Yes, it is in the Bible…. this is just one verse.
1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 (NKJV)
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.
I believe Jesus is coming back for those who are His. The word rapture need not be used. It isn’t in the Bible.
Its possible but highly unlikely since the bible says when Israel becomes a nation, that same generation will see the second coming… well…. where the hell is he. Israel has been around 70 years
1 Corinthians 15:52
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
Revelation 1:7
7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
One of you Christians posted it’s going to happen within 30 years, I wish I had 31 left.
