None of my dreams/visions or conversation disagrees with the Word of God - however your interpetations of the Word may disagree. God has been giving dreams and visions to people throughout scripture. As already stated - I hope there is a pretrib rapture - there is no convincing scripture to that effect. No word "rapture" in scripture. It is an idea that took root in the 1800's, with a Pastor who kept changing the date of Christ's second coming and made lots of $$$ being wrong. I will say again - I hope you are right in your interpetation. Christ comes only once for the second coming - not once for the rapture and once for for His millenial kingdom. And if all who are raptured with Christ, don't go with Him to the Millenial Kingdom, where do you expect they go for a 1,000 years? We can only enter heaven as part of the body of Christ
I am all for a pretrib rapture and saying you know better doesn't confirm for me that it is part of God's plan. To say maybe it isn't - is NOT a misleader or meant to frighten anyone. To say so implies that salvation is dependant on belief in pretrib.
The word, "rapture" doesn't have to be in scripture to be the truth that is taught. It is HARPAZO---it is Greek, and it means "to catch up or take by force". In most English translations of 1 Thessalonians 4:17 it’s rendered "caught up". The root from which it comes is haireo which means "to take for oneself." 1 Thessalonians 4:17 is the only place the word harpazo refers to the rapture of the Church.
"Rapture" is the English word that comes from the Latin translation of "harpazo" which is why you can’t find it in your bible. You would have to read 1 Thessalonians 4:17 in Latin to see it there---and it appears there as "rapiemur". Many people don’t realize that for the thousand years preceding the Reformation, the Latin Vulgate was the primary translation of the original Greek texts. It was the standard text longer than any other translation before or since.
It is a perfect word that describes how Jesus will catch His saints away---to Himself, His rightful possession!
