Rapture
Rapture is NOT in the bible.
Acts 1:9
The Ascension
(Mark 16:19-20; Luke 24:50-53)
6They therefore, when they were come together, asked him, saying, Lord, dost thou at this time restore the kingdom to Israel? 7And he said unto them, It is not for you to know times or seasons, which the Father hath set within His own authority. 8But ye shall receive power, when the Holy Spirit is come upon you: and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea and Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
9And when he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. 10And while they were looking stedfastly into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; 11who also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye looking into heaven? this Jesus, who was received up from you into heaven shall so come in like manner as ye beheld him going into heaven.
This is how Christ will return, just as he left. Seen by 2 witnesses.
1 Thessalonians 4:17
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. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
G726 – ‘Harpazo‘ (shall be caught up)
The strongs # is wrong because sometimes they lump 2 or 3 words together
It’s actually G724 – ‘Harpage‘ – pillage
Extortion(robbery) – is G724
Revelation 12, Isaiah, Jeremiah all are repeating the same thing:
We will be taken to a place where we will be miraculously protected. We will be plundered out the hand of the beast and the false prophet for 1260 days.
How can you get from one end of heaven to other? What does it mean when it says we will get our hinds feet.
References of G724 – Harpage (there are 22 references)
Matthew 23
25Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion(robbery) and excess.
Luke 11:39
39And the Lord said to him, Now do you Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening(robbery) and wickedness.
Hebrews 10:34
34For you had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that you have in heaven a better and an enduring substance.35Cast not away therefore your confidence, which has great recompense of reward. 36For you have need of patience, that, after you have done the will of God, you might receive the promise.
