What do you think about the Rapture
Here is a video explaining the Rapture. The doctrine of the Rapture is taught in several places in scripture, the most popular is First Thessalonians 4:13-18, where we get the word "Rapture". The Latin translation of the Greek word Harpazo means to be "Caught Up". Harpazo in the Greek has a forceful meaning, it means:to seize (in various applications): - catch (away, up), pluck, pull, take (by force). This doctrine is not only affirmed here but also in I Corinthians 15:50-53, Matthew 24:36-44.
The doctrine is when Christ returns for His church, they will be caught up into his presence in an instant, they will be called to meet Jesus in the clouds and be transformed if they are alive and resurrected if they are dead in the Lord.
1Th 4:13-18
(13) But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
(14) For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
(15) For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
(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.
(18) Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
