The word [b]'rapture'[/b] is not listed in the English bible. But it is listed in the Latin Vulgate bible, written by Jerome in the early 400's AD. The word there is ‘rapiemur‘, 'raeptius' or 'rapturo' , which translated into English means 'rapture'. It is found here in the English bible: [b]1 Thessalonians 4:17[/b] 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be [b]*caught up*[/b] together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. In English bibles, ‘rapiemur‘, 'raeptius' or 'rapturo' is transliterated into 'caught up'. That happens sometimes during the translation process to try to communicate the point more familiarly. The original Thessalonian manuscripts however were written in Greek. There were actually no 'English' words at all in the original bibles, including the word 'bible' itself. And the original Greek word for 'rapture' is listed in English script as [b]'harpazo'[/b], which means 'to rapture up into the air', or to 'snatch away'. It was this original Greek term 'harpazo' that Jerome later translated into Latin as ‘rapiemur‘, 'raptus' or 'raeptius', which was later translated into English as 'rapture'. These terms all mean the same thing: 'to be caught up'. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapture https://www.raptureready.com/2010/08/09/rapture-myths-by-thomas-ice/ So the rapture is very much a written part of the bible. The only thing being contested is the timing of the rapture. [/quote]

Do not listen to the wolfs in sheep's clothing who have crept into the flock and hope to steal the blessed hope away from you.
1Th 4:15 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
.
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.
1Th 4:18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
You have still been blessed with a little time
so don't waste it.
Turn to the Lord now while you are still able and He will be quick to hear you. But don't take all day about it you could be hit by a bus tomorrow and then where would you be.
