My Brothers & Sisters, many people get confused between "RAPTURE" and “2nd Coming of Jesus Christ”. RAPTURE is an event which supposes to happen NOW AT ANY TIME and will happen approximately 7 years before Jesus’ 2nd Coming on Earth. However in RAPTURE, He will just come up to the Skies to Take HIS Bride (The Church), to save HER from the the Wrath of God on Earth, in the period of 7 years of Tribulation of Antichrist. It looks like a Story but believe in Jesus who promised it. Below you can find Each and every Reference of Bible about this Event. Still you have the question; we are here to assist you in Yeshua Jesus Christ's name. Amen.



THE ROOT OF WORD RAPTURE



The Rapture is a term in Christian eschatology which refers to the "being caught up" discussed in 1 Thessalonians 4:17, when the "dead in Christ" and "we who are alive and remain" will be "caught up in the clouds" to meet "the Lord".[1] The Rapture is used in at least two senses in modern traditions of Christian eschatology: in pre-tribulationist views, in which a group of people will be "left behind", and as a synonym for the final resurrection generally.[2][3][4] Etymology "Rapture" is derived from Middle French rapture, via the Medieval Latin raptura ("seizure, rape, kidnapping"), which derives from the Latin raptus ("a carrying off").[11] Greek
The Koine Greek of 1 Thessalonians 4:17 uses the verb form ἁρπαγησόμεθα (harpagisometha), which means "we shall be caught up" or "taken away", with the connotation that this is a sudden event. The dictionary form of this Greek verb is harpazō (ἁρπάζω).[12] This use is also seen in such texts as Acts 8:39, 2Corinthians 12:2-4 and Revelation 12:5. Latin
The Latin Vulgate translates the Greek ἁρπαγησόμεθα as rapiemur,[13] from the verb rapio meaning "to catch up" or "take away".[14] English Bible versions
English versions of the Bible have translated rapiemur in various ways:
The Wycliffe Bible (1395), translated from the Latin Vulgate, uses "rushed".[15]
The Tyndale New Testament (1525), the Bishop's Bible (1568), the Geneva Bible (1587) and the King James Version (1611) use "caught up".[16]
The New English Bible, translated from the Greek,[17] uses "suddenly caught up" with this footnote: "Or “snatched up.” The Greek verb ἁρπάζω implies that the action is quick or forceful, so the translation supplied the adverb “suddenly” to make this implicit notion clear." AMEN source@Wikipedia

 

To believers of traditional Christianity, Jesus Christ (Greek: Christos—“anointed”) is the Messiah, Y'shua HaMASHIACH the One who is coming again. Though there are differences within Christianity’s view regarding Christ’s Second Coming, the following overall framework is generally agreed upon. His First Coming was that of a baby born in a manger. Coming as a flesh-and-blood human being, yet still divine, Y'shua had to die on the cross, taking on the role of a suffering servant and making mankind’s salvation possible. Having then risen and ascended into heaven, He, with the help of His earthly servants, is trying to save as many people as possible during the only “Day of Salvation”—the present age. This “Day of Salvation” continues until just before the prophesied Great Tribulation, which is coming to punish an evil world. It is believed that just prior to this event, Jesus’ Second Coming is eminent, and occurs in two stages.

At His initial return, Y'shua comes to “rapture away” the church (composed of all believers in Christ). He does not return completely, but only partially—to the clouds—to remove believers from the Earth, protecting them from the Tribulation, which is believed to last (7) seven years. Believers who are alive at that time (and those who are resurrected from the dead) are given glorified bodies and meet Y'shua in the air, remaining with Him until this terrible Tribulation is over (7 years).
This impending rapturing away of believers will happen secretly, and in an instant. Unbelievers will be caught unaware, left to suffer through this dreadful time of God’s wrath, which will result in worldwide devastation and millions dead. This is when the antichrist (“the beast”) will come to power, ruling the entire world. There is also the expectation of “two witnesses” (Rev. 11:3-12) coming on the scene. These could be Elijah and Moses, and will be precursors to Y'shua Mashiach's return.

 

At the Tribulation’s end, Y'shua will now fully come as King (called the Second Coming), returning with those who had been raptured, to make war with the antichrist and the false prophet. He will defeat them, bind Satan, destroy all evil, and establish the millennial (1,000-year) rule of the kingdom of God on Earth. Inhabiting the kingdom will be two kinds of saints:
1) Those with earthly bodies (Jew and gentile) who lived through the Tribulation and accepted Christ at His return (they apparently live and die, producing children to repopulate Earth); and
2) Those who were raptured, and are the only ones given glorified bodies. This is to be a time of peace and prosperity, and Jerusalem will be the centre of rule—with traditional Christianity as the world’s religion. After the 1,000 years will come the judgment of all unsaved mankind.

A Call to Action

 

There is no way to escape the conclusion that we are living on borrowed time. The signs of the times are upon us, and they are shouting for our attention.
Are you ready? If Jesus were to return today, would He be your "Blessed Hope" (Titus 2:11-14) or would He be your "Holy Terror" (Revelation 6:12-17)?
If you have never received Him as your Lord and Savior, now is the time to act. Repent of your sins, and call upon the name of the Lord that you might be saved (Acts 2:14-39).
And if you are a Christian, are you living as if Jesus might return any minute? Have you committed your life to holiness? Are you praying for the lost and witnessing the Lord when you have an opportunity?
Are you yearning for the Lord's return? Can you say with Paul that you are a candidate for a "crown of righteousness" because you have lived your life "in the love of His appearing" (2 Timothy 4:7-8)?
