The
Rapture is the
technical term for the Biblical explanation of the resurrection of both
the
living and the dead in Christ occurring at the end of the church age,
(in a moment of time) that is those who have trusted in Jesus
Christ by
believing that he
paid for their sins on the cross of Calvary.
See
the explanation of the
technical word rapture, in the Bible verses below-
Behold,
I
shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all
be
changed,
(1 Corinthians 15:51)
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.
(1 Corinthians 15:52)
For
this corruptible
must put on incorruption, and this mortal must
put on immortality.
(1 Corinthians 15:53)
underlining
added.
As
a footnote
to this subject we would like to point out that if you googled the word
rapture, you would get literally thousands of different people setting
thousands of different dates for the rapture, even though the Bible
says no one
knows the day or the hour:
“But
of that
day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are
in
heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.”
(Mark 13:32)
Bible believers that study
the Bible the way the
Bible says it should be studied usually quote the above Bible verse,
see the
article on : How to
study the Bible.
