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: What is the scriptural evidence that the rapture 1) takes place at a time prior to the second coming, and 2) that believers who rise are taken immediately to heaven? |
Bible Answer: RoaringLamb: Welcome to the Forum! Take some time and read Matthew 24, the whole chapter. I think you will find some differences from what you are thinking. Now if these are the Words of Jesus, who is the one returning, and others teach some thing different, who do you think is the better authority? Blessings. Any thoughts? justme |
