Question:  Dear Greg,

            Someone I spoke with a few days ago mentioned to me that the Rapture is mentioned over 200 times in the Bible.  How many times, if any, is the Rapture mentioned?

Answer:  Dear Ron,

            I have no idea about how many times the Rapture “appears” to be mentioned.  I do know that the word does not appear in the King James Version.  However, numbers of references, or no references at all, do not prove a point—they merely stack or unstack the deck.  When “proof” of any topic drives someone to “line up passages” and them dump them--like a dump truck--upon the head of the unsuspecting, a huge red flag or light ought to go on (accompanied by a siren) warning of scrip-torture taking place.

            We have many past articles and questions listed under “Rapture” (search our site) at www.ptm.org.

            May God bless you.

            In Christ,

            Greg Albrecht
