The rapture is simply a “snatching away” of those who are righteous in the eyes of the Father. When does it occur is a different matter. Who partakes in it is another. Some believe it falls in a pre/mid/post- tribulation time slot. Others have different thoughts on the subject. When the word rapture occurs many view it as an un biblical doctrine. The English word rapture encapsulates all the characteristics of Paul’s snatching away statement. This snatching away, this rapture, has always been a part of the church when Paul’s letter had been read and accepted. Now views of what it means vary through history. And the debate goes on… the debate goes on…
