Bible Rapture and History

 Is the Rapture in the Bible & Where Does the Word "Rapture" Come From?

Our word Rapture derives from the Latin translation of 1 Thessalonians 4:17, which translates the Greek harpazo (to catch up or carry away) as rapiemur from the Latin rapio. Harpazo occurs fourteen times(*) in the New Testament with four variations of meaning, each contributing to our understanding of the Rapture.

😇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 Thessalonians 4:17

. Oh, what a glorious day!
