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: Greetings Forum Friends! I posted this on the Rev. 4:1 thread, but since this is where the question originated, I wanted to include my post here as well. *********************************************** 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.
