Just for argument’s sake, read 1 Thessalonians, chapter 4. The phrase “shall be caught up” is from the Greek, harpagésómetha, translated to Latin as rapere, where we get the word Rapture.

Thanks for the information. As you know, many words from other languages make it to the English language. The context of 1 Thessalonians is inconsistent with the argument made by Miller in the 1800s and Rev. Jeremiah.

I won’t argue there, that is just where the concept and term originate. The way some folks read the Bible, it reminds me of those poetry games where you take a bunch of words, mix them up and pull them out of a bag.

Well, given this here’s my plan, I’m going to stop making house payments and spend the money elsewhere, if we go to heaven great, if not, McCain will force our banks to renegotiate our mortgages at 1/3 the cost, so it’s a win/win /sarcasm (I should have bought a bigger house)
