AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Thessalonians 4:17 Then we who are alive and remain [on the earth] will simultaneously be caught up (raptured) together with them [the resurrected ones] in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord!

Bible Question:
1 Thessalonians 4:17 "After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever." Based on this scripture, it is evident that a rapture like event will take place. There is much debate on when this will occur. It seems as if more people believe in a pre-trib rapture, however personally I don't find scripture to support that, although I don't claim to know it all either. When looking back at scripture, there are times when the Lord saved people from destruction, i.e. Lot when he destroyed soddom and gamorra. I know this doctrine is not a matter of salvation, however because I beleive that the bilble has one truth, I believe we ought to know it. Anyone willing to shed some light on this subject?? |
Bible Answer: Hi fcs375 Putting it as simply as possible, Jesus said. Matthew 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. With this now in mind, what makes you think, you will find in scripture where it says (when) he will return? Vintage68 |
