Did you know that the word, "Rapture", is not in the Bible and the concept has been denounced by many, well known writers, Christian and Non-Christian, alike, as a New Testament Lie? It is true, that the actual word, "Rapture", is not in the Bible. However, the concept is not only in the New Testament, it's in the Old Testament, as well. For those who don't know what the Rapture, it is the act of removing believers, from the Earth, upon Y'shua's, Jesus' return. Most Believers can tell you that it is referenced in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18, John 14:3 and Matthew 24:30-31. It occurs sometime before the Wrath of God occurs. But the Rapture can also be found, prophesied, in Isaiah 26:19-21. People Get Ready, For The Train Is Coming.
"Thy dead shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead. Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain."
I believe it is very close. There are many things, including the gifts of the Spirit, that are not accepted. It is, as Y'shua (I love His true name) said it would be, the time when the tares have come into the kingdom of Heaven
ReplyDeleteHi Brenda. Yes, I agree. There hasn't been any previous time, that God has been more blashphemed, than today. The only exception was just before the Flood of Noah, and you know what happened then.
