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! [John 14:3; 1 Cor 15:52; 2 Cor 5:8; Phil 1:23; Col 3:4] |
Subject: Rapture |
Bible Note: Hi Doc Then you have in your own inimitable fashion, answered in one fell swoop, all of the different beliefs about the rapture, when you say. "Nothing in Scripture ever means something other than what it meant when it was penned." Do you mean like this? Matt.24:34 Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place. This truly of His then, really was a truly? Not a maybe these things will happen before this generation pass away. This verse should be kept within the context of the whole chapter though. Thanks for the clarification. Vintage68 |
