Great bible prophecy rapture teaching

[Shaarona]

YES!!! SATAN,DEMONS AND HIS THOSE THAT ALLOW SATAN TO USE THEM AS HIS TOOLS AND FOOLS FIGHT THE ""RAPTURE"" (CATCHING UP OF BELIEVERS) BELIERVE GOD'S WORD THE "CATCHING UP" ""IS"" THE RAPRURE!!! 1 THESSALIOANS 4:13-18==13 But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. 15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain will be """caught up"" together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.

you spread fear and hate.
FEAR AND HATE???????? DID YOU MISS VERSE 18???? ==18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.

stop right THERE.

because right there is the clear sign you are not spreading the word of Jesus Christ but some invented lies. That sentence is in direct contradictions with what He taught.

Be interested in someone giving me the chapter and verse that describes the concept of the Rapture.

I'll give you a link:

What is the Rapture of the church?

How the Word “Rapture” or “Harpazō” is used in the Bible.

1 Thessalonians 4:17 Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up (harpaz&#333 together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Strong's G726 - harpazō
1) to seize, carry off by force
2) to seize on, claim for one's self eagerly
3) to snatch out or away
AV — catch up 4, take by force 3, catch away 2, pluck 2, catch 1, pull 1

Greek Lexicon :: G726 (KJV)

Matthew 11:12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take (harpaz&#333 it by force (harpaz&#333.

Matthew 13:19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth [it] not, then cometh the wicked [one], and catcheth away (harpaz&#333 that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. it by force (harpaz&#333.

Matthew 13:19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth [it] not, then cometh the wicked [one], and catcheth away (harpaz&#333 that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.

John 6:15 ¶ When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force (harpaz&#333, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone.

John 10:12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth (harpaz&#333 them, and scattereth the sheep.

John 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall (harpaz&#333 never perish, neither shall any [man] pluck (harpaz&#333 them out of my hand.

John 10:29 My Father, which gave [them] me, is greater than all; and no [man] is able to pluck (harpaz&#333 [them] out of my Father's hand.

Acts 8:39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away (harpaz&#333 Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.

Acts 23:10 And when there arose a great dissension, the chief captain, fearing lest Paul should have been pulled in pieces of them, commanded the soldiers to go down, and to take (harpaz&#333 him by force (harpaz&#333 from among them, and to bring [him] into the castle.

2 Corinthians 12:2 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth such an one caught up (harpaz&#333 to the third heaven.

2 Corinthians 12:4 How that he was caught (harpaz&#333 up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.

1 Thessalonians 4:17 Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up (harpaz&#333 together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Jude 1:23 And others save with fear, pulling (harpaz&#333 [them] out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

Revelation 12:5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up (harpaz&#333 unto God, and [to] his throne.

If anyone sees any errors, please bring it to my attention and if anyone has anything positive to share within the rules, please do so.

Reading 1 Thess. 4 in its' entirety, my first thought is how modern cults often control members' sexuality which is exactly what the text is trying to do:

3 It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; 4 that each of you should learn to control your own body[a] in a way that is holy and honorable, 5 not in passionate lust like the pagans, who do not know God; 6 and that in this matter no one should wrong or take advantage of a brother or sister. The Lord will punish all those who commit such sins, as we told you and warned you before. 7 For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life. 8 Therefore, anyone who rejects this instruction does not reject a human being but God, the very God who gives you his Holy Spirit.

Then it goes on into the cited verse 17:

Believers Who Have Died

13 Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. 14 For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. 15 According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 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. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words.

If you get 'Rapture' from that ok. I get 'cult trying to impose control on its' followers dictating how to think about their own bodies, and their own lives and deaths.'

BELIEVERS! OUR PERISHABLE BODY WILL ON RAPTURE DAY BE CHANGED TO IMPERISHABLE, OUR MORTAL BODY WILL BE CHANGED(MADE NEW) AND PUT ON IMMORTALITY!!!==1Cr 15:47 Adam, the first man, was made from the dust of the earth, while Christ, the second man, came from heaven.

1Cr 15:48 Earthly people are like the earthly man, and heavenly people are like the heavenly man.

1Cr 15:49 Just as we are now like the earthly man, we will someday be like the heavenly man.

1Cr 15:50 What I am saying, dear brothers and sisters, is that our physical bodies cannot inherit the Kingdom of God. These dying bodies cannot inherit what will last forever.

1Cr 15:51 But let me reveal to you a wonderful secret. We will not all die, but we will all be transformed!

1Cr 15:52 It will happen in a moment, in the blink of an eye, when the last trumpet is blown. For when the trumpet sounds, those who have died will be raised to live forever. And we who are living will also be transformed.

1Cr 15:53 For our dying bodies must be transformed into bodies that will never die; our mortal bodies must be transformed into immortal bodies.

1Cr 15:54 Then, when our dying bodies have been transformed into bodies that will never die, [fn] this Scripture will be fulfilled: "Death is swallowed up in victory.

1Cr 15:55 O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?"

1Cr 15:56 For sin is the sting that results in death, and the law gives sin its power.

1Cr 15:57 But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ.

1Cr 15:58 So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.

Truth!!!!!!!!!!! Best get your head out of the sand,this age is abouty to end,jesus is at the door ready tio return, jesus said we believers would know when that time comes and """now""" is that time!!! Believe and accept jesus as your lord and savior now or ********!!

Only believers will know that the invisible messiah is here already, not Christian unbelievers who are waiting for a visible messiah to appear in the clouds.

The religious Jewish Pharisees didn't know how to interpret the prophecies, either.

He clearly stated that NOBODY but the Father knows the time of Second Coming - and that is what Paul is talking about in Thessalonians and all other quotes you provided as well.
The signs is still not the exact time.

And they are very far to be fulfilled as well, btw.

except these quoted have nothing to do with any raptures - but everything to do with the Second Coming and Last Judgement.

It's about the End of Times a.k.a. Last Judgement which happens at the Second Coming.

The Wisdom of Ben Sira / Sirach Chapter 1

God’s Gift of Wisdom*

1All wisdom* is from the Lord

and remains with him forever.a

2The sands of the sea, the drops of rain,

the days of eternity—who can count them?

3Heaven’s height, earth’s extent,

the abyss and wisdom—who can explore them?

4Before all other things wisdom was created;

and prudent understanding, from eternity.†

6The root of wisdom—to whom has it been revealed?

Her subtleties—who knows them?† b

8* There is but one, wise and truly awesome,

seated upon his throne—the Lord.

9It is he who created her,

saw her and measured her,c

Poured her forth upon all his works,

10upon every living thing according to his bounty,

lavished her upon those who love him.
Fear of the Lord Is Wisdom*

11The fear of the Lord* is glory and exultation,

gladness and a festive crown.

12The fear of the Lord rejoices the heart,

giving gladness, joy, and long life.†

13Those who fear the Lord will be happy at the end,

even on the day of death they will be blessed.

14The beginning of wisdom is to fear the Lord;

she is created with the faithful in the womb.d

15With the godly she was created from of old,

and with their descendants she will keep faith.

16The fullness of wisdom is to fear the Lord;

she inebriates them with her fruits.e

17Their entire house she fills with choice foods,

their granaries with her produce.

18The crown of wisdom is the fear of the Lord,

flowering with peace and perfect health.†

19Knowledge and full understanding she rains down;

she heightens the glory of those who possess her.

20The root of wisdom is to fear the Lord;

her branches are long life.

21The fear of the Lord drives away sins;

where it abides it turns back all anger.

22Unjust anger can never be justified;

anger pulls a person to utter ruin.

23* Until the right time, the patient remain calm,

then cheerfulness comes back to them.

24Until the right time they hold back their words;

then the lips of many will tell of their good sense.

25Among wisdom’s treasures is the model for knowledge;

but godliness is an abomination to the sinner.

26If you desire wisdom, keep the commandments,

and the Lord will bestow her upon you;

27For the fear of the Lord is wisdom and discipline;

faithfulness and humility are his delight.

28Do not disobey the fear of the Lord,*

do not approach it with duplicity of heart.f

29Do not be a hypocrite before others;

over your lips keep watch.

30Do not exalt yourself lest you fall

and bring dishonor upon yourself;

For then the Lord will reveal your secrets

and cast you down in the midst of the assembly.

Because you did not approach the fear of the Lord,

and your heart was full of deceit.

scripture

There was a time when this book was held in high regard by the Church. Clearly there is a lot of wisdom in it.

The message of Christianity is the gifts of Redemption, Deliverance, and Salvation. We know Who's terms those rely on, right? How about we start real easy with the basics. Measure twice, cut once.

[Intense]

YOUR CHOICE GOD'S INSPIRED(GOD BREATHED) WORD OR little MAN'S IDEAS AND OPINIONS!!! DUH!!!!

God first in all things, through Conscience. You need to slow it down and recalibrate, your bearings are off. Salvation comes neither from you nor I, but from The Father, through the Son. Instead of worrying about interpretations, or the blind leading the blind, have some Faith in His plan, and the patience to endure. Consider that, not Everyone meant to be reached, has yet been reached. It is Not for You nor I to decide either who is on that list, or when their time to finally choose, is up. Comprende? Good. How about trying to focus on the positive message and fruit of the written word, as opposed to shooting blindly into the dark?

 

[GISMYS]

1Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need to have anything written to you. 2For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. 3While people are saying, “There is peace and security,” then sudden destruction will come upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. 4But you are not in darkness, brothers, for that day to surprise you like a thief. 5For you are all children of light, children of the day. We are not of the night or of the darkness. 6So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober. 7For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, are drunk at night. 8But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation. 9For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, 10who died for us so that whether we are awake or asleep we might live with him. 11Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.
1 Thessalonians 5.1-11===========THE RAPTURE OF BELIEVERS IS NOT THE SAME EVENT AS THE SECOND COMMING OF JESUS TO EARTH!!!THE RAPTURE COMES LIKE A THIEF IN THE NIGHT BUT THE SECOND RETURN OF JESUS IS SEE BY ALL THE WORLD!!!
