Roll Your Eyes All You Want… The Rapture Is Real
By Greg Laurie - https://harbingersdaily.com/roll-your-eyes-all-you-want-the-rapture-is-real/
Is the Rapture real? There’s always debate around this topic.
Let’s start with the obvious: the Rapture sounds crazy. Jesus descends from Heaven, dead people rise from their graves, and living believers are suddenly caught up into the sky—like the world’s strangest episode of “Stranger Things.” Sounds like the stuff your uncle mutters about after three cups of church coffee. Except—the Rapture is right there in Scripture. Paul says it. John says it. Jesus says it.
Opposing Views
Now, critics like to pounce: “But the word Rapture isn’t even in the Bible!” Neither are the words Trinity or even Bible. And yet, here we are, still believing in all three. The word comes from the Latin rapturus, which translates the Greek word harpazo—meaning “to snatch up, grab by force.” Imagine a parent reaching out and pulling their child away from danger just in time. That’s the picture Scripture gives us of the Rapture.

Another Step Closer To The End Of The Age

The world is getting closer and closer to the end of this age. Even though we are not privy to the exact day or hour or even minute that the Rapture will take place and the 7-year tribulation will start, world issues are starting that show we are on the Biblical track leading to those events. (ESV – all emphasis is mine.)
First, we must understand that only the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit know exactly when all will happen, and our concept of time does not apply to them. It could be tomorrow or even several years, but all will take place eventually, just as prophecy tells us it will. Our part is to be prepared, as we’re not guaranteed another day here.
As a reminder, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 and 1 Corinthians 15:52-53 tell us of the coming of the Lord to call us up to meet Him in the air.
