‘The rapture’. To informed Christians, that phrase triggers a very tight focus on what Paul predicts about The Lord’s saints from only this current, 3rd age of human history, being physically transformed from mortal-to-immortal, then ‘caught up’ onto a cloud ride to Heaven just prior to the start of the tribulation age, and the apocalypse at the end of that 4th age of our history. While that perception is accurate, it actually misses so much more that is jam-packed into that expression. The Bible reveals many rapture-type events over the course of human history, including His own! How do you think He returned to Heaven after creation?! And consider Enoch, the first human who was raptured into Heaven. There are many more individual such events that occurred and are planned. But why do we focus on only ONE ‘group rapture event’?
This series unveils 6 group rapture-type events across the pages and ages of The Bible, The Lord’s Multi-millennial Strategic Plan for Humanity. It also summarizes past and predicted raptures of individuals. So let’s take some time to widen the apertures of our perception on this important topic.
