| Dear Roy: A few are now teaching that the Bible
does not teach that there will be a rapture. I
personally never bought this doctrine; however, in the
Greek, or Hebrew, what does Paul mean when he says,
"...we will all be changed..." etc., etc.?
G.T., Georgia | | | Dear G.T.: Those who declare the Bible does not
teach there will be a rapture probably are referring to
the fact that the word rapture is never mentioned in
the biblical text. Rather, there is the reference by Paul
in I Thessalonians 4:17 of a "catching up together to
meet the Lord in the air."This passage within I
Thessalonians 4:14-18 is reminiscent of Paul's words
in I Corinthians 15:52 of being "...changed in a
moment, in the twinkling of an eye, and raised incorruptible."
The real problem is not if we are going to be caught
up, if we are going to be changed--but when. How is
it all going to happen? That is the point at which we
move from fact into speculation, prognostication, and
error. |
