The two most recognized passages are, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18, “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: 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. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.” and 1 Corinthians 15:52, “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.” The rapture has been portrayed in books and movies, preached about from pulpits, and written about in newspapers. The consensus is the rapture will plunge the world into utter chaos as those left behind deal with this catastrophic event. Hundreds of millions of people vanish. Since the rapture occurs all over the planet in less than a second, some eating lunch; others will be sitting down to relax at the end of a workday. Millions of traffic accidents because of cars left with no drivers. Plane crashes all over the planet because aircrafts suddenly become pilotless.

Havoc in the streets, terror in homes as loved ones have vanished, confusion in every corner of the globe as people look for answers. Does a nation have a new superweapon? Have the extraterrestrials decided to start harvesting humanity? Is what is going on man-made or coming from God? Does God even exist? If He does, what is He doing? Why would God do this? When the rapture happens, the whole world will know! 7 KEY POINTS ON THE PRE-TRIBULATION RAPTURE🎺☁️: 1.The Church had no part in the first sixty nine weeks of Daniel and it will have no part in the seventieth week.(Daniel 9:24). 2. The Church is mentioned more than 20 times in the first 3 chapters of Revelation, but there is no mention of the Church between Revelation 4:1 and Revelation 19:1. 3. Jesus comes FOR his Church in the rapture( 1Thessalonians 4:16-17). He comes WITH his Church in the second coming ( 1Thessalonians 3:13). The Church goes UP from the earth in the rapture and comes DOWN to the earth in the second coming! 4. The Antichrist cannot be revealed untill after the rapture ( 2 Thessalonians 2:6-8) 5. The Church must go to heaven for the marriage of the Lamb ( Revelation 19:7) before the second coming at the end of the tribulation period ( Revelation 19:11-14 ). 6. Church is promised an excemption from divine wrath.( 1 Thess 1:10; 5:9 , Rom 5:9, Rev 3:10; 6:17 ). 7. From Bro Chad's(Watchman on the wall 88) article titled... THE RAPTURE : WHY IT'S CALLED THE BLESSED HOPE? Titus 2:13 - “Looking for that blessed hope... Why are we told to look for that ‘Blessed Hope’? What is so ‘blessed,’ and why should our ‘hope’ be in it? I’ll tell you why, because it is an event where the Lord will remove Christians that are truly His before the coming judgement of God on this Christ-rejecting world. WHAT IS THE RAPTURE? 🎯Strong's #726: harpazo (pronounced har-pad'-zo) from a derivative of 138; to seize (in various applications):--catch (away, up), pluck, pull, take (by force).

The rapture is not to be confused with the second coming of the Lord Jesus which will occur after the 7 years of tribulation where Jesus Christ will return to earth bodily and set His feet on the Mt. of Olives. (Zechariah 14:4). All believers saved under the Gospel of the Grace of God (Acts 20:24, 1 Corinthians 15:1-4) will be raptured. The Lord Jesus Christ will return in bodily form in the clouds for the grace age believers, His Church. (1 Thess 4:16, 1 Corinthians 15:51) All those that died during the Church age will return (soul and spirit) to their bodies in the grave or where ever they are it doesn’t matter God knows where they are. They will be instantly changed to immortal, incorruptible, fleshly bodies just like Christ glorious body after His resurrection. (Philippians 4:21) The believers that are alive will follow those that were in the graves and they too will be transformed to immortal, incorruptible, fleshly bodies. Together we will be caught up in the clouds, to live with the Lord forever. (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, 1 Corinthians 15:50-53) THE RAPTURE WAS A MYSTERY! The Rapture was not revealed until the risen and glorified Lord Jesus revealed this mystery to the apostle Paul. The “Rapture” or snatching away of the Body of Christ is one eight mysteries or secrets that were hidden God until revealed to Paul (1 Corinthians 15:51; Ephesians 3:1-10; Colossians 1:26). THE RAPTURE WILL CHANGE THE ENTIRE LANDSCAPE OF THE WORLD! Paul emphasizes this characterization of the rapture when he writes: “For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord [Rapture] so comes as a thief in the night. For when they say, ‘Peace and safety!’ then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief.” (1 Thessalonians 5:2-4) Paul speaks of a sudden and unexpected destruction that will strike the world-a destruction from which the unbelieving world will not escape… but true believers (the body and bride of Christ) will. 1 Corinthians 15:51-52 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. THE GOSPEL AND THE RAPTURE! 1 Corinthians 15 :1-4 (KJV) 15 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: The apostle did not shy away from including the “Rapture” when he proclaimed the Gospel. The receipt of glorified and imperishable bodies was the Gospel hope that Paul proclaimed to the lost. Jesus promised eternal life to His followers (John 10:27-28) and He gave further revelation about it through the apostle Paul. In fact, in 1 Thessalonians, the first epistle that the Apostle Paul wrote, he shares the gospel in the context of the Rapture in Chapter 4 of 1 Thessalonians, saying, for we believe that Jesus was crucified, buried, and rose again on the third day, and He’s coming back again one day.

THE RAPTURE: THE EVENT THAT WILL SHOCK AND ROCK THE WORLD!
This dispensation of Grace that we live in was revealed to the Apostle Paul.
So, what of this mystery known as the Rapture?
It’s a mystery because this was never a promise made to Israel!
1 Thessalonians 4:17: "Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up...
In verse 17, the phrase “Caught Up” is translated from the Greek word ‘Harpazo’ and the Latin ‘Rapturo.’ That is the word from which we get ‘Rapture.’
Upon closer inspection of ‘Harpazo”s definition, we learn it literally means:
To snatch away
To take away
To pluck away
To claim for oneself eagerly
To seize by force
The rapture is the Biblical prophecy of Jesus appearing in the sky and calling all the real Christians home to heaven. Those Christians who have passed away since Christ’s resurrection will also be resurrected and acquire their eternal bodies. Those Christians who are alive when the rapture comes will appear, to those left behind on earth, to vanish into thin air, as they are taken up (raptured out) by Christ. The living Christians will also receive their resurrected bodies at this time. It all sounds like a lot, but from finish to end will take the wink of an eye.
The two most recognized passages are, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18, “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: 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. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.” and 1 Corinthians 15:52, “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.”
The rapture has been portrayed in books and movies, preached about from pulpits, and written about in newspapers.
The consensus is the rapture will plunge the world into utter chaos as those left behind deal with this catastrophic event. Hundreds of millions of people vanish. Since the rapture occurs all over the planet in less than a second, some eating lunch; others will be sitting down to relax at the end of a workday. Millions of traffic accidents because of cars left with no drivers. Plane crashes all over the planet because aircrafts suddenly become pilotless. Fires break out as planes crash into residential areas - more housefire start when cooking pots are left unattended because homes are void of inhabitants. The ensuing chaos rages out of control as many emergency personnel is no longer with us!!
Havoc in the streets, terror in homes as loved ones have vanished, confusion in every corner of the globe as people look for answers. Does a nation have a new superweapon? Have the extraterrestrials decided to start harvesting humanity? Is what is going on man-made or coming from God? Does God even exist? If He does, what is He doing? Why would God do this? When the rapture happens, the whole world will know!
