Bible Question:
Greetings! I noticed that there were not many questions today, so how about this one for discussion? Is there any particular verse or passage in Revelation which can be identified with the Rapture? In your response, you might note whether you are Pre, Mid, Post, or No Rapture. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
Bible Answer: 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). |
