Is the Rapture Biblical?

[naphtalinz]

John 8:32
“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

[tmcge]

22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. The End!

54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. The Last Day!

24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. The End!

13 To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints. The End!

13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. The End!

49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, The End

39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. Last Day!

40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. Last Day!

44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. Last Day

Revelation 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. Last Day, The End and My People!

By two to three witnesses every word is early exit called Rapture. Seal of God - Faith is how you escape the wrath Hebrews Ch 11 kjv The Blood of the Lamb Ecc 1:9 kjv. same as Always! The word of Yeshua, Paul and John, all saying the Same thing - Last Day, End of the World.

The end, the Last Day as in "In That Day" he never said you will leave early! He tells us "you will be persecuted for my name sake"

Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. You will be persecuted for his name....and there is NO early exit unless you die! Endure to the End!

[veeveevenn]

Therefore comfort one another with these things but the time will come ....having itching ears they shall be turned away from the truth and shall be turned to fables.

[TheMostHighJesus]

John 14:1-3
[1]Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
[2]In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
[3]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.

[paulsinclair]

As he says in 1:24, "it seems quite clear to me at However, that doesn't make him
However, for all those who get all hot and bothered and are ready to fall out with their Brothers in The Lord over it, I'd say that as long as we're ALWAYS ready for The Lord's return, whether in The Rapture, or at the end, we'll not be embarrassed at His coming.
The Lord Bless all who look forwards to the great hope of His return - whenever.

[SteveLayfield]

How very refreshing to hear this. When will scholarly refutation of ‘rapture theory’ finally overturn pesimillenialism and escapism?

[ClothedByGrace]

The judgement takes place prior to the Second Coming. Daniel 7:9-13; Revelation 22:12; Matthew 22:10-13.

Also, the righteous dead are resurrected at the Second Coming from their sleep in death. Then we (the resurrected dead and those who are alive) will see the Lord “together”. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18.

[richmondsiao]

The rapture that he is referring to is the pre-trib rapture. I used to agree with pre-trib as well. But once I set aside all the interpretations and just figure out what the Bible is really saying, I would say that I agree that the second coming is not a different event from the snatching (rapture) event.

[glennrobinson]

Yes it makes perfect sense, , I don't believe in a rapture. I used to, but not anymore. There's other strange doctrines that nearly all christendom believes and adheres to too that I do not believe anymore. The Lord loves it and is delighted that I question things and am learning to be a critical thinker about errant orthodox teachings.

In Your presence✝️
That's where I am strong
In Your presence
O Lord my God
In Your presence
That's where I belong
Seeking Your face
Touching Your grace
In the cleft of the Rock✝️
In Your presence O God

I want to go
Where the rivers
Cannot overflow me
Where my feet are
On the rock✝️
I want to hide
Where the blazing
Fire cannot burn me
In Your presence O God

I want to hide
Where the flood of
Evil cannot reach me
Where I'm covered by the blood✝️ of the Lamb
I want to be where
The schemes of darkness
Cannot touch me
In Your presence O God

✝️You are my firm foundation
I trust in You all day long
I am Your child
And Your servant
And You are my
Strength and my song
You're my song

Seeking Your face✝️
Touching Your grace
In the cleft of the Rock
In Your presence O God✝️
"In Your presence, O GOD "
Paul Wilbur lyrics

This has always been a big question in any church I've attended, I'm born Again so I go to protestant churches. The idea of pre/mid/post tribulation rapture. I used to believe in mid, but I now believe in pre. The problem I have with believers going through the entire tribulation is that it is something God has never done to His followers. He tells us there will be trials and suffering for our faith, but those hardships and even deaths are caused by unbelievers. Suffering through the Great Tribulation would be a suffering on believers that came from God. He saves his people from His wrath. We are warned to expect suffering from the world but we are promised that when God brings wrath on the wicked it will fall upon His people.

[robbieshipley]

Thank you for posting this inconvenient truth! As a friend taught me to be a "post-trib; pre-wrath" believer, this was a difficult pill to ingest. It is difficult for me to tell others as they cannot stand the notion of this.

[carolynbatyah]

In Matthew 24:29-31 Yeshua/Jesus describes and explains His return and the events which will take place just prior. If this "secret" return is so important to catch, versus the return mentioned in Matthew 24, then why is it not mentioned by Yeshua/Jesus Himself? Why did the authors of the gospel accounts leave this out as well?

[PBAdventures]

He's absolutely correct on this one. There's literally nothing about a pretrib rapture.. In fact, There aren't two verses in the Bible that a single pretrib rapture person can point to for a 7yr tribulation. Its one of the most unbelievable doctrines taught out there.

[FireFirePow]

Definitely, doubtlessly true. The Spirit lead me to this same revelation. Every scripture used to justify a supposed rapture doctrine is misapplied. Those verses all refer to the Day of the Lord, the Resurrection, the Last Day, the Last Trumpet, etc. These are all references to the coming of Christ which will be the day of Judgment. The order of Matthew 24 makes this clear, that after all of the tribulation events is when Christ will return for this so-called rapture. We will have to die and suffer for Christ and for the truth of His word.

Hi! My husband and I love your videos–Especially the ones about the pyramids and how long the Israelites were in Egypt! Excellent work! Curious to know if you’re familiar with Greg Bahnsen, David Chilton, Gary DeMar, Jeff Durbin, or Douglas Wilson? Would love to hear your thoughts on their interpretations of passages alluding to the “End Times.” (I.e. Matthew 24)
Keep up the good work!

[jasonhed]

Wow. There are so many problems with this perspective. No tribulation? No millennial kingdom? No differentiation between the unfulfilled promises for Israel and the body of Christ? He ignoring lots of scripture for a massive oversimplification!

[JesusFreekJiuJitsu]

We’ve been called and encouraged to be hopeful and to endure. We’re never told that we will magically escape.

[jef]

You obviously haven’t studied the scriptures well enough to understand that the Rapture is a Calling Out, not a Second Coming of Christ, before God’s Wrath on the earth in the 7 year Tribulation.
Paul wrote, in 1 Thessalonians 5:9 that we Christians are not given to Wrath, so we need to be out of the way before the tribulation starts.
We are the Temple Of The Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit is the only one holding back the Antichrist, 2 Thessalonians 2:7, and He will get out of the way when the Rapture happens.
This is just a little bit of information that you need to consider, before you speak falsely like that.

[cewilliamsable]

Christ says "I am the resurrection"... he never said anything about a rapture
