The Rapture is very real! How else would you explain about Elijah llKings 2:11 and Enoch Gen.5:24?
Believing in the Rapture does give me great comfort but not because I think I might escape troubling times here on earth. It gives me comfort because I believe His Word, and as a Christian I will be apart of it whether dead or alive!

Enoch and Elijah don’t demonstrate anything about the “Rapture” other than that God has the power to translate people to heaven. Now, I believe that God will translate others, but in the manner specified in the Bible: the believers who are still alive at the time of the first resurrection will be translated, AFTER the dead in Christ are raised up. Since this occurs at the time of the last trumpet and the second coming, it’s clearly not the “Rapture” that many people are expecting.
