The Rapture
The Rapture is a more modern word to describe the Bible event of being "Caught up" to Heaven by Jesus.
Rapturing examples
Genesis 5:24 tells us, "Enoch walked with God; then he was no more, because 👉 God took him
2 Kings 2:1
👉 the Lord was about to take Elijah up to heaven in a whirlwind
2 Kings 2:11
As they were walking along and talking together, suddenly a chariot of fire and horses of fire appeared and separated the two of them, 👉and Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind.
1 Thessalonians 4:17
After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever
Revelation reads as it happens; one thing and then another. So chapter by chapter it plays out. The rapture "being caught up" is when the groom calls the bride out of the world, and we go to the wedding feast [while the world goes thru tribulation]. Scripture is clear. Then we return to reign with Christ in a physical 1,000 year period. And then, "the end".
It is not hard to see this example in Scripture.
>Noah was removed and safe in the ark, when judgment fell.
>God removed Lot from Sodom, when judgment fell
>God will remove believers from earth, when tribulation judgment falls. *He will not have His people go through "judgment" poured out on the unsaved/enemies of God.
