Bible Question:
Hi Mark, I know that there are many scriptures relating to the day of the Lord, or his coming, but can anyone provide any that relate to the rapture? Thanks M.Royal |
Bible Answer: Hi MRoyal, I keep going to many of the Scriptures that people use for the 2nd coming - many of those don't actually speak of Christ coming back to the earth, they speak of Him coming in the clouds. And then I recall many of the Old Testament scriptures that almost in the same breath speak of the 1st advent and the 2nd advent, sometimes in that order, sometimes reversed. That's one of the reasons the Jews didn't recognize Jesus as Messiah, cos they were looking for a Conqueror, not a Servant. If the prophecies were like that in the Old Testament - so that the Jews didn't see 2 events - why are we so adament that the verses we use for 2nd advent and the rapture have to be the same event? Isn't it possible that both views are correct? Just a thought. blessings cheri |
