  6. Pre-Millenial Theory Of The Rapture The Word “Rapture” In Latin the word for “caught up” is rapturo, from which comes the term “Rapture.” —Bible Knowledge Commentary Greek Word:ἁρπάζω Transliteration:harpazō English Words used in KJV: catch up 4; take by force 3; catch away 2; pluck 2; catch 1; pull 1; [Total Count: 13] From a derivative of <G138> (haireomai); to seize (in various applications) :- catch (away, up), pluck, pull, take (by force). —Strong's Talking Greek & Hebrew Dictionary W. 65th St church of Christ / October 21, 2007

  7. Pre-Millenial Theory Of The Rapture The Word “Rapture” Original Word: ἁρπάζω, harpazō Usage Notes: "to snatch or catch away," is said of the act of the Spirit of the Lord in regard to Philip in Acts 8:39; of Paul in being "caught" up to paradise, 2 Cor. 12:2, 4; of the Rapture of the saints at the return of the Lord, 1 Thess. 4:17; of the rapture of the man child in the vision of Rev. 12:5. This verb conveys the idea of force suddenly exercised, as in Matt. 11:12, "take (it) by force;" Matt. 12:29, "spoil" (some mss. have diarpazō here); in Matt. 13:19, RV, "snatcheth;" for forceful seizure, see also John 6:15; John 10:12, 28, 29; Acts 23:10; in Jude 1:23, RV, "snatching.“ - —Vine's Expository Dictionary W. 65th St church of Christ / October 21, 2007

  8. Pre-Millenial Theory Of The Rapture Examining Proposed Proof Texts 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 (NKJV) 13 But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.
