The Rapture is NOT in the Bible

Everyone knows the rapture is in the Bible. Or, is it? Despite it being popularized and commercialized by Christian books, movies and even Hollywood, Skye Jethani makes the case that the Rapture is not actually in the Bible - no, not even in Revelation!

He looks at the passages often used to support the Rapture, Matthew 24 and 1 Thessalonians 4, and unpacks what they actually reveal about Christ’s return and why it's time for the Rapture to be left behind.

"CAUGHT Means "In The Air" Means > The Greek word from this term “rapture” is derived appears in 1 Thessalonians 4:17, translated “caught up.” The Latin translation of this verse used the word rapturo. The Greek word it translates is harpazo, which means to snatch or take away.

Rapture or no Rapture. Be ready for Christ. Walking with Jesus(while you are alive here on earth) is our FIRST priority.😅

Jesus takes care of his people regardless.🥰🥰

Looking for the blessed Hope, and the appearing of our Great God and Savior Jesus Christ

[SweetPappyJones]

Not a salvation issue. The LORD doesn't want us to have a spirit of fear. We need to stay strong in Jesus Christ.

Skye's hair was raptured long ago, but I'm glad he was left behind to share this with us.

1Th 4:17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.

Rev 3:10  Because you have kept my word about patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world, to try those who dwell on the earth.

Revelation 3:10

I'm from Romania and no one heard about the "Left behind" books. We simply know that Jesus will return and take us, away from the Tribulation

[knightyknight]

"Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord."

Harpazo is translated “caught up” or “caught away” the five times (out of. thirteen) it appears in the Bible relating to rapture. The other eight times it is translated, “to. forcibly seize upon, snatch away, take to oneself or use force on someone.” 3.

John 14:3 in Other Translations3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.

The *trauma* I experienced as a young child who loved Jesus, yet would still get scared that I had been left behind when I couldn’t find my parents! So much torment for a little girl.

[mgman]

Its better to believe than to miss it. You won't know you are wrong untill it's too late, i will stay ready for my raptured soul to go to my home in heaven.

[Nubako]

Because thou has keep the word of my patience I will also keep thee from the hour of temptation which shall come upon all the world to try them that dwell upon the earth Revelation 3:21

[mrzero]

Skye, you said something here that is verifiably UNTRUE:
"The rapture makes for exciting movies."

[daybreakcometh]

In my fathers house, there are many rooms I go to prepare a place for you and if I go, I will come again and take you to myself that where I am there you will be also. To take something thing is to remove it from its current place and bring it to you. Where he is there we will be also. When
Where is Jesus? In heaven of course. There we will be also.
