Additional Rapture Verses


          I sourced the following references in about an hour.  These are the more obvious ones.  Aside from other citations I missed, there are also many many others, not included, that are relatively less direct.


Matthew 24:31

And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.


Matthew 24:37,38; 40,41

37But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark (One of the Old Testament Rapture types, of Christians [Noah] being raptured/taken/caught up ["enterered into"]  into heaven [the ark!]) . 40Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 41Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.


Matthew 25:6,10

6And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. 10...The bridegroom came; and they that were ready WENT IN with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.

By faith Enoch was translated (literally: Transported) that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him.
