Why Rapture is not in Bible ?
Summary of The Mystery of The Rapture
- Why Rapture is not in Bible ?
1 Thessalo 4 17
17 then we that are alive, that are left, shall together with them be caught up in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Caught up is in Greek Harparzo
Harparzo is in Latin Raptro
Latin Raptro become in English Rapture
Thats why Caught up is same meaning of Rapture.
Another Rapture in Bible is here, Acts 8:39
And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip; and the eunuch saw him no more, for he went on his way rejoicing.
This caught away Philip means Rapture Philip.
Philip raptured by God.
But He appeared again to Azotus.
Acts 8:40
But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached the gospel to all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.
Why he appeared in the earth not in heaven?
Because he had caught out his mission to share Gospel.
Hallelujah
Why we are still in the earth ?
We have a mission to share Gospel good news to this world.
- Why we must be Rapture ?
John 14:2-3
2 In my Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I come again, and will receive you unto myself; that where I am, ye may be also.
Jesus is preparing our house in heaven !
Philippians 3:20
20 For our citizenship is in heaven; whence also we wait for a Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
Our nationality is in Heaven, but temporary house in this world.
We can not bring our house to heaven, also we can not bring our saving in Bank.
We want to save treasure in heaven, not in this world.
When we became a christian, our own sense of values were changed by God.
“ Save treasure in heaven ! “
The Bible says,
Mat 6
19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal:
20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth consume, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
Mat 13
44 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hidden in the field; which a man found, and hid; and in his joy he goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
Mat 19
21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wouldest be perfect, go, sell that which thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
Ruke 12
33 Sell that which ye have, and give alms; make for yourselves purses which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief draweth near, neither moth destroyeth.
34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
COL 2
3 in whom are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge hidden.
James 5
3 Your gold and your silver are rusted; and their rust shall be for a testimony against you, and shall eat your flesh as fire. Ye have laid up your treasure in the last days.
- Only one condition to be Rapture .
John 11
24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth on me, though he die, yet shall he live;
To believe on Jesus!
This is the same meaning that to believe Jesus is to follow Jesus.
Mat 24
41 two women grinding at the mill; one is taken, and one is left.
42 Watch therefore: for ye know not on what day your Lord cometh.
Mat 24
36 But of that day and hour knoweth no one, not even the angels of heaven, neither the Son, but the Father only.
37 And as the days of Noah, so shall be the coming of the Son of man.
38 For as in those days which were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,
39 and they knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall be the coming of the Son of man.
Mat 24
35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
See you in Heaven
