WHAT IS THE RAPTURE
There Are Three Things You Need To Know
First of all, let me say this. Because people may come to this site for reasons other than seeking to know the plan of GOD, I must make
this statement. Many times, I have displayed signs in public concerning the good news, and people who have no clue how life began, or
any curiosity to the fact that the life we live is a complete mystery, somehow feel that those who believe there is a GOD, is somehow
mentally disturbed, yet they see the same evidence, and completely ignore it, and the fact that life is a great mystery. They live their
entire lives, satisfied not knowing how life began, or if there is any truth to what the bible says.
this statement. Many times, I have displayed signs in public concerning the good news, and people who have no clue how life began, or

entire lives, satisfied not knowing how life began, or if there is any truth to what the bible says.
For some reason, they lack even the curiosity to at least research what the bible claims, considering that life again is a great mystery,
but choose to laugh and mock those who consider the obvious miracle of life, the beauty of life, and the absolute magnificence of this
existence we as humans found ourselves a part of, not to mention the testimony of the one we call CHRIST, or MESHIACH. Where is
his body? We know this man lived, and was crucified by the roman empire, but his body cannot be located. Even the bodies of ancient
pharaohs, have been found, but the body of this man who was nailed to a cross by Rome, which is a historical fact of roman capital
punishment , cannot be found. Even the burial sites of others who claimed to be sent by GOD, are with us, and are visited by their
followers, Yet people still feel a need to laugh at people that have considered all this evidence, and believe there is something to this
message of the gospel.

People have been healed of sickness and disease, including myself, in the name of, and by the power of the one we call CHRIST, and people refuse
to even consider this reality, but choose to laugh, and make jokes about those that believe. So what I have to say to those people is this. Those who
believe the bible is the word of GOD, have to be considered more sound in mind, because we do not look in the face of an obvious mystery and say,
we are not interested, and then have a big laugh about those who are interested. We set aside time to research the report of this book we call the
bible, and were convinced that it is the true and living word of the MOST HIGH GOD. We once were unenlightened as unbelievers are, but we
decided to do research on GOD, and we no longer laugh, but have been delivered from deception.

WHAT IS THE RAPTURE
NOW
I'M GOING TO MAKE THIS SHORT AND SWEET
THE BIBLE DOES NOT MENTION THE WORD RAPTURE
Acts 8:39 says And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip , that the eunuch saw him no
more: and he went on his way rejoicing .
more: and he went on his way rejoicing .
2 Corinthians 12:2 says I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell ; or whether out of the body,
I cannot tell : God knoweth ;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.
I cannot tell : God knoweth ;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.
2 Corinthians 12:4 says How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter .
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 says For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the
trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:. Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds,
to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. This is the rapture scripture.

THE WORD THE BIBLE MENTIONS IS CAUGHT UP, TAKEN, OR CAUGHT AWAY
Acts 1:9-11 says And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld , he was taken up ; and a cloud received him out of their sight. 10
And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up , behold , two men stood by them in white apparel; 11 Which also said , Ye men
of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye
have seen him go into heaven.

have seen him go into heaven.
HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT WE CALL THE RAPTURE, OR CATCHING UP
2 Kings 2:11 says And it came to pass, as they still went on , and talked , that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of
fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. And Elisha saw it, and he cried , My father, my father, the
chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces.

Genesis 5:24 says And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE RAPTURE
PURPOSE ONE: John 14:1 says Let not your heart be troubled : ye believe in God, believe also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many
mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and
receive you unto myself; that where I am , there ye may be also.

receive you unto myself; that where I am , there ye may be also.
PURPOSE TWO: Matthew 26:29 says But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new
with you in my Father's kingdom. This is speaking of a celebration that will take place in HEAVEN called, the marriage supper of the lamb.

PURPOSE THREE: 1 Peter 5:4 says And when the chief Shepherd shall appear , ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
