Subject: Are there any scriptures for the rapture |
Bible Note: Hi Cheri. Thank you for your kind words, perhaps you will enjoy this post as well. Regards. Edwin. One of the reasons why I support the "Pre-Trib", position, is because of what our Lord Jesus said, as recorded by Matthew, and Luke, see bellow. Mat 24:37 "But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. Mat 24:38 "For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, Mat 24:39 "and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. Mat 24:40 "Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. Mat 24:41 "Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. Luk 17:26 "And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: Luk 17:27 "They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. Luk 17:28 "Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; Luk 17:34 "I tell you, in that night there will be two men in one bed: the one will be taken and the other will be left. Luk 17:35 "Two women will be grinding together: the one will be taken and the other left. Luk 17:36 "Two men will be in the field: the one will be taken and the other left."[fn4] I could be wrong of course, but it seems to me that what Jesus was saying is that Noah was "taken", (a picture of the rapture), whereas the others were "left", and were drowned.. In Luke's account, he ads the example of Lot being "taken out", of Sodom, whereas the others were "left", to be destroyed.. Also I feel that my understanding is supported by the Scripture verse bellow. 1Sa 15:6 Then Saul said to the Kenites, "Go, depart, get down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them. For you showed kindness to all the children of Israel when they came up out of Egypt." So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites. |
