"Rapture" from "rapturo" in 1 Thess 4
The "rapture" in 1 Thessalonians 4:17 refers to believers being "caught up" (harpazo in Greek, rapiemur or rapturo in the Latin Vulgate) to meet the Lord in the air.
So then: harpazo in Greek. rapturo/rapiemur in Latin Vulgate
Rapturo: Latin term for "Caught up" Vulgate translation of 1 Thess 4:17 rapiemur (we will be caught up) or "snatched away".
Harpazo (Greek): The original Greek word used in the New Testament (1 Thess 4:17), which means "to snatch away," that was translated into the
Christ introduces this in John 14:1-3 "I go to prepare a place for you .. I will come again and receive you to myself"
Again in Matt 24 "sends forth His angels to gather His elect from one end of heaven to the other"
So today it primarily refers to a rapturing of the saints up in the air and taken to heaven.
Rapture in Historic PreMill goes back to the start
Historic premillennialism, which includes a post-tribulation rapture, is largely as old as Christianity itself, with roots in the first three centuries (A.D. 100-300). Early church fathers such as Papias, Justin Martyr, and Irenaeus taught a literal 1,000-year earthly kingdom following the return of Christ
The term refers to "caught up" in 1 Thess 4. Saints taken bodily to heaven after being resurrected or directly translated as both 1 Thess 4 and 1 Cor 15 describe.
The “Historic PreMill” form is post Trib
The main text for it is 1 Thess 4:12-18
1 Thess 4:
13 But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. 15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.
