RAPTURE IN BIBLE

BELIEVE IN THE RAPTURE: Here's 7 essential reasons why so many pastors, scholars, and evangelists believe in the coming Rapture: 1) The word 'Rapture' IS in the Bible: It's 'RAPTURO' in Latin meaning 'caught up' (1 Thess 4:17); it's astounding how many Christian leaders do not know this 2) "For God has NOT appointed us to wrath" (1 Thess 5:9). The Great Tribulation is for those who rejected Christ 3) "I will SPARE YOU from the hour of trial coming on the whole earth" (Revelation 3:10) - the Rapture is the only viable way God can spare his saints before the Tribulation 4) GOD'S CHARACTER: God has never destroyed the wicked with the just. Ever. Think Noah. Think Sodom and Gomorrah. He 'raptured' Noah and he 'raptured' Lot. And He will 'rapture' US. 5) Jesus said He will come as a THIEF IN THE NIGHT (2 Peter 3:10). This is plainly meaning the Rapture. There is no surprise or 'snatching away' when the tribulation events unfold and thus the 'thief in the night' passages in 2 Peter and 1 Thessalonians make no sense, but for the Rapture. 6) The verses "Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left" (Matthew 24:40) make no sense outside of a Rapture. This is not referring to the Second Coming. 7) There is no mention of the church during the judgment time in Revelation - this is clearly and unequivocally showing that the church will not go through the Tribulation.
