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: As I alluded to in my previous post, on this very important subject, I'm certain that God would be very clear about something so incredibly vital and important to the whole world. In my mind, all the actual scriptures from God's Word you've cited are referring to the end of the world and Judgment Day immediately following thereafter. Again, I emphasize I see nothing from God's Word which paints a clear picture of anything or any phase of events between this world and the ultimate Judgment Day as clearly depicted by Jesus with the parting of sheep and goats, the straight and narrow way versus the broad way to Hell. Please enlighten me with actual scriptures from the Bible depicting this rapture or the 1000 year reign of God with beings from this earth over other beings from this earth. God bless. Rowdy |
