TV and radio. They wonder if it is the end of the world or if their unbelieving family members are going to have more time to change their mind.

questions in several different ways.• In fact, over the past 2000 years Christian scholars have developed three possible

Is there going to be a “rapture”?

(1Th 4:16-17) For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Is there going to be a “rapture”?

I: DOES 1 THESS. 4:16-17 SUPPORT THE RAPTURE THEORY? IF SO, THEN:

A: It is not silent! 1: Though 1 Thess. 4:17 uses the expression “caught up” (HARPAZO), it

talks about a time when the Lord shall come “with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God…” (v.16)

2: 1 Cor. 15:52: describes the second coming as “at the last trump: for

the trump shall sound…” 3: 2 Pet. 3:10: “…with a great noise”

Is there going to be a “rapture”?

I: DOES 1 THESS. 4:16-17 SUPPORT THE RAPTURE THEORY? IF SO, THEN:

B: It is not secret! 1: 2 Thess. 1:7-9: He shall come “with his mighty

angels, in flaming fire…” 2: Rev. 1:7: “He cometh with the clouds; and every

eye shall see Him…”

Is there going to be a “rapture”?

I: DOES 1 THESS. 4:16-17 SUPPORT THE RAPTURE THEORY? IF SO, THEN:

C: It will not be only for seven years! 1: 1 Thess. 4:17: “so shall we ever be with the

Lord” 2: John 6:39, 40, 44: The resurrection will occur at

the “last day.” cf. Heb. 1:1-3; 1 Cor. 15:23-26

Is there going to be a “rapture”?

I: DOES 1 THESS. 4:16-17 SUPPORT THE RAPTURE THEORY? IF SO, THEN:

D: There will not be two comings of Christ! 1: In order to get a “secret” coming, premillennialists emphasize

two Greek words: PAROUSIA, 1 Thess. 4:15 and EPIPHANIA, 1 Tim. 6:14, saying these are two different events.

2: However, 2 Thess. 2:8 uses both words to speak of the same

occasion as it describes “the brightness (EPIPHANIA) for His coming (PAROUSIA)

Is there going to be a “rapture”?

I: DOES 1 THESS. 4:16-17 SUPPORT THE RAPTURE THEORY? IF SO, THEN:E: There will not be two (nor three) Resurrections! 1: This theory demands one at the rapture, another at the end of the tribulation, and

another at the end of the 1000 year reign. 2: John 5:28-29: describes both the wicked and righteous being raised at the same time. 3: 2 Thess. 1:7-9: blessing and punishment both occur at His coming. 4: Acts 24:14-15: judgment will be of the just and the unjust. 5: Matt. 25:31-32: the sheep and the goats will then be divided. All the nations will be

gathered. This is talking about all the people, it does not matter where you live, or who you are.
