In relation to judgment? In relation to glory? (This is NOT the place to debate various theories of the rapture and the millennium.) The word is resurrection and that will take place at the return of theLord for His chosen ones who have kept the faith and chose to follow Him. It will happen before judgement for then we will stand before God to be judged for the works done in the body. It will come before the glory that God has in store for His elect in Christ.

PATJOE Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 Q1. What is the word used in the Bible instead of "rapture"? When will the resurrection take place in relation to Christ's return? In relation to judgment? In relation to glory? (This is NOT the place to debate various theories of the rapture and the millennium.) The word resurrection is used in the Bible instead of rapture. Immediately upon Christ's return, He will be seen in the clouds and the dead will be raised first. Then all still living will be caught up with them together and will meet the Lord in the air. At that time the judgement of all will take place - At the sound of the trumpet, all will be raised imperishable and will be changed n the twinkling of an eye. The righteous will be taken to live forever in glory with the Lord and the unrighteous will live forever in condemnation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ann K Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 The word is Resurrection. Christ's return will be on the Last Day. We know not the time. All will be raised living and dead but those who will believe will be given eternal life. The Great Gathering will separate believers from non-belivers ~~ but God's love will abound on all.

Joshua Ofosu Anim Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Q1. What is the word used in the Bible instead of "rapture"? When will the resurrection take place in relation to Christ's return? In relation to judgment? In relation to glory? (This is NOT the place to debate various theories of the rapture and the millennium.) The word used in the Bible instead of 'rapture' is 'resurrection'. I believe the two mean the same. It is the time when God changes our corruptible bodies into incorruptible and eternal bodies so we could with Christ for ever. The resurrection takes place after the trumpet sound (1Cor. 15:51-52). In relation to judgement, the dead will be raised to be judged by Christ whom God has appointed to judge the world. Finally, the elect of God shall be raised to live in Glory for ever.

Craig Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Resurrection is used in the Scripture vice rapture. After Jesus appears in the heavens, the angel's trumpet call will summon all God's people. Then Christians will be gathered, both dead and alive with Him (Matt. 13:24-30; 37-43; 47-50; 25:31-46; 2 Thess. 2:1. Then the Great White Throne Judgment will take for the unbelievers (Rev 20:11-13). The saved will enter into glory and the unsaved will go to hell and the lake of fire along with satan and the fallen angels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

June Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Caught up or raised. We who are still alive and left will be caught up with the dead in Christ. The dead in Christ first, then us whom remain will meet the Lord in the air. Those who died in Christ before us will be judged first, then us. The righteous to eternal life---- the unrighteous to eternal condemnation. We will enter into Christ's glory after resurrection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda bass Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 The word the bible uses instead of "rapture" is "carry off". The rapture and the resurrection are just two different terms for the same event. Just before the rapture takes place, an angel's trumpet will sound, summoning all believers.Then the dead in Christ will be resurrected first, follow by those who are still living.Those who are alive at Christ's return will receive their glorifyed new bodies. Believers will appear before God in judgment at what is known as the "Bema Seat." This is not a judgment for sins since our sins were forgiven when we accepted Jesus as our Savior. Rather, it will be a judgment of our Christian service. The dead who did not accept Christ while alive will be resurrected at the end of millinium. Because they all died in their sins, they will be declared "guilty" and sentenced to the lake of fire for all eternity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhm Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Q1. What is the word used in the Bible instead of "rapture"? When will the resurrection take place in relation to Christ's return? In relation to judgment? In relation to glory? (This is NOT the place to debate various theories of the rapture and the millennium.) The words used in place of 'rapture' are caught up, raised and resurection. The resurrection will take place right after the angel's trumpet sounds the coming of Christ. I am inclined to believe that the believers will be judged for their service on earth right after the rapture but some form of judgement would appear to occur at the time believers reach the presence of God right after their physical death in order to be assigned some form of service in Heaven. The judgement of the believers will occur before the judgement of the unbelievers. The rapture will instantly place us in glory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masika Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 The word used instead of rapture is gathering of God's people .This will happened during the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

PCHRIS Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 As shown, the word 'rapture', is not biblical. The words used are raised, caught up, gather and gave up. This will happen when the Lord Himself descends down with a shout, voice of the archangel, sound of a trumpet the dead will rise up first and those who still live will be caught up with them. Everyone will be judged, the saved enter glory the unsaved enter condemnation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissioned Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Q1. What is the word used in the Bible instead of "rapture"? The word that is used in the Bible instead of "rapture" is found in 1 Thessalonians 4:17 . The words are "caught up." "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." 1 Thessalonians 4:17 (KJV) When will the resurrection take place in relation to Christ's return? In relation with Christ return when the angels sounds the trumpet, the resurrection of the dead in Christ shall take place. In relation to judgment? The sea, death and hell shall give up their dead so that they will be judged by Him who sits on the White Throne. 11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. Revelation 20:11-13 (KJV) In relation to glory? The resurrection of the righteous will take place and then they will live with Christ in glory. "For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together (harpazō4) with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever." 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 (KJV) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dar Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Q1. What is the word used in the Bible instead of "rapture"? 1Th 4:17 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. The English word rapture comes from the Latin verb meaning "caught up". When will the resurrection take place in relation to Christ's return? The Thessalonians thought that only those who were alive at the time of the coming of Christ would witness and share in the glory of it. All God's people who have died will be raised first and so go before the living to the gathering in the sky. In relation to judgment? The great white throne is not for the believer, not for those raised incorruptible, it is for the dead. We are no longer dead but alive in the Lord. In relation to glory? The believer will be at the marriage supper of the Lord. We will be judged according our works, our obedience to God, therefore, we will be rewarded accordingly. The best reward I could receive is to be forever with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (This is NOT the place to debate various theories of the rapture and the millennium.)
