is far too much debate over the meaning and scope of the Rapture. This is not God’s intent. Rather, in regards to the Rapture, God wants us to “encourage each other with these words.”

Answer 4

It doesn't literally refer to a "rapture." At least, it doesn;t use that word.

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 [1] and in part because they do not interpret the scriptures the way that Rapture-believers do.

In conservative Protestant Christian eschatology, the rapture ("harpazo" in Greek in 1 Thessalonians 4:17) is the name given to the event in which all Christians living on earth are simultaneously transported to Heaven to be with Jesus Christ. This is a common belief among Fundamentalists, Evangelicals, Pentecostals, Baptists, and many independents. While almost all Christian groups believe that those who are saved will have eternal life, the term "rapture" is applied specifically to the event in which all Christians on earth simultaneously ascend to join Christ, and are transformed into immortal bodies. The concept was popularized since the 1830s, and recently since the 1970s, by proponents of the premillenialist, and in particular the dispensationalist interpretations of scripture. According to these theories, world events indicate that the fulfillment of prophecies of the end times is imminent, and that the rapture could take place at any moment.

Answer 5

I Thessalonians 4:13-18

Answer 6

in 1:Thessalonians 4:13-18, it is talking about Judgement Day, same as Revelation. People probably just got confused because there are a few different stories in the Bible. I really don't think that the "Rapture" is a separate event from anything else. I think it is simply branched off to far.
sorry if my answer isn't what you wanted.
best of luck!

Answer 7

im a christian and my faith truly believes in the 2nd coming of jesus christ. all Christian groups believe that those who are saved will have eternal life, the term "rapture" is applied specifically to the event in which all Christians on earth simultaneously ascend to join Christ, and are transformed into immortal bodies. The timing of when the rapture will take place is a key point often discussed and debated between denominations and individuals who accept the notion. The most common[citation needed] is that the rapture will take place immediately prior to the great Tribulation, a seven-year period preceding the second coming of Christ to the earth. Others propose that the rapture will take place either mid-way through the Tribulation, or after it when Christ comes to earth to establish his kingdom, taking over rulership of the world for 1000 years.
nobody knows exactly when God is going to come not even god's son jesus; but when he comes it will be in a blink of an eye.
read 1 Thessalonians 4:17 to see the signs to look for when the end times are near.

Answer 8

Although the rapture is an english word given to the end of days without Jesus as ruler, the Savior does explain what will happen. You will find detailed accounts about all that will take place in Matthew Chapter 24. There is reason to believe that we are the generation spoken about by Jesus Christ. May the Holy Spirit guide your study.

Answer 9

It is also in the Book of Revelation, the last book of the Bible.
There is a book by Tim Lahaye, the Left Behinds Series, the mention the Rapture as well. There is a Rapture, & am glad that I have the Lord Jesus as my personal Lord & Savior & having him in my Life.
