Rapture is a theological term not translated from the Biblical text. It is just like the words, Trinity or the Second Coming of Christ. However, harpazō or “caught up” is found in 1Thessalonians 4:17. Whether the Rapture occurs before or during the Tribulation, or even a combination of the above, Christians must be Ready to Go, But Prepared to Stay. Like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, we need to have the heart attitude: “If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up” (Daniel 3:17-18 KJV). Either way, “Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh” (Matthew 25:13 KJV).
Tribulation Week
Why the Sudden Interest in UAPs?
Why the sudden interest in UAPs (Unidentified Anamolous Phenomena) or UFOs? Probably because they are becoming so common and hard to ignore. The US Congress held hearings July 26, 2023 with testimony from former Air Force intelligence officer David Grusch claiming the Vatican knew of the existence of non-human intelligence 90 years ago from a UFO recovered by Benito Mussolini, and later acquired by the US government. Prophecy informs us of a massive invasion of UAPs converging upon the Earth during the Tribulation Week preceding Christ’s return. We are not at the Fifth Trumpet Judgment, but we’re getting closer. “And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men” (Revelation 9:7 KJV).
