1 | RAPTURE! FACT OR FICTION | 1 Cor 15:51 | casiv | 18564 | ||
The question should not be if the rapture is going to happen but by whom? Haven't you read Eze 13:20 about what the FATHER thinks about those who hunt souls to teach them to fly to save their souls. Read the KJV or the RSV the NIV takes the word fly out for further confusion. People it appears are going to be raptured but it is by a thief and Jesus is not a thief. It says I come as a thief in the night because if you don't know what watch the thief is coming, your house will be broken up see Mat 24. I think Jesus can answer best your face value, allegories and principles and the rest of the big words you can think of in Mat 13:14 And in them is the prophecy of Esais. which saith," By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see and shall not perceive: Mat13:15 For this peoples heart is waxed gross, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and should understand with their HEART and should be converted and I should heal them. Rapture the word is not in the manuscripts. Rapture has only been taught since 1830 and is the vision of a sick and dilussional scottish woman named Margaret McDonald who herself first thought the vision to be evil. Have you read the Incredible Cover Up by McPherson? May the FATHER show you the way! | ||||||
2 | RAPTURE! FACT OR FICTION | 1 Cor 15:51 | CDBJ | 18608 | ||
The word rapture came down to us from a translation called the Vulgate. It is not a word that is in our English translations. The concept of the rapture is discussed in many different words; we just grouped all of them together and coined the word rapture, as a catchall word to cover them all. The closest that the word rapture comes to in the Greek language of the New Testament, is the word EPISUNAGOGE, it is a compound word EPI, meaning out and SUNAGOGE, a gathering, as an assemble. The word synagogue as used by the Jews is actually a derivative from the later, as a gathering of people. Paul expresses this in II Thessalonians 2:1 where he says: Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, Now on the subject of the Lord coming as a thief: the Bible says that He will only come as a thief to the unbeliever not the believers. Notice the wording in I Thess. 5:1-5 There are two groups mentioned in these verses,(we and you) the believers, and (they and them) the unbelievers. I Thess. 5:1-5 Now as to the times and the epochs, brethren, you have no need of anything to be written to you. For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night. While they are saying, "Peace and safety!" then destruction will come upon them suddenly like labor pains upon a woman with child, and they will not escape. But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day would overtake you like a thief; for you are all sons of light and sons of day. We are not of night nor of darkness; The Lord is going to rapture His own out of here and then pour out sudden destruction on those that are saying peace and safety; just like he did in the days of Noah and in the days of Lot! All of this is going to happen on the same day, the Lord will lift up His own and then, BOOM, down comes His wrath on those that are left. |
