A woman name Mary Mc Donald in the year 1830 ,had a dream of flying away to heaven to be with God and she told two preachers about it and that is how it got started ! the word rapture is not in The Bible !
The word "rapture" in the context of a theological or religious event is believed to have originated from the Latin word "raptura," which means "seizing" or "abduction." It has been used to refer to the belief in the sudden gathering of believers into heaven during the End Times in Christian theology.
The word - rapture - does not appear in the King James version.
In the King James version the word - rapture - does not appear at all.
There are six occurrences of the word rapture in the Bible; Psalms 28:7, Psalms 45:15, Psalms 51:8, Proverbs 5:19, Song of Songs 2:3 and Luke 1:67. Each of these is making reference to "rapture" in the context of joy and delight. The original root word for rapture meant to be carried away. Theologians have used rapture to describe the taking up of the faithful in Revelation though the word itself does not appear there.
rapture
Original answer: "No, the word Rapture is not in the Bible, but it is the word we use for catching away which is found in the bible. It is our descriptive and is valid to use."The word "rapture" is not found anywhere in the EnglishBible, but it is found in the Vulgate, the Latin translation of the Bible, where it is translated from the Greek Word that means "caught up, swept away". That's where the term is found.
caught up
A:No. The word 'rapture' is not in the Bible, nor is the modern concept of a "Rapture" of Christians mentioned or discussed. Rapture is a theological creation of John Nelson Darby, the nineteenth-century founder of the Plymouth Brethren. Interestingly, although few people belong the the Plymouth Brethren Church, many Christians believe in its founder's most enduring theological creation, the Rapture.
God came up with everything
It should be. It's usually okay to say words like hell and rapture. If you say, "go to hell", or something then it's a bad word. But if you say, "I don't want to go to hell", or "I won't die in the rapture", then it should be okay.
All those who live by the word will go. The rapture is a fancy way of saying meeting the Lord.
Another answer from our community:I search the KJV Bible for the word "Rapture" and it's nowhere to be found. So there's no explanation of the word "Rapture", except maybe it's an invention of some delusional mind.
The word rapture is not used in the bible but in revelations it mentions for all Christians to be "took up" which is is close to its real meaning "to be took up"............................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.........(and only god knows when it will happen)
