The concept of a mid-tribulation rapture is not explicitly mentioned in The Bible. However, some believers point to passages like Matthew 24:15-31 and 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 as potential support for this idea. These verses describe events that some interpret as occurring during the middle of the tribulation period. It is important to note that interpretations of these passages vary among scholars and theologians.

What is the lds interpretation to the rapture?
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) does not mention the rapture because it is not a Biblical concept. There are no Bible verses to support the rapture. In fact, the concept of the rapture was first intruduced by the Puritan preacher Cotton Mather in the early 1700's. This is why Catholics, Orthodox, Anglicans, and other traditionally "European" Christian groups have no doctrine of the rapture either. A popular phrase in the Church is "Endure to the End", which references to Matthew 10:22, Matthew 24:13, and Mark 13:13. It reminds members to continue in faith, looking forward to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

Key pretribulation rapture verses in the Bible include 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 and 1 Corinthians 15:51-52. These verses suggest that believers will be caught up to meet Jesus in the air before a time of tribulation on Earth. Supporters of the pretribulation rapture belief interpret these verses as evidence that believers will be taken away before a period of intense suffering and judgment.
Do Catholics believe in rapture?
A:The 'Rapture' is a theological invention of John Nelson Darby, the nineteenth-century founder of the Plymouth Brethren. Barbara R. Rossing (The Rapture Exposed) says that Darby's new teaching was that Christ would return twice, first in secret to "Rapture" his church out of the world and up to heaven, then a second time after seven years of global tribulation for non-believers, to establish a Jerusalem-based kingdom on earth. The Catholic Church says that this is heresy, but there are undoubtedly some Catholics who would believe it. Either way, the Rapture has no genuine biblical support, so there is no good reason to believe there will ever be a Rapture.A:No, i don't believe they do. I base this on many comments from catholics that i have received when debating them. However, we do see the rapture in the Bible: Matthew 24:30-36.

Who originated the word rapture in regards to the end of the world?
A:The 'Rapture' is a theological invention of John Nelson Darby, the nineteenth-century founder of the Plymouth Brethren. Although few people belong the the Plymouth Brethren Church, many Christians believe in its founder's most enduring theological creation, the Rapture..Barbara R. Rossing (The Rapture Exposed) says that according to one critic, the Rapture has its origins with a young girl's vision. In 1830, in Port Glasgow, Scotland, fifteen-year-old Margaret MacDonald attended a healing service. There, she was said to have seen a vision of a two-stage return of Jesus Christ. The story of her vision was adopted and amplified by Darby..The belief that Jesus will come again was not new, and Christians have always taught that Jesus will return to earth and that believers should live in anticipation of his second coming. Darby's new teaching was that Christ would return twice, first in secret to "Rapture" his church out of the world and up to heaven, then a second time after seven years of global tribulation for non-believers, to establish a Jerusalem-based kingdom on earth..It is one thing to originate a new concept like the Rapture, it is an entirely different thing to demonstrate that it will ever happen. The Rapture has no genuine biblical support, so there is no good reason to believe there will ever be a Rapture at the end of the world. John Nelson Darby has sunk into obscurity, apart from his followers in the Plymouth Brethren, and so should his Rapture.
Do Lutherans believe in tribulation?
A:The Rapture and the Tribulation are theological inventions of John Nelson Darby, the nineteenth-century founder of the Plymouth Brethren. Barbara R. Rossing (The Rapture Exposed) says that Darby's new teaching was that Christ would return twice, first in secret to "Rapture" his church out of the world and up to heaven, then a second time after seven years of global tribulation for non-believers, to establish a Jerusalem-based kingdom on earth. More recent proponents of the Rapture and the Tribulation saw what they felt were flaws in Darby's scheme, and some altered it to have the Rapture occur mid-tribulation, while others have opted for a post-tribulation Rapture.The Lutheran Church says that this is false theology, whether pre-tribulation, mid-tribulation or post-tribulation. Perhaps there are some Lutherans who would believe it, but either way, the Rapture has no genuine biblical support, so there is no good reason to believe there will ever be a Rapture.
Why is the background that the book of Daniel provides about the rapture so important?
A:When John Nelson Darby invented his theology of the Rapture back in 1830, he faced the problem that he was espousing a concept that had no genuine support in the Bible. The belief that Jesus will come again does have biblical support, for example in Mark chapter 13. Darby's new teaching was that Christ would return twice, first in secret to "Rapture" his church out of the world and up to heaven, then a second time after seven years of global tribulation for non-believers, to establish a Jerusalem-based kingdom on earth. Darby had to comb through the Bible, looking for passage that could plausibly, with the right interpretation, be used to support his scheme. He found this in the apocalyptic Books of Daniel and Revelation.Daniel 9:25-27 gives a chronology of seventy 'weeks' of Israel's history -with a day representing a year in this apocalyptic book. Darby reinterpreted this passage and decided that the first sixty nine weeks have already passed and that the final event would be the desecration of the Temple after the Rapture. This of course requires a Third Temple to be rebuilt, but dispensationalists have worked out a scenario for all this. Suddenly we have biblical support for Darby's scheme, at least if we are willing to suspend disbelief.
When is the rapture going to happen?
The rapture will happen on the Jewish holiday, Rosh Hashanah. The holiday first consists of someone "keeping watch" for the new moon, "for they did not know the day or hour" to start the holiday. When the Jewish people celebrate the holiday, they perform a reenactment of a Jewish wedding, which is exactly what "The Marriage Supper of The Lamb" is in the book of Revelations. After a Jewish couple "shuts their door" to their abode "and hide themselves for a little while" to consummate their marriage, the door stays shut for seven days. God said he would give us a year for a day, which is exactly how long the great tribulation is supposed to last, seven years.
