Bible Note: Luke 21:36 NKJV "Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy[R144] to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man." (FOOTNOTE: F144 NU-Text reads may have strength.) "that you may be counted worthy." 'Older Manuscripts say "that you may have strength.' (Footnote at Luke 21:36, MacArthur Study Bible, Word Publishing, 1997) I wonder, if this verse pertains to the rapture, then how much strength must one have to be raptured?
