Rapture

It all depends on one’s interpretation on the timing of what’s called the rapture; an event where God removes believers from the earth by a super-natural snatching away of the saints. Again, I don’t want to get bogged down into various theological interpretations having to do with the timing of these things because that is beyond the scope of this book. I have always leaned toward what is called a pre-tribulational rapture;…

believers that come to faith during the tribulation. It all depends on one’s interpretation on the timing of the rapture — God’s removal of believers from the earth by a super-natural snatching away. Various theological interpretations regarding the rapture’s particular timing in regards to The Tribulation is beyond the scope of this book. I have always favored a pre-tribulational rapture; the removing of God’s believers before the seven-year time period known as the tribulation. I will make my…

Nobody knew when the Rapture will occur, and not even on the Bible. there is not time or date for the event. 8 “However, no one knows the day or hour when these things happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father knows. “When the Son of Man returns, it will be like it was in Noah’s day. In those days before the flood, the people were enjoying banquets and parties and weddings right up to the time Noah entered his boat. People didn’t realize what was going to happen…

Religion for example, the freedom to worship is not recognized or accepted in many countries. You have non-believers who mock those who practice their faith in Jesus. This, I see is also a form of tribulation. With all that said, tribulation and rapture will be a time of great pain. But all that pain can be avoided if one puts their trust in the Lord. I think that is what author tries to convey at the end. Things are going to get worse before it gets better, but people should not give up on…

According to our class discussion/lecture, the Rapture in not this necessarily this nightmaric event, but a time of joy and praise because society gets to meet and be with Jesus. This event will most likely cover the span on seven years and will be filled with hard work and times. Many believe that the Rapture will begin with the Anti-Christ appearing and attempting to draw people away from Christ. 1 Corinthians 10:13 proclaims…

Eschatology is “a branch of theology concerned with the final events in the history of the world or of humankind.” The Christian teaching of Eschatology sometimes pulls in a belief in the Rapture in which some believe the world will be destroyed, a literal reading of The Bible says, “Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth. The former heaven and the former earth had passed away, and the sea was no more” (Rev 21:1). This seems to in a literal sense state the world will be destroyed. In this…

come back to their senses after the sudden and unexpected disappearance of multitudes of Christian believers. (ii) A thief comes to steal that which is costly. There is no stupid thief that can risk his life to steal something cheap. Likewise, at rapture, Jesus is coming to snatch up believers who have been purchased “not by corruptible things such as silver and gold, but by His precious blood” (I Peter…

The Rapture refers to when Christ comes out of the clouds and calls His fellow believers up to heaven. The term Pre-Tribulation simple means that the Rapture happens before the Tribulation. Post-Tribulation refers to the concept that the Rapture would happen after the Tribulation. The Tribulation is the 7-year period of God's wrath on the world (Rev. 6:17). The Second Coming is when Jesus Christ returns to Earth as Ruler and King; it is not the Rapture. Whether the tribulation…

timeline starts with the rapture. All the good people are taken to heaven. Following the rapture is a time of tribulation. Then, after the tribulation, Jesus comes again to get everyone who used the time of tribulation as a second chance to go to heaven. This is followed by the millennium. The timeline ends with the final judgement. Theologians are divided over where in the timeline the rapture actually is. This allows people to ignore religious stuff until the rapture because they get a…

his personal beliefs on Rapture’s citizens, predominantly Atheism. Over the city’s brief existence, the people did not forsake God; rather, Christianity became the underground religion of Rapture, and smugglers made their living dealing out religious paraphernalia. Such is the jaded concept of freedom in Rapture. It is not true or limitless. It is Andrew Ryan’s personal, and misguided, attempt at a personal utopia, in which others promised the same greatness are only allowed to have it be so if…
