Do You Believe in the Rapture? by: Robert Lee Hurley M any discount the idea of a rapture because the word is not in the Greek. But I will show you how the clear idea of a rapture exists in scripture. I know from my experience that many Christians do not believe there will be a ‘rapture.’ I have no doubt that is the case because many Christians struggle with ‘miracles’ and acts of the Holy Spirit.’ Billy Graham preached to millions around the world and talked about a moment when all Christians will be “caught up”—more commonly known as “raptured”—to be with Christ for eternity. “Jesus Christ is coming back, and He’s going to snatch away from out of all the graveyards of the world,” Billy Graham said. “And those that are alive and remain will be snatched away.
