Presentation transcript:

Its not uncommon to see a bumper sticker with the slogan... “In case of Rapture this car will be unoccupied.”

The term RAPTURE stands for the so-called coming of the millennial reign of Christ on the earth.

The word RAPTURE comes from the Latin, rapiemur, which means to “take away” or “snatch out.”

The doctrine of the RAPTURE in all its complexities is still fairly simple …

“Supposedly, at some future time, Jesus will secretly return to earth and resurrect the righteous dead (not wicked). These saints will be "raptured" to a place of peace for a period of seven years, during which time there is great tribulation upon the earth. At the end of this time Jesus will come, lead his people to victory in the battle of Armageddon, establish his kingdom, and reign for a 1,000 years on the earth before the final Judgment.”

The main proof text for this DOCTRINE, also serves as the main text upon which to refute it's errors...

1 THESS. 4:13-18 – But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. 14. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. 15. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. 16. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. 18. Therefore comfort one another with these words.

Student’s of the Bible, upon investigation, will reject the doctrine of the RAPTURE as false for a number of reasons...

The doctrine of the rapture teaches a QUIET or SECRET second coming of Christ, which the Bible knows nothing about... 1 COR. 15: THESS. 4:16 REV. 1:7

The doctrine of the rapture teaches TWO future comings of Christ; one secret and the other at the end of a seven year tribulation. But the Bible teaches that at the SAME TIME, Christ will come to glorify His saints and destroy the wicked... 1 THESS. 4:13-5:11 2 THESS. 1:8-10

The doctrine of the rapture teaches a SEVEN YEAR TRIBULATION on earth immediately following the rapture. But the Bible teaches that the earth will be destroyed when Christ comes again, leaving no place for the tribulation or the 1,000 year reign to take place... 2 PET. 3:10-13

The doctrine of the rapture teaches TWO (THREE) resurrections (derived from I Thessalonians 4:16). But the Bible teaches that the righteous will be raised on the LAST DAY, not secretly before the last day,... JN. 5:28-29 JN. 6:39-40 JN. 6:44 ACTS 24:15

The doctrine of the rapture teaches Christ’ SECOND COMING and the JUDGMENT are 1,000 YEAR’S APART. But the Bible teaches that when Christ comes He will judge the LIVING and the DEAD, and both the GOOD and EVIL... MATT. 13:47-50 MATT. 25:31-32 ACTS 17: COR. 5:10 2 TIM. 4:1

The doctrine of the rapture teaches a distinction in the CHURCH and Christ's KINGDOM. But the Bible knows of no such distinction... MATT. 16:16-18 ACTS 2:36-38, 41, 47 ACTS 8:12 COL. 1:12-14 REV. 1:9

One final question: – Why would anyone, once they had left this sin filled world to be with the Lord, WANT TO COME BACK to live here again for 1,000 years? Good friend... once you have left this earth, there will be no coming back, even if you wanted to!
