“Uh, What happened?” “Where did my spouse go?” “Most of my co-workers didn’t show up for work early this morning, and are missing. Some of the other company departments are also missing groups of people. Bosses are running around trying to get ahold of folks. They need people asap or the production line is going to be shut down and the GM is really going to be pissed.” “My brother hasn’t returned my texts, he NEVER forgets to reply to my texts. I can’t get him on the phone, I’ve been leaving him phone messages all day. He has muscular dystrophy and can’t leave his apartment.” “I’m hearing other people also say that all kinds of people are missing.” “The six o’clock news had a headline story about the strange disappearance of a lot of people.”
“No one knows anything, the government isn’t saying anything yet . . . there is supposed to be a formal announcement from the White House tomorrow morning. Some are joking that the North Koreans launched an EMP blast and wasted a bunch of our folks. Others are semi-seriously saying that the Commies launched a super-virus in the U.S. that is slowly disintegrating people who come into contact with it. It must be some kind of airborne infectious disease that eats flesh. The talking-heads on talk shows and the conspiracy theorist nut-jobs are saying it was the first alien invasion, of many to come, and that the martians are systematically and strategically taking certain people out from around the world.

The stock market crashed Big-Time, and dropped close to 10,000 points. The computers had to halt trading or the market would have free-fallen to the bottom. The world stock markets and currency exchanges are going ballistic. No one know’s what the hell is going on. I have lost over 50% of my 401(K), and if the losses stick, I will have to work ten more years or longer before I can retire.”
“Some of the really, really old folks interviewed on TV are mumbling something about ‘Armygidgeon’ or something like that . . . . I have no idea what that is or what that means. Maybe it has something to do with the heat we have been having. It’s been near 100 degrees now, for almost two weeks. Must be something to do with global warming. My A.C. bill is going to be astronomical. The volcanoes in Hawaii are blowing up and spewing stuff everywhere. Maybe that is causing all the heat? Stuff is happening in the earth around Yellowstone national park and in places throughout California.”

“Uh, I’m scared, really scared. What happened to all these people? I can’t get ahold of my daughter and my best friend. The stuff being reported on the news channels is really freaking me out. My folks are in their mid-70’s and were supposed to come over for dinner, they NEVER miss dinner. They are supposed to watch the kids while we go to a basketball game. I can’t get ahold of them, it’s like they just disappeared. Maybe they forgot and went to their social club instead. I’m sure they are OK. I’ll try calling them again in the morning.”
. . . . Do any of these comments sound like you?
Everyone is scrambling to try to figure out what happened. All sorts of ideas and theories are being thrown around by the media. Except the one that is the truth, and the one that no one wants to seriously consider or to believe could actually happen. Virtually everyone in the Western world (who is not a Christian) believes this possibility to be a hoax at best, a fairytale, myth, impossible in this day and age, a lie created by the church to give people a false sense of hope, on and on and on. . .
The Rapture or Harpazo (Greek) of the Christian Church on earth.
People who might have heard of this or have a partial understanding of it, will puzzle over this possibility with a sense of confusion and dread. Some people will realize they are stuck on earth and some of their loved ones have ‘disappeared.’ Other people with a greater understanding of what the great disappearance implies will suddenly be terrified because they have an idea of what is going to come shortly (Tribulation and Great Tribulation as stated in the Bible’s book of Revelation).
You ask, “What is the Rapture or Harpazo of the Christian Church? I can’t find the term in any Bible, is this something made up? Can you tell me, briefly, the Who, What, Why, When, Where and How of this thing called a Rapture”?
The Rapture / Harpazo (great disappearance) of the true Christian Church (people):
What: The Rapture (Harpazo in Greek) is a term used to describe a supernatural event with several outcomes, promised by Christ, that will happen at unique moment in space and time to a specific group of people, prior to a horrific period of time on earth known as The Tribulation and Great Tribulation period.
Who: Jesus Christ made this promise to ALL true Christians throughout history – past, present and future. These people are the true believers in Christ through their salvation of forgiveness of sins by Jesus Christ, from the shedding of his blood and resurrection. In a nutshell, all people who truly believe in the gospel of Jesus Christ and have asked for forgiveness of their sins are considered saved or redeemed. These people, regardless of nationality, creed, language, tribe, race are all part of what Christ considers to be his Church (the Bride of Christ). These people believe in Christ, what he did for them, and he is who he says he is. These people include those who are already dead (in Christ) and those who are still alive (in Christ). Yes, you read that correctly.
Where: The supernatural disappearance occurs throughout the entire world simultaneously. Yes, you read that correctly. It happens so fast (“in the twinkling of an eye”). In streets, businesses, shopping malls, fields, highways, homes, buses, movie theaters . . . anywhere people are. This happening or occurrence is not limited to any particular place or location. It happens throughout the entire earth, regardless of where people might actually be. Because it happens so fast, no one will see it. Someone could be standing in front of you and talking to you, and all of a sudden they are just gone. Yes, I agree with you. That is hard to believe.
When: The Bible (word of God) indicates that this supernatural occurrence or disappearance will occur sometime prior to the Tribulation or Great Tribulation period (written about in the Bible’s book of Revelation – the last book in the Bible). “No one knows the day nor the hour”. A specific time or date is not known. HOWEVER, the Bible provides many verses that talk about the ‘season’ of the Rapture. There will be events taking place on earth in nature, between nations, between men, rampant lawlessness, wars, and threats of wars, extreme trouble in the Middle East and in Israel/ Jerusalem, and so on. This Rapture takes place when all these chaotic and troublesome things start converging . . . happening all at one. Yes, these things have happened in the past. But what makes these all point to the Rapture of his Church is the intensity, frequency, devastation, size and scope of these things. . . and happening all at once.
Why: At its foundation, the Rapture is a promise made by Christ that his Church will be spared the horrific tribulation that will shortly arrive on the earth. The promise is that simple. Those people who believe(d) in Christ and what he did for them, in antiquity, in the present and in the future before the Tribulation starts, are rescued from or spared from having to go through “the great testing and trial by fire of men on earth.” The coming Tribulation and Great Tribulation is that horrific and devastating upon the earth, that God (through his Son, Jesus Christ) spares those who believe in and belong to Jesus Christ.
How: This is a supernatural event that happens extremely quickly. Some have suggested it occurs in one 100th of a second. Christ does not literally set foot on the Earth, however, he is in the clouds and calls his people up. No one knows the physics or process of how this can happen. How this happens, does not matter. What does matter is that Christ’s people (dead and alive) are called up.
Q: Where is all this stuff in the Bible, I want to read it for myself and not take your word for it. I have been lied to in the past!
A: Good question and fair enough. I don’t blame you for wanting to figure this out for yourself!

“But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? And with what body do they come.” (1 Cor. 15:35).
“So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption; It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.” (1 Cor. 42-44).
“In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. And wither I go ye know, and the way ye know.” (John 14:2-4).
“Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.” (Isaiah 26:20).
“And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.” (1 John 2:28).
“For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.” (Phil. 3:20-21)
“Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.” (1 John 3:2).
“And as we have borne the image of the earthly, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.” (1 Cor. 49-54).
“But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 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. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.” (1 Thess. 4:13-18).
“And he shall send his angels with a great sound of trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.” (Matt. 24:31).
“Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.” (Matt. 24:40-42).
“And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.” (Rev. 12: 1-5).
“Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true saying of God.” (Rev. 19:7-9).
“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on earth.” (Rev. 5:9-10).
“Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ.” (Titus 2:13).
“For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.” (2 Tim. 4:6-8).
“And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.” (Thess. 1:10).
“For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1 Thess. 5:9).
“The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgement to be punished:” (Peter 2:9).
“Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.” (Rev. 3:10).
But how can they call on him (Jesus Christ) to save them unless they believe in him (Jesus Christ)? And how can they believe in him (Jesus Christ) if they have never heard about him (Jesus Christ)? And how can they hear about him (Jesus Christ) unless someone tells them?” —Romans 10:14
