Many books have been written concerning the rapture and it is a billiondollar business. Is the rapture theory Biblical? or is it a mystical HarryPotter like fairy tale? both Harry Potter books and the rapture books can betrace back to the occult.The rapture books have little to do with the Second Advent of Christ. Theyare more about politics than theology, more about man’s involvement inworld affairs than God’s involvement, more about fiction than Bible truth.Books by Tim Lahaye, John Hagee, Pat Robinson, Jack van Impe, BennieHinn, Jerry Jenkins, Thomas Ice, Ed Hinson, Hal Lindsey, Ken Copeland,Ken Hagin, Rex Humbard, Grant Jefferies, John Walvoord, Rod Parsley,Dave Hunt, Clarence Larkin, Mark Hitchcock, and most of the Armageddonand Last days events books, are used to promote an anti-reformation, anti-protestant and Anti-Christ doctrine.What is the difference between the Rapture and the Second coming?The Second coming of Christ is often confused with the Rapture… Theword rapture does not appear in the Bible but some people have often usedthe Greek word harpazo – caught up for the rapture
.
Harpazo – caught up and second coming is the same event. Let merepeat…SAME EVENT
…
1Thess.4:16 For the Lord himself shall descendfrom heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with thetrump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first, 17 Then we which arealive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, tomeet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord

The Bible is clear.. When Jesus returns… He will return the same way as Heleft.
 
Act 1: 9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, hewas taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.Vs.10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up,behold, two men stood by them in white apparel:Vs.11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up intoheaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall socome in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven
.
Jesus was taken or caught up in a cloud… The Greek word for caught up inActs 1:11 isanalambanO, - one being taken up.Is there a conspiracy to keep the truth about the blessed hope hidden? Isthe rapture Biblical? The Second Coming of Christ is mention or alluded to
 
more than 1800 times. Bible writers wrote about the Coming of Christ morethan any other subject.When Jesus returns, He will come in a cloud –Rev.1:7 Behold, he comethwith clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him:and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.Christ return will be not be secret, nor quiet, nor will only a select groupsee Him… The dead or those who fell asleep in Jesus will be resurrected,And the righteous living will be caught up with the resurrected saints tomeet the Lord in the air.1 Cor.15: 51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but weshall all be changed,52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpetshall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall bechanged.53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must puton immortality.What happens to the wicked when Christ returns?Rev.6:15 and the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men,and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and everyfree man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;vs.16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from theface of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: 2Thess. 2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shallconsume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightnessof his coming:The Bible is clear… the wicked living will see Christ Second Coming, theywill try to hide, and be destroy with the brightness of the Second Coming.What happens to the wicked dead when Christ returns?Jn.5:28 Marvel notat this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shallhear his voice, vs. 29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, untothe resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrectionof damnation.
 
There are two resurrections. One of life and the other is of damnation(death) The is a period of 1000 yrs that separate the first and secondresurrection
.
Rev.20:5-6 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand yearswere finished. This is the first resurrection.vs.6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on suchthe second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand yearsHow long will the righteous be in heaven and what will they be doing?Rev. 21:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment wasgiven unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for thewitness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshippedthe beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ athousand years.What happens at the end of the Millennium?Rev.21:
 
2 And I John saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down fromGod out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband
.
Rev.20:7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosedout of his prison,vs.8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quartersof the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. vs.9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the belovedcity: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.2 Peter 3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the sameword are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment andperdition of ungodly men.vs.8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with theLord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.vs.9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men countslackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any shouldperish, but that all should come to repentance.
