The Truth About the Rapture: What the Bible Really Says About Christ’s Return | Beyond Today

The rapture teaching hides the truth of the Bible. It keeps you from understanding God’s magnificent plan for you.
In this Beyond Today program, host Darris McNeely explores a popular yet misunderstood teaching: the secret rapture. Many Christians believe they will be raptured away to avoid the coming tribulation. But what does the Bible actually say? This episode examines scripture, specifically 1 Thessalonians 4 and Revelation, to clarify that Christ’s return will not be in secret. Instead, the Bible describes a visible second coming, marked by the sound of a trumpet, where all eyes will witness His return. Darris McNeely explains how misconceptions about the rapture stem from fear of end-time events, but God's plan involves believers assisting in the restoration of Earth, not escaping from it.
You are called to live with purpose, preparing for Christ’s Kingdom on Earth, not to fearfully await removal. By confronting common misconceptions and false teachings, you can find comfort in the true hope of the resurrection and God’s coming Kingdom.
