What is the rapture?
First, what is the Rapture? The Rapture is meant for the church age, the time from Pentecost until the present time. The Christians that have believed in Jesus and trusted Him for their salvation will be caught up to heaven and given their incorruptible bodies. Even the ones that have been in the grave, or have been cremated will be given their perfect bodies at this time. These Christians will be taken out of the world in preparation of the Tribulation period that is to come. God will be sending down judgments on the world in a last effort to get the attention of non-believers. The ones left behind after the rapture are not lost; they still have a chance to turn to God and to trust Jesus for their salvation. They will have to endure the horrors of the Tribulation period, but even if they die during this time, they will be with Christ.
Many people say that the word rapture
does not occur in the Bible at all, but neither does the trinity or even the word Bible. If you go back to the original translation, the Latin word rapere
was translated from the Greek word harpazo
, which means caught up
; it became commonly known as the Rapture. Many people say that the church did not start preaching about the Rapture until Reverend Morgan Edwards in 1742. There is a writing from 373 AD in which Ephraim the Syrian had been writing about the Rapture.
"For all the saints and the elect of God are gathered prior to the Tribulation that is to come,and are taken to the Lord, lest they see the confusion that is to overwhelm the world because of our sin."
The pre-tribulation rapture was widely preached up until the Council of Ephesus declared it heretical in 431 AD. It only began to be taught again during the reform movement of the seventeenth century.
Another reason for the pre-tribulation view is these verses in 2 Thessalonians 2, where Paul was writing to the church at Thessalonica. They were concerned about missing the second coming of Jesus; Paul reminds them of the things that he has taught them.
2 Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers and sisters, 2 not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from us—whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letter—asserting that the day of the Lord has already come.3 Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. 4 He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God. 5 Don’t you remember that when I was with you I used to tell you these things? 6 And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may be revealed at the proper time. 7 For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts
