Where does the idea of The Rapture come from if it isn't mentioned in the Bible?

Question

It doesn't specifically say "The Rapture" though, right?

Answer 1

I linked to a long article on the Rapture below.
The theory began in roughly 1788 in the writings of Catholic priest Emmanuel Lacunza.
Here are some scriptures that Rapture supporters quote:

John 14:2–3
Philippians 3:20-21
1 Corinthians 15:49–55
1 Thessalonians 4:15–17
2 Thessalonians 2:1-7

Answer 2

The word "Rapture" does not occur in the Bible but the concept of the Rapture is mentioned.

The "Rapture" of the church is the event in which God removes all believers from the earth in order to make way for His 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).

Hope it helps.

Answer 3

There are various scriptures in the bible that some interpret as an define of a technique that has finally end up popular as "the rapture". As you're able to be able to assume, there are bible believing Christians that have confidence and individuals who disbelieve only approximately each and every thing that has ever been pronounced concerning the rapture. the standard rapture scripture is in Thessalonians 4 15According to the Lord's own word, we make it easier to comprehend that we who're nonetheless alive, who're left until the arriving of the Lord, will by means of no ability precede people who've fallen asleep. 16For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a noisy command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the ineffective in Christ will upward thrust first. 17After that, we who're nonetheless alive and are left would be caught up alongside with them in the clouds to fulfill the Lord in the air. And so we are able to be with the Lord continually. 18Therefore inspire one yet another with those words. You, like all of us else, could make what you will of it.

Answer 4

There is not a scripture in the Bible to support the idea of a rapture. Not one! The Bible teaches us that shortly before Jerusalem is attacked (during the tribulation period) God will provide a place of safety for His church (those who are living in that vicinity), but this in no way suggests a rapture.

This idea was hatched by like-minded individuals who sought to confuse the return of Christ. In the midst of confusion is satan himself. There is also scripture that tells us that at the first resurrection, those who are resurrected with be caught up in the clouds with Jesus. Here again, this is not the rapture men speak about. NO scripture describes such an event.

1 Thessalonians 4:17
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Caught up=Raptura

1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 (King James Version)
King James Version (KJV)

16For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

Answer 9

The bible is very clear about the tribulation to come at the end days, It is also clear that in Evey instance of great judgment, God brought out his people to prevent them from going through the judgment. EXps. Noah, Lot at Sodom and Gomorrah, In many of the new testament books there are references about a "taking out," before the terrible day of the lord.

Schofiled and Darby, a few others got a very wrong idea about 200 years ago and it just won't go away....they took one verse out of context and it turned into the left behind nonsense...
