Where/Does it mention the rapture in the Bible?

Answer 1

The book of Thessalonians. It is not called rapture. That word comes from the Latin vulgate. It says that those who are "alive and remain" will be caught up "to meet the Lord in the clouds". This is the rapture of the church.

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 3

The "rapture" is not mentioned in the Bible. Only the second coming of Christ, which comes after the Antichrist is revealed. The pretribulation rapture doctrine is a fairly new one that says that Christ returns before and after the tribulation. I recommend a book by Kimball, called The Rapture A Question Of Timing.It tells the history of the doctrine. It's out of print but can probably find one on the net.Theres an online bookstore called Alabris that may have it. The prices are inexpensive. God bless!!!
