True, the actual word rapture doesn't appear in the bible but the words "caught up" to meet the Lord in the air is definitely there. "Caught" in Greek means [to seize, pluck, pull, take by force, to take for oneself, prefer, choose, to raise]
To me this means we will definitely be taken by force to meet Jesus in the air. 1 Thes 4:16,17 ; Matt 24:40 ; Luke 17:34,35. This happens before the tribulation period of 3.5 yrs and is not the 2nd coming. The mark of the beast happens during the tribulation period.
Rapture in Webster's dictionary means to be carried away by emotion. Very similar so maybe this is where the word originates from.
To Jf on the "rapture ". Please show me in God's Word where the "rapture" is written. Look up John Nelson Darby from 1830 where you'll find the beginnings of the man-made rapture doctrine. Let His Word lead you into all truth.
If so, where is it at in the bible ?
