What Does the Bible Teach about the Rapture?

Is the rapture taught in the Bible? What is Paul teaching in 1 Corinthians 15:51 and 1 Thessalonians 4:13? What does it mean to be left behind?

    If you wish I can send it to you via email. My email address is: sthilary@trinityfredericktown.net FWIW - I am a Lutheran pastor. I received my B.A. in biblical studies at Palm Beach Atlantic University (a S.B.C. school in West Palm Beach, FL. ). As the only Lutheran in the pre-ministerial program I had many opportunities to discuss and debate theology with my Baptist's brothers in Christ. Pax.

    mmcleod06: btw - I should have mentioned that I am referring to an article Pastor McFadden wrote for the Issues' Etc. Journal a number of years ago. He was a Baptist for 60 years and a pastor for 40. Though he was high in the General Baptist's echelon, he became dissatisfied with the theology. This drove him back throughout the history of what he believed and ended up at the Lutheran Reformation. He is now a L.C.M.S. pastor in Fort Wayne, IN. Pax.

    @mal'ak emeth you said all of this but didn't give one reference, not one single verse from the bible not taken out of context to support a pretrib rapture. I think the main reason pretrib Believers don't hear or acknowledge points pertaining to post trib rapture is because you don't want to hear it. You're afraid and pretrib teaching comforts you. Let's say for instance you're right though. The pre-trib rapture is truth. What makes you think you won't be persecuted and possibly killed before the tribulation starts? Why are you more special than Christians in China and the Islamic countries who are experiencing persecution and death as we speak. I'm prepared for anything. If I'm wrong, great but what do you say to the martyrs over the past 2000 years when it comes to a pre trib rapture? Why weren't they saved from the hour of temptation?

    @mal'ak emeth I think you kind of missed the point. I understand the tribulation hasn't started. But I don't think you understand you haven't been persecuted in the manner which I'm speaking. I'm talking about being tracked down, running for your life, narrowly escaping with your life. The way the people who I'm referring to have. You said you can give so much evidence and it says plain as day that we will be magically caught up before the death and persecution begins but you still haven't. You bring up John Darby but I didn't say anything about him. I'm speaking strictly from the word of God. Where does it say a rapture will occur, hell will break loose on Earth and then a matter of years later Christ will come back again? The only thing I read in the Bible is Christ's first coming and his second coming. Is it II Thessalonians chapter 2 you referring to? As I said, you should probably read that entire chapter and not take it out of context because there is absolutely nowhere in the Bible that says we're going to avoid this persecution. Are we going to avoid God's wrath? Yes. That's what you're referring to and just don't know it. That's the second coming. The end. When it's all said and done. The end of the story. Why would I be condemned to hell because I'm not clear on a scripture if I believe that Jesus Christ is Lord and that he died for my sins? I read the Bible and I don't believe in any way that you're going to hell because you believe in the rapture. He is not willing that any should perish. Correct? So maybe it's you who doesn't have an understanding of what the word actually says.

Just to let you know I don't feel that way towards you at all

    It does say that we will be “caught up” to meet the Lord in the air. And the word “rapture” is simply the Latin-based word for “caught up.” In other words, we Christians will be “raptured,” “caught up,” to meet Jesus in the air when he comes again. This is true. But it’s what the Rapture teachers tack onto that, and how they misunderstand it-that’s where they go wrong.

    Watch a film by Paul Wittenberg called AFTER THE TRIBULATION, Also research on KZread videos, Did Enoch and Elijah really go to heaven ? Remember that Christ said that no man has ascended into Heaven except the son of man which is in Heaven, in the book of Hebrews ch 11 there is a list of people who have. DIED. in the faith not having received the promises including. ENOCH. ELIJAH was taken Into the air ( the first heaven ) not the third heaven ! And placed in another location, years later he wrote a letter to king jehorahm, HOW ? If he was taken Into the third heaven , those who believe in a pretribulation rapture theology will probably be deceived by the antichrist WHY ? Because they are looking for the return of Christ before the antichrist is revealed THINK ABOUT IT, Satan is counting on people To keep believing in a pretribulation rapture theology,

    Love your videos so far.. been watching your videos for a few weeks now and really been compelling serious thought on a few things... I believe in Christ as my lord and savior ... I can’t remember if I was ever dipped, sprinkled or immersed in water in baptism but I believed that I was baptized with the holy spirit in the name of the father, son and the Holy Spirit sometime ago when I first started to follow Christ when I was around 16 or so. I have wrestled with a few doctrines that I have heard in the church i have been at since then and even in the Bible study that I have been committed to the past 5 years and have confidence that the holy spiritual leads me into all truth which brings me to want to thank you for your videos. I believe the Holy Spirit lead me to your videos. What I really appreciate about your videos is the amount of scripture you go to . You don’t go to your own ideas, philosophy or logic you just simply let the scripture speak and I love that. 2. Love your style of video making has made watching your videos very comfortable and easy to follow . 3. Your tone is very humble and I can really get the impression that you love the lord and love his word . Thank you brother wolf mueller for your time in putting these videos together.

Matthew 24 3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and WHAT SHALL BE THE SIGN OF THY COMING, AND THE END OF THE WORLD? 4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, TAKE HEED THAT NO MAN DECEIVE YOU. 5 For MANY shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall DECEIVE MANY. Matthew 24 29 IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE TRIBULATION OF THOSE DAYS shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and then the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 30 And then SHALL APPEAR THE SIGN OF THE SON OF MAN IN HEAVEN: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

The very first thing Jesus commands you to do is "TAKE HEED THAT NO MAN DECEIVE YOU. MANY will come in his name a nd DECEIVE MANY. The "pretrib rapture" is that very thing there are MANY teachers, MANY preachers, MANY churches, MANY books and even movies that push that FABLE since Jesus answers the question directly when asked.

    I think, in the days of Noha, those who were taken were taken for life and those who left behind were perished. In the same way, as written in Matthew, believers will be taken up and non believers will stay back. Thesolenuans tells the same - the living at that time will be taken up and will remain with the Lord. Rapture doesn't just means rising of the dead believers and changing of the living believers but it also means taking up of the believers to the Lord and staying with him for ever.

    Amen.🙏🏼 The whole purpose of the rapture is for God to take his church with Him and deliver us from the tribulation. Those who will be left behind will have to “DIE FOR JESUS”. It’s going to be brutal. Man will be forced to become of one religion. If they don’t, they will be killed, Beheaded. If they choose to ‘DIE FOR JESUS”they inherit the kingdom of God in that very moment after they are killed. I Don’t know about you, but I would rather be lifted up during the rapture then to have to face such Torture. Revelation 20:4 Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. Remember during the rapture , the Holy Spirit will leave the earth and go up with us. That means that God’s hand will be lifted off the earth and all hell is going to break loose.. The Grace Period WILL be over. LISTEN, You do NOT want to be left behind to experience so much evil and pain. If you think there is evil now? this is NOTHING compared to what’s coming. Listen reader, If we don’t believe in the rapture and our heart’s , souls and minds aren’t seeking and waiting for the rapture, You’re not going. Jesus is coming for his bride. You are invited to this wedding. I don’t know about you but when I’ve been invited to a wedding I love preparing for it. Thinking about what I will wear and the date getting closer gets me excited to be part of that wedding. In this case we don’t know the time or the day , and what we wear will not matter. The only preparation is with our soul . Receive Christ in your heart as your Lord and Savior now. He will clothe you. I personally can’t stop thinking about it, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, telling people about it! The signs that the Bible teaches of things happening BEFORE the rapture , ARE happening now. One example , The building of The Temple. 🙌🏼Praise be to God!! 🙌🏼🙏🏼 The gospel is very clear and very simple May God bless you. .People get ready!. ❤️

    Rapture is 100% a biblical event and described in detail in the holy bible. God will spare those who keep hes word from tribulation. Revelation 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.” 1 Thessalonians 5:2 2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. Matthew 24:41 Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. Luke 17:34-37 King James Version 34 I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. 35 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 36 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 37 And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together. 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 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. 1 Corinthians 15:52-54 KJV In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

    Jesus is very clear.

The non-denomination denominations (who “go by the Bible”- LOL) are deceived into believing their pre trib rapture heresy.

    emanuel kournianos I have always attended a Baptist church before last year and am still pretty young, a freshman in college. I attend a non denominational church now that seems almost the exact same as my previous church. Not sure what I believe about the rapture and tribulation but like those verses said, all believers will be with God eternally on the last day. I think in the end it isn’t essential what you believe about the rapture, and is an open handed argument, obviously some denominations will be wrong in the end but it isn’t what determines salvation. What is important is that believers believe that Jesus Christ was sent to die for our sins and without Gods grace we can’t be saved.

Verse 40 speaks of the last day of the tribulation! Two different days just as Jesus described in scripture! In Luke 17:22, Jesus tells us there are ‘days’ of the Son of Man. ‘Days’ is plural. There is more than one ‘day’ of the Son of man. Jesus says that we will ‘long to see ONE of them and will not see.’ Jesus gives different descriptions of these ‘days’ to two different groups of people. The first description of a Day of the Son of Man is given in Matthew 24:3-31, Mark 13:3-27 and Luke 21:5-28. In these verses, the DISCIPLES ask Jesus for the sign of His coming, and Jesus answers them with a list of signs which are included in the book of Revelation and comprise what is widely accepted as the Tribulation. Jesus ends each of these passages with a pictorial description of His second coming, that those on earth will watch Him arrive in the clouds with much power and glory. In Revelation 19:11-21, John gives us even more detail right down to describing Jesus’ eyes as He approaches earth. This coming of Christ to earth will be witnessed by everyone. It is the one by which people will know their redemption draws near. Luke 21:27-28. However, in Luke 17:20, the PHARISEES ask Jesus about the coming of God’s kingdom. Jesus tells them ‘the kingdom of God comes without observation’ (ocular evidence 3907). Kingdom is defined by the Greek as ‘royalty, rule or realm,’ (932). So, Jesus tells the Pharisees that the royalty of God comes without visible signs. Jesus is not talking about His millennial kingdom. He is saying the kingdom of God is Him, He is the royalty of God and will come without ocular evidence or visible signs. In verse 21, Jesus goes on to say, “nor will they say, Lo here, Lo there!” For behold the kingdom of God is in your midst (defined as inside or within 1787).” Here, Jesus states that no one will see Him ahead of time, no one will exclaim His coming, only that He will appear within His people. 1 John 3:2, that when we see Him, we shall be like Him. When Jesus appears to us in the clouds, we will be like Him. He will be within us in an unprecedented way. So, Jesus says one of His days has signs and one doesn’t. Since the second coming is preceded by all the signs of the tribulation, the rapture must be the day of the Son of Man which has no signs. Using these instructions from Jesus, it is pretty simple to separate the rapture scriptures from the second coming scriptures. For example: 1 Thessalonians 4:17 has no visible signs, Jesus just shows up and collects those who belong to Him, so it refers to the rapture. 2 Thessalonians 2 has the signs of the ‘falling away’ and the appearance of the man of sin, so it references the second coming. This same method, given by Jesus, applies to every end time scripture. This is the reason I know 1 John 3:2 references the rapture and not the second coming. It clearly states that when Jesus is revealed, we will be like Him, without listing any preceding signs. Please trust Jesus to deliver you as He promises. If you miss the rapture there is no escape from the tribulation. 1 Thess. 5:3.

    @@landonnorris3602, agreed. But the thing I've noticed about pre-tribbers is how angry they become when you state you don't agree with their timing of Jesus's return. I've been told I'm a fake Christian, that I'm not saved, that the Holy Spirit doesn't abide in me, that even martyrdom won't make me righteous in God's eyes and that I'm sinning by attempting to rob them of their blessed hope. None of that is true but the vehemence of their defense causes me to wonder if they harbor doubts or just aren't willing to suffer as Christians have suffered since Jesus was crucified. It's what Christ told us to expect.

    1Th 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the DEAD IN CHRIST shall rise first: 1Th 4:17 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. NOTICE (the dead in Christ) and (WE) the believers it won’t be a public event, it’s only for the believers the body of Christ. Remember when God spoke to Moses in the Mountain? Listen to what he heard Exo 19:19 And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice. what did the people heard? Exo 20:18 And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off. Exo 20:19 And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die. I believe that’s what the world will hear in the rapture thunder and lightning, but we the believers will hear he’s voice ☺️

    The verses you're quoting were concerned with judgement. All fulfilled in 70 AD at the judgement of apostate Jerusalem. The "changing" or resurrection was covenantal language and symbolises the changing of the covenant, out of the Old and into the New Covenant, which was fulfilled in 70 AD with the passing away of the Old Covenant age and the birth of the New Covenant age of the church. The New Testament was written to a 1st century audience.

The dispensational model of a secret, catching away, followed by a 7 year tribulation period is not biblical. In 1 Thessalonians 4:17 Paul is addressing the dead in Christ and their place when Christ comes back. The dead will not miss it, but in fact, will rise first when Christ comes back. There is a “rapture,” there is not a “Pre-trib rapture,” since there is no 7-year tribulation.

    There is no pre-trib rapture. I used to believe in this false idea as well for many years but finally came to finally understand that part of scripture and revelation. There is a rapture that occurs but it's not pre- trib or Post- trib or mid- trib, it's right before God has His angels pour out the seven bowls of God's wrath and the seven plagues. Because we have NOT been saved from the wrath of the anti-christ nor the wrath of man.. but from the wrath of God. Not all of the tribulation in revelation is the wrath of God. Christians will die, be imprisoned and much more for their testimony and faith in Jesus Christ. Also if the pre- trib rapture was true there are many counties that persecute Christians, what do you think is going on in their minds? Do you suppose they are thinking they missed the pre- trib rapture and are not worthy of the Lord but subject to His wrath?? No because they understand the Scriptures.

    When the pretrib rapture happens, it will not be a secret that tens of millions of people have disappeared, which will cause all sorts of destruction. Yes the rapture is the doctrine of comfort, that is why the rapture will happen before the tribulation, because if it didn’t, it wouldn’t be comforting to go through the tribulation. God will not allow the Church to go through God’s divine wrath, which is what the tribulation is. The trib is only for the Nation if Israel and punishment to the wicked. Jesus will come in the clouds with the souls of those who have died in Christ to receive their glorified bodies, while those who are alive and remain are also instantly transformed, meeting Jesus and the others who died in Jesus who were in heaven, in the cloud. Then shall we be in heaven with the Lord. Amen!
