Why is the Rapture not mentioned in the Bible? (With Greg Laurie)

Matthew 24 destroys this theory

I know that you are involved with a great work with this movie right now and I too got saved in the Jesus Revolution I know it’s of God because when I just watched the trailer I received a literally a physical manifestation and I know it was the Holy Spirit saying This is Important listen to it and I Rarely have things like that happen so it was multiple waves of energy that caused waves of goosebumps from heat to toe through the end it started at the scene of the baptism I loved listening to your story too as I know how real that time was and I’m praying for this new work of the Holy Spirit with revival. However I believe you are probably wrong on the rapture subject To me the Bible clearly says it will be after some tribulations at least, but I guess we’ll see huh? I always tell people Hey if I’m wrong no problem with that I will be happily wrong If we don’t have to go through it but since we don’t all seem to know for sure better to be prepared spiritually and mentally for it I’m open but I haven’t seen any Biblical conformation of that I’d be interested in your thoughts on this though as a fellow Jesus Person❤

Good word

There is NO trinity in the bible and the word bible is as man made as the rapture. Read Matthew 13 and see who gets taken first! The weeds...

The dead are not in the Harpazo. The "rapture" comes after they're taken up first. We don't know how long it will take to raise the millions of people in the graves and open them up for their bodies to come out. The Harpazo is next. The whole event is not a Rapture. Also, Trinity or Triune God is non existent. The Trinity belief comes from the Antichrist, who is playing God and Jesus even to this day. Learn how to recognize that spirit. Read 1st and 2nd John.

The Bible tells us about a second coming , not three.

You believe it because you have been taught it. NOT IN THE BIBLE. The dead in Christ rise first!!! Who are the dead in Christ? Rev 20 they are the ones killed for not taking the mark of the beast. These came to life and reigned with Jesus for 1,000 years!!!! ONLY THESE! The rest of the dead that is everyone else did not come back to life UNTIL THE 1,000 YEARS HAVE ENDED. 2 THES 2 concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus and our gathering to him (RAPTURE) don't let anyone deceive you by any means FOR IT WILL NOT HAPPEN UNTIL THE FALLING AWAY TAKES PLACE FIRST AND THE MAN OF SIN IS REVEALED WHO SITS IN THE TEMPLE DECLARING HIMSELF TO BE GOD...... DON'T BE DECEIVED BY THESE FALSE TEACHERS. READ THE SCRIPTURES FOR YOURSELF

"the harpozo"? Its not a noun!

Its a verb.

The "rapture" is not a thing, its an action in a series of events which Satan has craftily turned into a "thing" or an event.

The event is the second coming, the day of the Lord.

The rapture is indeed biblical and pretribulational. ✝️👍

The elect are gathered by our Lord and saviour's angels in Matthew chapter 24 verse 31 after the distress of those days meaning after the 7 year tribulation, this is the mentioning of the elect being gathered and there is no pretrib or secret rapture.

Fiction

Respectfully the pre trib secret rapture is a false doctrine with no scriptural basis whatsoever!!!🙏❤️. There is only a Second Coming at the resurrection and Heaven will be on Earth, a restored Earth and creation, not some celestial place.

Yes... but you see... the Rapture IS mentioned in the Bible. Unless, of course, you're either stupid or blind - one of the two.

Fiction

This still hasn't convinced me to believe in this Man-Made Theory.🤷
Jesus Christ did Not Teach the "Rapture". He preached The Second coming. See Matt.24. The Words of Christ Himself.

Proof of A Pre trib Rapture. Pay Attention to the cloud and Cloud's Jesus appears in and With. Acts chapter 1 verses 9 10 11 Cloud. In Red Luke chapter 21 verses 27 and 28 Jesus is coming in A Cloud the Rapture. In Revelation chapter 1 verse 7 Jesus is coming With the Clouds when he comes back to the MT of Olives the second coming

As a Baptist I believed in the Rapture, but when you read the Scriptures and the history of the church, it is not mentioned or addressed... Only in the 1800 a pastor brought this up and became popular... but in the early church and historical books from year 0 to 1800 there is no rapture teaching, only few verses that can be used to justify it... If it was THAT important, why the church leaders and apostles did not teach it very often??? It is important to understand and study the context... 👍 May the Holy Spirit lead us into truth 🙏

Dudes literally a ravenous wolf in sheep's clothing. Wake up people

Yes LORD

What scripture actually points to a pre-trib rapture?

So Jesus will come a 2nd, 2nd time according to the pre-trib rapture 🤦‍♂

So pre-tribers believe Jesus is coming a 2nd time.., then scoop up some people and then come back again (3rd time) to punish sinners....think about it... this doesn't make any sense because that's not what the bible says. When Jesus comes, it will NOT be secret.. every eye will see Him on the last trumpet.. that's what the bible says... don't pay attention to false doctrines.

Matthew 24:29-31 KJV
Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: [30] And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. [31] And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Clear from scripture Jesus will come with all angelic host after the tribulation to take the saints to heaven.

Your opening statement is non-provable. No scripture describes what you just described. It is merely your doctrine of something you think will happen. But it is not what the bible plainly says and that is that there is only one second coming of the Lord at the end of the age (Heb9:27-28) Sorry but you and your family might have to actually endure some persecution for being a christian. Much like believers all over this world that are being persecuted and killed for their testimony while we go about our daily lives untouched. Well sir, if we live long enough and I certainly think we will, there is coming a time of testing of our faith and those that endure to the end will be saved, John Darby, Schofield, Moody, The Late Great Planet Earth author Hal Lindsey, and Tim LaHaye with his Left Behind books and then the movie series have give those who believe this non sense a false sense of hope.

Unfortunately hes wrong. The second coming of christ is the end. After we endure the tribulation. This teaching is relatively new. Other pastors explain it better

why does the Catholic Church reject the idea of a rapture?

The rapture i mentioned several times! The 24 elders represent the raptured church in heaven! Our LORD promised to protect us from the wrath to come! Born again Christians don't even have to worry about the Mark of the beast because the antichrist can not come as long as the wonderful Restrainer, the HOLY SPIRIT is still here. HE will be removed at the rapture. Listen to real theologians like Dr. David Reagan. Dr John Ankerberg, Dr. Chuck Missler, Dr. Ron Rhodes and their guests!

If the sound of God's trumpet and the resurrection of the dead are to happen at Christ's final coming, how can they be a part of the so-called "rapture" in Thessalonians?

Rapture is posttrib. It’s not debatable.
1. Resurrection PRECEDES the rapture. 1 Thessalonians 4. Dead in Christ shall rise first.

2. Jesus said the resurrection is on ‘the last day’ over and over and over in John 6. That is the last day of the age of grace. The last day of life without Christ. And so shall we ever be with the Lord. Obviously then this also means the rapture is on the last day since the resurrection PRECEDES THE RAPTURE.

3. The resurrection / rapture is in Rev 20:4. John says he saw the dead come to life. HERE is the resurrection and rapture. It’s post trib. AFTER Rev 5-19. The church goes through the tribulation. We will not experience Gods wrath just like Israel did not experience Gods wrath when He punished Egypt.

Any other position other than a posttrib rapture twists and distorts Gods Word.

Matthew 24:29-31

The Glorious Return
“But immediately after the tribulation of those days……..And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, ………….And He will send forth His angels with A GREAT TRUMPET and THEY WILL GATHER TOGETHER His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.
———
Jesus Himself says that He is coming back for His church AFTER the tribulation.

How can it get ANY CLEARER????

Stop with the false doctrine of a PreTrib rapture. This bad doctrine of escapism has got to be refuted. Too many people planning their escape instead of filling their lamp with oil.

You jump to Thessalonians but it’s talking about the second coming. Read in context.

The idea of the rapture was started in the 1800's

No rapture because the Holy Spirit will use humans to save the blinded

Do u see how subtle they are? It's what they don't say...

By that same logic, one cannot refute the word purgatory ~

Trib, then resurrection and rapture. CLEARLY revealed in scripture. Admit it, no one came up with this pre trib theory by themselves, except one man. You were taught this and don't really understand it. There is not a pre trib rapture. SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES FOR YOURSELVES, PRAYERFULLY ASK FOR LIGHT FROM ABOVE.

too many people believe they will be spared from the tribulation..
if so, then who is being beheaded ??

Rapture is not biblical

Daniel Ch 12 vs 1-10 also very relevant as to when.

The rapture is not biblical !!!

Woe to false teachers! You have been warned over and over Greg.

It doesn't matter how many people believe there is such a thing as a pre-tribulation Escape, it doesn't make it true because a certain number of people believe it.

Revelation 13:7 which states, "And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them; and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.".

"You shall not finish going through the cities of Israel, until the Son of Man comes.” (Matt. 10:23)
Jesus came back in that generation back then. Read Matthew 16:28.
“There are some of those who are standing here who shall not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.” (Matt. 16:28)
“This generation will not pass away until all these things take place.” (Matt. 24:34). The end of the world meant the end of that old covenant AGE. Jesus did not lie nor was He confused.
“….the age about to come.” (Matt. 12:32)
“The Son of Man is about to come in the glory of His Father with His angels; and will then recompense every man according to his deeds.” (Matt. 16:27)

Because it’s not biblical

Are we, or can we know the actual date of the rapture? Just asking bc i heard that we can...

Oh boy…. How it aligns 100% with Zionism too!

Good Lord, the massive amounts of deception and confusion in these comments are staggerimg.
