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] |
Bible Question (short): Is 1 Thess 4:13-18 a rapture reference? |
Question (full): I'm doing a study series by Skip Heitzig of Calvary connection. He refers to First Thessalonians 4:13-18 as an example of the rapture of the Christians, yet when I read these verses regarding the coming of the Lord, in my NIV Bible I see no mention of the event, in fact I only see where it states that there will still be some believers living when Christ returns and that the dead in Christ rise first and the remaining believers will be caught up in the clouds together with them to meet the Lord in the air. Am I missing something here? thanks, Chusarcik |
