      What The New Testament Doesn’t Say

      Before getting started, let’s review a few notes that are common to my writings…

      *This booklet mostly uses British spelling, except for the quoted material, which often employs U.S. spelling.

      *The terms LORD, GOD, and Hashem are all ways to describe the personal name of God, also rendered as Yahweh or Jehovah.

      *The ALT3 distinguishes between singular and plural second-person pronouns by means of an asterisk (*).

      *Divine pronouns are normally not capitalized, unless they appear that way in Bible versions or other quotes.

      *Words that appear in brackets within quotes are not found in the original texts, and were added by the translators or are my personal comments, etc.

      I. In Memory

      Tim LaHaye passed away on July 25, 2016, at the age of 90. He was one of the most influential teachers of Bible prophecy in modern times. Above everything else he’ll likely be remembered for championing the doctrine of the Rapture.

      A couple of decades ago Bible prophecy was a very important part of the evangelical Christian landscape. That’s not really the case anymore. The resurgence of reformed theology—with its historic ties to amillennialism—has meant that apocalyptic eschatology is now often branded as either an embarrassment or a waste of time.

      The Christian leaders of yesterday who fervently believed in the Rapture are getting older and perishing, and their numbers aren’t being replaced proportionately. It is up to those of us who care about Bible prophecy to try and carry the torch as best we can.

      I’m going to simply start with the book of Genesis and end with the book of Revelation in searching for Biblical proof for the Rapture. Doubtless there will be selections that some would question and spurn. If you reject my assertions, do not worry—modern Christianity certainly is on your side.

      Anyway, let’s begin with the list, and may God bless you through his Son, Jesus Christ. Thank you for your time.

      II. Old Testament Passages

      Some Christians who do enjoy eschatology still reject the idea that the Rapture is featured in the Old Testament. I’m not really sure why this notion has been constantly purported. Normally people who hold this view say that since Paul called the Rapture a mystery that this somehow precludes the idea that it was spoken of in ancient times.

      Let me just say two quick things about this belief. First, the Bible was written by God. Even if no one in ancient times knew about a future event of a mass-vanishing, God could still have guided the pen of a poet or prophet to mention it.

      Second of all, building on what I just said, Paul didn’t mean that a mystery was something completely without Biblical support before the advent of the New Covenant. In Romans, Paul uses the word mystery to refer to the hardening of Israel
