| I believe that the church will be raptured at the time of the second coming...at the end of the world. I do not believe that any sort of rapture will take place before the end of the world...such as before the great tribulation or before some sort of 1000 year earthly kingdom...
I can't say that I don't believe in the rapture at all...but I don't believe in what most people think of as the rapture. |

Never found the word Rapture in the bible, but I do believe in the second coming and all that goes with it. |

| Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. - 1 Thes 4:17
The greek word that is translated "will be caught up" is harpazō. In the Latin Vulgate, that word is translated as rapiemur which is where we get the english word rapture.
So...yeah...the word is in the Bible... |

| Perfect explanation for the increase of the modern extraterrestrial mythos.
In that such a mythos will make a good excuse for such a thing happening.. if it gets promot5ed for and wide enough. |
