Bible Question:
Scripture ... 1 Cor 15:51 Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53 For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality. Aixen7z4, where is the rapture in this passage? All it says is the dead will be raised and we will be changed? Searcher |
Bible Answer: The secret is in being open to all of Scripture. Paul wrote 1 Corinthians 15 to dispel doubts about the resurrection. The verses you have quoted speak to that. Why were the dead raised and the living changed? It is so we can inhabit heaven. He says so. How do we get to heaven? That's another question. The answer is that Jesus comes for us. See John 14. How does he get us there? He draws us up and away. See 1 Thessalonians 4. So, you are correct. The rapture is not described in 1 Corinthians 15, but it is in Scripture. |
