WHAT IS THE RAPTURE?
What exactly is the rapture and what does the Bible say about it? Most Christians have heard the term and the unsaved don't know what a Christian is talking about. In this article we will look at what the Bible says about the rapture. This article will present basic teaching about the rapture of the Church.
Here are the foundational verses in the Bible that describe the rapture:
1 Thessalonians 4
13. But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive [and] remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For 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:
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.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
1 Corinthians 15
51. Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
What is the rapture? The answer is this: It is a description of an event that will occur when God removes His Church supernaturally from the earth. Christians will literally disappear as they are called up to the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. There will be one generation living on earth that will not know physical death but will be instantly translated into the very presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. At the rapture each Christian will be transformed and receive their eternal resurrection body.
Lets look a bit more closely at the Scriptures previously quoted about the rapture starting with 1 Thess 4:
1 Thess 4
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive [and] remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
This verse is by the "word of the Lord". The event of the rapture is a fact and it is coming by the authority of the Word of the Lord. Next, we are told that there will be some Christians alive when the Lord Jesus returns at the rapture. This verse also mentions Christians that are asleep or who have previously died. This hints at a great reunion at the rapture. Those living will meet their Christian loved ones and friends who have previously died. There is also an order to the rapture where God will honor the dead in Christ first. The order is this: 1) first the dead in Christ are resurrected 2) second those who are alive on earth are resurrected.
The Lord is very detailed. The rapture will occur very fast. In just a fraction of a second, it will be over. Yet the Lord will order those who will be raptured/resurrected first and second. This shows the amazing precision of the Lord as He exercises His almighty power.
16 For 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:
Here we are told that the dead in Christ will be given their eternal resurrection bodies first. Remember the order of events hinted at in verse 1? First the dead in Christ then secondly the living.
We are also told that the Lord Jesus will come Himself and will give a shout - a command: possibly 'come up hither' see Rev 4. The rapture occurs as a result of a command from the Lord.
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.
We are told that Christians still alive will be given their resurrection body as well in the rapture. All the raptured Christians (alive and previously dead) will meet in the air in the clouds. There Christians will meet the Lord Jesus and have a great reunion with each other.
This verse also uses the term "caught up" when referring to the living Christians in the rapture. What does 'caught up' mean? It literally means to be caught up, to snatch out, or to seize. God will use His almighty power in the rapture!
Here is another thought to consider. Some may say that the word 'rapture' is not found in the Bible therefore, it cannot be true. Consider this, the word 'Bible' and the word 'Trinity' is not found in the Bible either. However, the concepts certainly are found in the Bible. The rapture describes a Biblical event. The concept of the rapture is found in the Bible even though the actual word 'rapture' is not. In verse 17 above the rapture is described by the words "caught up". A person would be correct by calling this Biblical event the catching up of the Church. However, the term rapture is shorter and it describes the same concept.
In the rapture, the Lord Jesus will not set foot on earth but will rather call Christians up to Himself in the clouds to meet Him there. This can be contrasted with His second coming when the Lord will set foot on earth at the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem. At that time everyone saved and lost will see Him return. However, at the rapture, only blood bought Spirit reborn saved Christians will see the Lord Jesus Christ in the clouds. As a result, we clearly have two separate events 1) The rapture when Jesus meets the Church in the air and takes them to heaven and 2) The Second Coming which occurs at the battle of Armageddon. At the battle of Armageddon, the Lord Jesus comes back to earth at the mount of Olives in Jerusalem and sets up His Kingdom.
Next, lets look at the rapture in 1 Cor 15:
1 Corinthians 15
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
The rapture is a mystery that God through the Apostle Paul has revealed. The next question is: What is a mystery? Well a mystery is a new truth. Something not previously known. Further thoughts on the mystery of the rapture are:
- Could the mystery be the second coming of Jesus? No as the disciples and Christians already knew that Jesus would return again. Look at Acts 1:9-11 where the Lord Jesus is taken to heaven. The Lord will return in like manner, bodily, physically. His Second coming is nothing new.
- Could the mystery be the general resurrection of all believers? Nope! God had already revealed that: See Daniel 12:2, Heb 11:17-19 Job 19:25-27. It was general knowledge that there would be a general resurrection of the righteous and the damned.
So then what is the mystery, the new truth that God through Paul is revealing? Verse 51 tells what the mystery is. 'We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed'.
1) We shall not all sleep. This means there is a generation of believers that will not die physically but will go straight to heaven. That is certainly new and unrevealed information!
Here is an interesting point..... What does sleep mean? Why did the Lord Jesus and His disciples use the term sleep as opposed to dead? Well the word sleep in their culture also included the fact that the dead person had a future. Death is not a final thing but there is a glorious future for the believer after physical death.
2) we shall all be changed. This literally means we shall be transformed. All born again, blood bought Christians will be given a new body. It will be a resurrected body of flesh and bones. The believer will have a heavenly body just like the Lord Jesus had after His resurrection.
So to sum up verse 51....what is the mystery? The mystery is that there is one generation that will not die physical death but will be instantly transformed into their resurrection body as they meet the Lord in the clouds at the rapture. What a glorious way to go to heaven! If you had a choice, which way would you prefer to go to heaven?...by death or rapture? What a glorious new truth and a blessed hope!
Lets look at another aspect of the rapture: How long will the rapture take? Verse 52 answers this question:
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
How long will the rapture take? The rapture will be just a moment or a twinkling of an eye. How long is a moment or a twinkling of an eye? It will be so quick that the time frame cannot be humanly divided. The rapture will be instant in a small fraction of a second! For example take 1 second and divide it up into 1000 tiny sections of time. The rapture will be faster that 1 of those small sections of time!
At the rapture, Christians will be given their resurrection bodies as the Church is caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord. At the exact same time, every believer in the world will be transformed and removed from planet earth! This is just a sample of the almighty power of God!
What a joy it will be at the rapture! Christians will be given their immortal glorified resurrection body. There will be no more sickness, pain, or death. We will forever be with the Lord and our loved ones! We will finally get to see the Lord Jesus face to face!
Lets read further:
1 Corinthians 15
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal [must] put on immortality.
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
Our new bodies will be eternal, incorruptible, and glorious! This is compared to our current mortal and corruptible bodies prone to sickness, pain, and death. After the rapture there will be no more death. The Christian will have a eternal body that can no longer experience pain, sickness, or death. Death will be no more. This is what that statement "Death is swallowed up in victory" means.
The rapture is a blessed hope and the rapture is going to occur soon!
WHO WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE RAPTURE?
The answer is simple. Only those who have trusted/accepted the Lord Jesus as their Lord and Saviour will be a part of the rapture. In this world there are only two types of people: SAVED or LOST. Which category do you fit in? Only the saved people will be going up in the rapture.
John 3
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
John 3
36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
Notice that only those who have trusted in the Lord Jesus are saved. All others are lost and will die in their sins and perish forever in the lake of fire. The rapture is only for saved people who have their sins washed in the blood of the Lord Jesus. Saved people have trusted in the Lord Jesus alone for salvation!
So, all saved people will be included in the rapture. The lost will be left behind to go through the terrible reign of the antichrist and all the judgments of God found in the book of Revelation.
WATCH AND BE READY! NO ONE KNOWS THE DAY OR THE HOUR
The Bible speaks of an unknown time when the Lord Jesus will return. Many will be found asleep and caught by surprise. These people thought the Lord would delay His coming and got distracted with the things of the world such as: the quest for wealth and money, love of entertainment, and other worldly pursuits. The end result is the sudden return of the Lord Jesus! Here are some verses that describe the unknown time of the return of the Lord Jesus:
Matthew 24
36 But of that day and hour knoweth no [man], no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
37 But as the days of Noe [were], so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
41 Two [women shall be] grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
42 WATCH THEREFORE: FOR YE KNOW NOT WHAT HOUR YOUR LORD DOTH COME.
43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
Above we are warned twice that the Lord will return at an unknown time. The warning is to watch and be prepared. God's people do not want to be caught sleeping with their eyes on worldly affairs and affections when the Lord Jesus suddenly appears!
This command to watch and be ready is repeated again and again. The Lord does not want His people to be caught by surprise. Therefore, God's people are warned to watch and be ready.
Matthew 25
13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
Mark 13
31 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
32 But of that day and [that] houd knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
34 [For the Son of man is] as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.
35 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:
36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, WATCH.
As you can see the Lord gives clear commands to His people to watch and be ready so they will not be caught by surprise. Here is another point that the Lord reveals in the below verses.
Luke 12
36 And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.
37 Blessed [are] those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find [them] so, blessed are those servants.
39 And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.
40 BE YE THEREFORE READY ALSO: FOR THE SON OF MAN COMETH AT AN HOUR WHEN YE THINK NOT.
Notice verse 40. The Lord warns that He will come at a time when He is not expected. This means life will be routine when the rapture occurs. The Lord will not come in the midst of a nuclear war when things are falling apart and massive numbers of people are dying. Instead, the Lord will return on a routine day. People will get up after a night's sleep and get ready for the activities of that day. They may work, buy, sell, marry or whatever. Others will still be sleeping in the middle of the night! Life will be normal and routine. The strong warning from the Lord is to watch and be ready because on such a day He will suddenly return to rapture home His people.
Here is a special promise to God's people who watch and are ready for the return of the Lord Jesus: Verse 37 above says "Blessed" are those servants who are ready and watching when the Lord suddenly returns. This means that not everyone will be sleeping and caught up with worldly pursuits. Some of God's people will be wide awake and watching for the return of their Lord. To those people the Lord says: Blessed!
A CROWN FOR WATCHING FOR THE RAPTURE
2 Tim 4
8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
The above verse states that everyone who watches, waits, and loves His appearing will receive a crown of righteousness. This is a great blessing from the Lord! All that is required to receive this crown is for Christians to watch, wait, and look forward to the return of the Lord Jesus.
SEE THE DAY COMING!
Below is another unique promise in the Bible. Have a look at the below verses:
1 Thessalonians 5
1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
6. Therefore let us not sleep, as [do] others; but let us WATCH AND BE SOBER.
Notice verse 4 where we are told that that day (the return of the Lord) should not overtake us like a thief. Here is what it means. Even though we cannot know the exact day, we can see the day coming. As we look at Bible prophecy and world events we can see the final prophecies getting ready to be fulfilled. This means the rapture must be very close! Christians have great incentive to stay awake and watch for the return of the Lord because Christians can see the setups of the end time Bible prophecies. All this points to the nearness of the rapture. Therefore, watch and be ready!
1 Peter 4
7 BUT THE END OF ALL THINGS IS AT HAND: be ye therefore sober, and WATCH UNTO PRAYER.
CONCLUSION
In this article we covered the basics about the rapture of the Church. We covered: What is the rapture, how long will it take, who will be included in the rapture, and the exhortation to watch and be ready because the rapture will occur suddenly and unexpectedly.
Titus 2
13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
The rapture is a blessed hope to the Christian. Watching for and expecting the rapture is a blessed hope that encourages a person to stay close to the Lord. A person watching daily for the rapture will go on with life but be constantly looking for the return of the Lord each day. This blessed hope also has a purifying effect. A person will not get caught up in worldliness or wrong things if he thinks His Lord could come back at any moment.
This article also covered the great blessing for a Christian who will be found by the Lord watching when the rapture occurs. The Lord calls that person, "blessed"! I would say it is a good personal goal for ones life! Make it your hearts goal and desire to be ready and watching when the rapture occurs. This way you will not be caught by surprise when the rapture occurs in the very near future!
Rev 22
20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
Environmentalist Extremists Call Humanity Virus, a Cancer, Large Families Guilty of "Eco-Crime"
Predictable exploitation of "global warming", or winter "climate change" fears
By Peter J. Smith and Steve Jalsevac
LONDON, May 8, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Environmental extremists are calling for a drastic reduction of the earth's population to save the planet from global warming, saying the best "carbon offset" is no more carbon-dioxide emitting human beings.
The 1997 Kyoto accords sprang directly out of de-population advocate Maurice Strong's Rio conference in 1992, with Strong having a hand guiding the accords to fruition all the way, as a special adviser to the UN secretary general. Blaming increasing human populations and industry for many of the world's problems, population control groups are now predictably using "global warming", during cold winter months referred to instead as "climate change", - a phenomenon many scientists contest is due to natural factors such as sun activity - to support their usual anti-human agenda.
A report published May 7 by the Optimum Population Trust declared that the best "carbon-offset strategy" was to reduce the number of human beings and thus defeat the "global warming" phenomenon.
...continued...
The Sunday Times said the report indicated large families constitute an environmental misdemeanor or "eco-crime" as much as 4x4 SUV's or failing to recycle. The Australian ran the headline "Children 'Bad for Planet."
Radical environmentalist, Paul Watson, founder and president of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, which tries to increase whale populations, in a May 4 editorial on his website denounced the "human virus" saying "We are killing our host the planet Earth". See http://www.seashepherd.org/editorials/editorial_070504_1.htm...
Watson who has unapologetically called human beings the "AIDS of the Earth", declared human beings must reduce the world's population to less than 1 billion people, dwell in communities no larger than "20,000 people and separated from other communities by wilderness areas," and recognize themselves as "earthlings" dwelling in a primitive state with other species.
"Curing a body of cancer requires radical and invasive therapy, and therefore, curing the biosphere of the human virus will also require a radical and invasive approach," Watson said.
Although Watson's extreme anti-human ideology is disturbing, his thesis is not at all dissimilar of the teachings of former US Vice President Al Gore, a prominent leader of the radical environmental movement.

As you can see, Satan's people want to decrease the population of earth. They use the "hoax" of global warming to excuse the above statements. Satan and his people say: People are a virus or a cancer to the earth. That sounds just like the words of Satan himself! The devil hates God and he hates God's creation including mankind. Of course his puppets will seek to kill and greatly reduce the population under the guise of preserving the earth via a false hoax like global warming. Opposed to this, God says be fruitful and multiply. God created the earth that can easily support humanity.
The problem with the earth is not the environment. The problem is SIN! Lost people reject the Lord Jesus as the only Saviour. The Bible is rejected and in many countries, it is considered hate literature. People love sin and darkness and do not want to repent. The coming judgment is the root of the current problems of the earth. Time is running out and the judgment of God is coming upon this wicked world. At that time there will be massive death as God will literally destroy the wicked out of the earth!
2 Tim 3
1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
Israel to Syria: Use chem weapons & we'll wipe you off map
BY MATTHEW KALMAN in Jerusalem and BILL HUTCHINSON in New York DAILY NEWS WRITERS Thursday, September 20th 2007, 4:00 AM
Israeli officials vowed to wipe Syria off the map if it is attacked with chemical weapons like one that reportedly exploded in July at a secret Syrian base staffed with Iranian engineers.
Politicians in Israel said yesterday they were not picking a fight with their neighbor, but pledged to forcefully retaliate if chemical warheads come screaming across its shared border.
"We will not attack them first. But if they ever use these weapons against Israel, then we must be clear -- it will be the end of this evil and brutal dictatorship," Yuval Steinitz, a right-wing member of the Israeli parliament, told the Daily News yesterday.
Sparking shock waves across the Middle East was a report in Jane's Defence Weekly about an accidental explosion at a top secret Syrian base in July.
Citing Syrian intelligence sources, the report claimed a team of Iranian and Syrian engineers were killed July 26 while trying to arm a Scud-C missile with a mustard gas warhead.
Syrian official news agency, SANA, reported that least 15 Syrian military personnel had been "martyred" and 50 others injured in the blast near the northern city of Aleppo on the Turkish border. It claimed the early morning explosion was caused by the high temperatures.
The SANA report mentioned nothing of Iranian personnel killed in the mishap.
Jane's said dozens of Iranian workers were among those who died when a fire in the missile's engine triggered the explosion and release of a toxic cloud of lethal chemical agents banned under international law.
U.S. intelligence sources played down the report saying they've seen no credible evidence chemical weapons were involved in the Syrian accident.
With James Gordon Meek in Washington http://www.nydailynews.com/news/wn_report/2007/09/19/2007-09-19_israel_to_syria_use_chem_weapons__well_w.html

Israel is aware of Syria's threats. Syria is a nation that seeks the complete destruction of Israel. Syria hopes to one day use chemical, biological, or nuclear weapons to destroy Israel. To all these threats, Israel has warned Syria that they will be wiped off the map. Syria is in danger of being destroyed by Israel if they dare to use a weapon of mass destruction against Israel. Guess what? Israel has the military power to carry out that threat!
Little does Syria realize that judgment is coming in the days ahead. God has decreed the destruction of the capital city of Syria, Damascus.
This nation has been hostile to Israel and the only peace they want, is peace WITHOUT the existence of Israel. They have supported terrorists and bombers who have done great damage to Israel. As a result their day of judgment from God is growing close. It may be the next war or another future war, but Damascus will be destroyed. Look at this verse that has never yet been fulfilled:
Isaiah 17
1 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.
Therefore, expect one day for Syria to attempt the destruction of Israel with a weapon of mass destruction. Also, expect Israel to carry out their threat that they will wipe Syria off the map.
Looking at the above verse we can see the destruction of Damascus. This city will become a "ruinous heap". This suggests a quick destruction as a city does not become a ruinous heap slowly. One day Damascus will be a busy thriving city and they next day, it will be a ruinous heap. Something will happen swiftly and suddenly to Damascus.
What kind of weapon do we have today that can turn a thriving city into a ruinous heap? Nuclear bombs comes to mind! With nuclear weapons, one minute the city can be thriving and the next it can be a heap of stones. Things will not be well with Syria in the days ahead when God sends judgment upon that nation!
Syria will attempt to destroy Israel in the days ahead. As a result, Israel will make good on their threat and Damascus will cease to be a city.
In the days ahead other nations will be destroyed as they attempt the destruction of Israel. See the following verses:
Zec 12
2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah [and] against Jerusalem.
3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
DNA Research With Terror Risk Scientists Report Altering Bacterium To Make It More Infectious June 1, 2007 By RICK WEISS, Washington Post
WASHINGTON -- Researchers in Germany reported Thursday that they had altered the DNA of a disease-causing bacterium so that it can infect a species it cannot normally sicken.
Experts called the development a double-edged advance. Although the research could deepen scientists' understanding of human diseases, it also could speed development of novel bioterror agents.
The change in infectiousness - the first of its kind ever engineered from scratch - poses no direct threat to human health, scientists said, because the microbe already causes a human disease - the food-borne illness called listeriosis.
The change allows that microbe to sicken mice, a species that it has no natural capacity to infect.
Still, the work has biosecurity implications because it could, in theory, be applied in reverse, endowing a bacterium that causes a serious animal disease with an unprecedented ability to sicken people. ...continued... http://www.courant.com/news/nationworld/hc-bacteria0601.artjun01,0,4538390.story?coll=hc-headlines-nationworld

Stupid scientists don't know what they are doing. During the time when God judges the earth, there will be all kinds of killer diseases. I'm sure these stupid scientists will fool around with the genetic structure of bacteria and unleash something deadly in the days ahead that will kill many people.
Rev 6
7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
Prov 14
34 Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.
