    1 Thessalonians 4:15 -17 And then this: We can tell you with complete confidence—we have the Master's word on it—that when the Master comes again to get us, those of us who are still alive will not get a jump on the dead and leave them behind. In actual fact, they'll be ahead of us. The Master himself will give the command. Archangel thunder! God's trumpet blast! He'll come down from heaven and the dead in Christ will rise—they'll go first. Then the rest of us who are still alive at the time will be caught up with them into the clouds to meet the Master. The Message Bible

    The Greek word for "caught up" is harpazo - to seize, to snatch, like a raptor or bird of prey does.

    Latin translators used the word rapturo.

    If you don't believe me, look it up in a good concordance.

    I believe in the rapture. Just not in the men/women setting the day or the hour for it to happen.

    Peace,

    I believe in it, too, Tammy.

    O Happy Day

    Yes, no one should try to set the date or the time.

    That is the height of presumptuousness.

    Peace and love.

    Matthew 24:31 At that same moment, he'll dispatch his angels with a trumpet-blast summons, pulling in God's chosen from the four winds, from pole to pole. The Message Bible

    Mark 13:27 He'll dispatch the angels; they will pull in the chosen from the four winds, from pole to pole. The Message Bible

    Truly, truly.

    I believe you. The bible saying it, and you reiterating the point isn't enough to make me accept it as reality.
