That would explain why you can’t find the foreshadowing prophecy in the law

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I thought I already answered that one for you? It was in the animal sacrifices, portraying Israel's legal condemnation. This required a new glorified body, sinless and free of all condemnation.

Alright so when you use the term "rapture" you're using it in the popular Dispensationalist sense of Christians being taken up into heaven.
Well, then, for one, none of the passages you offer here talk about Christians being taken up into heaven.
In 1 Thessalonians 4, Paul never mentions Christians being taken up into heaven. He says that when Christ returns the dead are raised and we who are alive are also transformed and brought up to meet the returning Lord Jesus in the air.
In Luke 17 it's talking about Judgment, the one taken is taken in Judgment, not in a "rapture".
And in Hebrews 9 it's talking about Christ's return, where the dead are raised, that's the salvation--the resurrection of the dead, for the Lord returns to Judge, the dead are raised, and God makes all things new.
The doctrine of "the rapture" as an event where Christians are taken out of the world and into heaven is never mentioned in the Bible. And it is completely unknown in the Christian Church throughout history--its is a theological invention of the 19th century believed by a very tiny minority of Christians who have adopted the peculiar ideas of John Darby and the Plymouth Brethren. It became popular among American Evangelicals over the course of the 20th century through Dispensationalist schools and eventually popular books by a handful of influential Dispensationalist teachers.
What Christian believe is that the Lord Jesus will return in glory to judge, and when He does, the dead are raised (and the living Faithful will, with them, be transformed). Not to get beamed up into heaven to escape a period of tribulation; but rather when the Lord Jesus comes down here.

AND I NEVER use the word RAPTURE because there is not a Greek word called RAPTURE !!
And 1 Thess 4:17 says that all of those in the BODY of CHRIST , those that are LIVING ONES , the surviving ones will be
caught AWAY at the same time with them in CLOUDS for a MEETING of Lord into the AIR , and so we will at all times be
with the Lord .
Israel will always be on earth !!
