Thank-you for being sensitive in regards to the word “rapture” because while there are those believers in the Lord who accept the concept, there are others who do not or who call it into question. :) God Bless. :)

You're welcome.

In controversial subjects especially, I try to stick to the literal Biblical text. Safer that way (ex. 1 Thess says "caught up to meet the Lord in the air", so that's what I say).

However, even though this subject of what's coming may be controversial, I find myself feeling that applying Scripture to comfort God's people is more important than avoiding controversy. I think I'm in good company as Paul also seemed to think it was important and the Holy Spirit also for including much on this in the canon of scripture so that God's people would be comforted and not afraid of the wrath to come.

God bless. :-)
