Scripture promises that Jesus delivers His bride from the wrath to come known as the time of Jacob’s trouble and the great tribulation ( 1 Thessalonians:1:10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come. Wherefore comfort one another with these words. 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. 1 Thessalonians:4:16-18 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: In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. Paul tells us that the event is a mystery in which all believers will be miraculously changed when the Lord descends from heaven and catches them up to meet Him in the air, promising that they shall always be with Him ( 1 Corinthians:15:51-52 Behold, I shew you a mystery We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, See All., where Jesus tells his disciples (which includes all believers in Him) that He is going to the Father but He will return for them and take them where He will be. 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. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. We can start with John:14:1-3 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. See All.), have no reasonable choice other than to believe in the doctrine of the Rapture. Response: Bereans, who indeed search the Scriptures diligently ( Acts:17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. White for being bedazzled by their sundry array of false prophecy. You folks can thank John Nelson Darby, Hal Lindsay, Tim LaHaye, Cyrus Scofield and other “latter day prophets.” Throw in William Miller and Ellen G. of Olives - at the next and only trip, all the saved will meet the Lord in the air. Nothing in 1 Thessalonians or in any other New Testament passages teaches that Jesus will return secretly to take believers to heaven for seven years and then return with them for another thousand years.So, where did the “rapture” doctrine come from?Įusebius, Origen, Clement, and Ignatius, et al., never mentioned.the dispensational rapture or earthly reign of Christ.Jesus will never set foot on planet earth again. Question : With the false doctrine of a “rapture” as the main focus, it’s hard to believe that Bereans would advocate nonbiblical doctrine.
