The Rapture—Is It Real? - John 14:1-6 - Skip Heitzig

The word rapture is not found in most English translations of Scripture, but the concept of it most certainly is. Latin translations of the New Testament have the word plainly rendered as rapturo, which simply means a catching away or a snatching away. The Bible presents two stages of Jesus’ second coming: first, He will come suddenly in the air to snatch away believers; then He will return to earth at the end of a seven-year period called the tribulation.

This teaching is from the series 20/20: Seeing Truth Clearly with Skip Heitzig from Calvary Church.

I sobbed watching this sermon. The fact that Jesus is preparing a place in Heaven specifically for me is overwhelming in the best way. I can’t wait to see my Savior face-to-face!

[secondcorinthians]

Lord I lift Your name on high
Lord I love to sing Your praises
I'm so glad You're in my life
I'm so glad You came to save us
You came from heaven to earth to show the way
From the earth to the cross, my debt to pay
From the cross to the grave, from the grave to the sky
Lord I lift Your name on high

You're so right, He is coming, when doesn't matter - only the hope!

[connihudson]

To Pastor Skip Heitzig: Daniel 12:3 Those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament and those who turned many to righteousness like the stars for ever and ever. THANK YOU for your ministry. God bless you !

This sermon was very important to me today. My mind was so cluttered with earthly concerns that I could barely play tennis, one of my favorite activities of the week. The solution is for me to re-focus on the Big picture, as pointed out in this sermon. Thanks.

[shannacoxsey]

I've heard it as the wedding before, and it just makes so much sense. I can't wait to praise him in person. I've been looking up for a while. Wanting the heavens to part and take us home. I'll be happy no matter where I am as long as I'm

[licakoroi]

One of the preachers I enjoy listening to on the radio and tonite I am finally seeing the face of the voice, Praise God!

Requesting prayer for friend Debbie, hospitalized 3/29 with multiple organ failure, liver, kidney, gall bladder. She is a believer. Thank you!

Good morning Pastor Skip and Calvary church. Very crisp amd clear teaching. Amen glory to God

[michaelblack]

Thank you so much for this! I needed to hear this in the best way. I've been praying for confirmation from Jesus and this is it. His answers are so clear and undeniable. When I was saved in 2013 one of the first things I did was pray for sight and discernment and boy was it granted! The scales were removed with a quickness.. but the enemy knew this and has worked overtime to keep me from God's promise. I have my peaks and valleys like all fallen humans but at the end of the day God is and always will be my Father. Not the little (g)od

[yvettejirsaraie]

Hallelujah! Thank you YESHUA/JESUS! 🕊️❤️

Skip Heitzig put this in your head...our Lord Jesus Christ never teach rapture, neither the true apostles, neither the true prophets ordained by the Almighty God such as Isaiah, Jeremiah, Daniel and all the rest of prophets in the biblical times ordained by the Almighty God. Skip Heitzig you are false pastor/preacher based your false teachings of false apostle Paul AKA Saul of Tarsus. Saul of Tarsus was not chosen by Jesus Christ, neither the remaining eleven apostles who directly chosen by Jesus Christ during his ministry on earth. Here are the scriptural evidences to support: Luke 10:18 Acts 1:21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26. Here are the conflicting and contradicting stories about allege false claimed. The conversion of Saul ACTS 22:6-16 ACTS 26:12-18 PAUL TELLS OF HIS CONVERSION ACTS 9:1-19; ACTS 26:12-8 THIS SAUL OF TARSUS BY HIS CRAFTY AND FLOWERY WORDS OF HIS CONVERSION FALSELY CONVINCED MOSTLY FROM THEN AND NOW ALL PEOPLE...INCLUDING YOU SKIP HEITZIG. HIS FALSE TEACHINGS ALL ADAPTED BY ALL PASTORS, PREACHERS, TEACHERS AND SO FORTH. THE FALSE DOCTRINE OF RAPTURE IS CONTRARY TO THE TRUE TEACHINGS OF JESUS CHRIST AND THE TRUE APOSTLES APPOINTED BY HIM DIRECTLY. TO SUPPORTS THAT THERE IS NO RAPTURE: JOHN 17:15. MATTHEW 24:29, 30, 31(THIS IS JESUS CHRIST SPEAKING DIRECTLY) 1 CORINTHIANS 15:51 IS IN DIRECT CONTRAST TO JESUS CHRIST TEACHINGS...NO TWINKLING OF AN EYE ON JESUS TEACHINGS. NO CAUGHT UP IN THE CLOUDS ALSO IN CONTRAST IN 1 THESSALONIANS 4:13, 1415, 16, 17, 18 IN REVELATION 3:10 IS ALSO DIRECT CONTRAST TO THE FALSE TEACHINGS OF RAPTURE: REVELATION 3:10 (JESUS CHRIST SPEAKING) NOT FALSE APOSTLE PAUL. 3:10 BECAUSE THOU HAST KEPT THE WORD OF MY PATIENCE, I ALSO WILL KEEP THEE FROM THE HOUR OF TEMPTATION, WHICH SHALL COME UPON ALL THE WORLD, TO TRY THEM THAT DWELL UPON THE EARTH. NO RAPTURE HERE, EVERY ONE WILL BE TRIED(TEST) TO PROVE THE FAITHFULNESS, TRUSTWORTHINESS, THOSE WHO ARE ABIDING THE LAWS AND COMMANDMENTS OF GOD THE FATHER AND OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, THOSE WHO ENDURE TO LAST, THOSE WHO ARE OVERCOMERS, THOSE WHO REJECT THE MARK OF THE BEAST AND BEHEADED FOR THE WORD OF GOD AND TESTIMONY OF JESUS, THOSE SAINTS AND MARTYRS FOR GOD AND JESUS CHRIST AND THOSE 144, 000 FROM THE 12 TRIBES OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL WHO ARE VIRGIN, NEVER DEFILED ANYTHING, NO DECEIT IN THEIR MOUTH ALL THESE ARE THE ONES WORTHY TO BE PROTECTED BY JESUS CHRIST AND THE ALMIGHTY GOD AND BRING THEM IN HEAVEN. NOT THOSE RAPTURE CHURCH LOOKING FOR EASY GO LUCKY ESCAPE NOT FAITHFUL AND NOT WORTHY FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND OF JESUS CHRIST. ALSO TO SUPPORTS THAT THERE IS NO RAPTURE MARK 13:24, 25, 26, 27. JOHN 5:25 JOHN 5:28. N0 TWINKLING OF AN EYE. NO CAUGHT UP IN THE CLOUDS, NO VOICE OF ARCHANGEL.
THE ONE THING FOR SURE THAT ALL OF YOU FALSE PASTORS, PREACHERS, TEACHERS ECT...INCLUDING YOU SKIP HEITZIG YOU MADE YOURSELF FALSE PROPHET BE READY WHEN JESUS COME, THE ANTI CHRIST, THE BEAST, THE FALSE PROPHETS AND THOSE THEIR NAMES ARE NOT WRITTEN IN THE LAMB BOOK OF LIFE WILL BE THROWN IN THE LAKE OF FIRE.
