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: Is the rapture biblically supported? |
Bible Note: Hello Kalos; I'm not sure that the discourse by Jesus in Luke 17:26-30 is refering to the rapture. I am not going to be a stickler about this but could it not be refering to Israel's flight into the wilderness to be hidden for 3 1/2 years. If the Beast enters the temple at the half way point of the trib. and set himself up as God, this would be the signal for the Jews to flee Jerusalem those who remain would be caught and destroyed by the beast those who left would be saved (the remnant) |
