1 | sound of a trumpet...'come up here' | Rev 4:1 | kalos | 13726 | ||
After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven, and the first voice which I had heard, like the sound of a trumpet speaking with me, said, "Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after these things." Revelation 4:1 NASB "Beginning with 4:1 the viewpoint of John is from heaven. As the word 'church' does not appear again in the Revelation until 22:16, the catching up of John from earth to heaven has been taken to be a symbolic representation of the translation of the Church as occurring before the events of the tribulation described in chs. 6-19" (New Scofield Reference Bible, Oxford, 1967). Tim: This is in answer to your question: "Is there any particular verse or passage in Revelation which can be identified with the Rapture?" I wanted to answer you without removing your question from the homepage. That is why I posted it here instead of as part of the thread of your question. --JVH0212 |

2 | sound of a trumpet...'come up here' | Rev 4:1 | fatherchuck | 13847 | ||
How about Rev.10:7 when the seventh angel sounds his trumpet, the LAST trumpet, 1 Cor.15:51-58? Then there is Rev 14:14-20/ Matt.24:29-31? |

Greetings FatherChuck! I was wondering if anyone would bring up these verses. When I first asked this question, I wasn't try to trick anyone. I just wanted to see what range of thought there was about this issue. Personally, I believe that Rev. 14:14-20 is the best choice for the Rapture in Rev. I base this on several points. 1) I believe in the pre-Wrath or Mid-Trib view of the Rapture. The first 3 1/2 years being a the time of Jacob's Trouble and the last 3 1/2 years being a time of God's Wrath. 2) Rev. 14:14-20 takes place immediately following the sounding of the last of the Seven trumpets in Rev. 10:7. The events described in Rev. 10-13 all take place at the sounding of the trumpet, with the exception of Rev. 12, which appears to be an historical insert. 3) The description of Rev. 14:14-20 fits the description of the Rapture. The "good" are harvested, and the "bad" are thrown into God's winepress of wrath. Whichever view we take, it is wonderful to know that our God is going to take us home one day.
