Bible Note: After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven, and the first voice which I had heard, like the sound of a trumpet speaking with me, said, "Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after these things." Revelation 4:1 NASB "Beginning with 4:1 the viewpoint of John is from heaven. As the word 'church' does not appear again in the Revelation until 22:16, the catching up of John from earth to heaven has been taken to be a symbolic representation of the translation of the Church as occurring before the events of the tribulation described in chs. 6-19" (New Scofield Reference Bible, Oxford, 1967). Tim: This is in answer to your question: "Is there any particular verse or passage in Revelation which can be identified with the Rapture?" I wanted to answer you without removing your question from the homepage. That is why I posted it here instead of as part of the thread of your question. --JVH0212 |
