NASB | 1 Thessalonians 4:17 Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. |
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 question? |
Bible Note: Bulletin! According to the God-inspired words of the book of Revelation, billions of people will die during the 70th week of Daniel (the 7-year tribulation period). So why is it so hard to believe that people would die if a plane crashed during the Rapture, an event that accompanies the 70th week? (I don't care to get into a debate on when the rapture will occur.) To imply that if this were true, then God would be guilty of "killing" people is something I would not wish to imply. Also, if we start prefacing our questions with "what if", the options are unlimited. kalos |
