I said #29, I meant your #31.
Here you go:

#1 Never does the Bible call it the rapture. It does state it will be sudden and worldwide.

-It uses the word “rapture” in the Latin Bible. We who use the modern English language have many borrowed words from Latin. You can also use “Harpazo” in the Greek if we wish to use that word.

-Refer to Strongs Concordance 726

Original Word: ἁρπάζω
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: harpazó
Phonetic Spelling: (har-pad’-zo)
Definition: to seize, catch up, snatch away
Usage: I seize, snatch, obtain by robbery.

It describes a type of seizing of a person - a “kidnapping” almost.

#2 The others will be killed at the brightness of His coming. So the only ones left in the world will be Satan and his host of demons.

Are you saying that nobody will occupy as flesh during the 1,000 years between the bounding of Satan at The Second Coming/Sheep & Goats Judgement and the Great White Throne Judgement?

If so, explain these:

-Isaiah 35:8-10
-Isaiah 65:20
-Micah 4:2
-Micah 4:6-7

Plus the penalty for not worshipping the Lord during this time:

Zechariah 14:17

#3 Satan will be here with nobody to tempt for a thousand years. A thousand years to contemplate his judgment. In this thousand years of desolation, he will be bound (by circumstance not physical chains).

He will be bound and unable to tempt anybody for 1,000 years. But there will be plenty of flesh on Earth.
Reference the verses above, especially Isaiah 65:20.

I’m using the Bible to reference my responses.

It uses the word “rapture” in the Latin Bible.

Agreed and I corrected that immediately on the next post with the word SECRET that was omitted.
