Is The Word Rapture In The Bible?

Titus 2:12-13

training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live

self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, 13 waiting for our blessed hope, the

appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,

Scriptural

Definition of the ‘Rapture’ from Jamie Hanson….

“The

instantaneous resurrection of the overcoming O.T. & N.T. Saints who have

died & the instant ‘snatching up’ also of the living, overcoming believers

on the earth who altogether as a group meet Jesus in the air & are taken to

the Throne of God who will remain with Him FOREVER(not withstanding, coming

back with Him at 2nd Coming to Rule & Reign with Him in the

Millenium)! During this event all the dead & living are ‘caught up’ receiving

new ‘glorified bodies’ that are the same as the ‘spirit-glorified’ body of

Christ. This will all occur prior to what the Bible calls “The Great Tribulation”.

This event will also be instantaneous & visible to all who are not ‘caught

up’
