16:20Now Playing**The word “RAPTURE” really does appear in the Bible—and the claim that it doesn’t is based on a misunderstanding of how words move between languages.**
One of the most common objections to the pre-tribulation Rapture is simple: *“The word rapture isn't in the Bible.”* But is that actually true?
In this episode of **Prophecy in the Crucible**, Lee Brainard examines this claim and traces the biblical and linguistic connection between the Greek word **harpazō** and the English word **rapture**. He takes us to **1 Thessalonians 4:17**, where Paul says believers will be “caught up” to meet the Lord in the air, and explains how the Greek term relates to the Latin **rapio/raptus** and ultimately to the English word *rapture*.
More importantly, the video exposes why arguing over whether an English word appears in an English Bible can completely miss the substance of what Scripture actually teaches.
**Topics covered:**
• Does the word Rapture appear in the Bible?
• What does **harpazō** mean?
• 1 Thessalonians 4:17 and the phrase “caught up”
• The connection between Greek, Latin, and English
• **harpazō → rapio/raptus → rapture**
• The “argument from silence” against the Rapture
• Why the absence of an English word does not disprove a biblical doctrine
• The biblical case for the Rapture
📖 **Scripture:** 1 Thessalonians 4:17
If you've ever heard someone say, **“The word Rapture isn't in the Bible,”** you won't want to miss this.
