Have you tested? - "Rapture" is not what you think it is....

We are told our English word ‘rapture’ comes from the latin word ‘rapio’ or other variations like ‘raptus’, ‘rapturo’, ‘rapere’ or ‘rapiemur’ all to which is translated from the greek word harpazoShow more

This comment isn’t about denying “harpazo” is in scripture because clearly it is there e.g. ‘caught up’ 1 Th 4:17 g726. ἁρπάζω harpazō, har-pad´-zo; from a der. of 138; to seize (in various applications):—catch (away, up), pluck, pull, take (by force)

This comment is about testing what we have been told, simply looking at what the latin word means in a dictionary trying to confirm what we have been told is true.

rapio - Wiktionary - Etymology - From Proto-Italic *rapiō[1], perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *h₁rp-i-, from Proto-Indo-European *h₁rep- (“to snatch”) (compare Albanian rrjep, Ancient Greek ἐρέπτομαι (eréptomai), Lithuanian ap-répti).
rapiō - I snatch, grab, carry off, abduct, rape 

ἐρέπτομαι - Wiktionary - Etymology -From Proto-Indo-European *h₁rep-. Possible cognates include Latin rapiō, Lithuanian aprépti, and Albanian rjep.
Verb -ἐρέπτομαι • (eréptomai)
1.to feed on, eat, bite off
2.to pluck to eat (e.g. of the lotus plant in The Odyssey)

Is Jesus coming back to feed on or eat us? I don’t think this is how you envisioned the rapture.

I believe we should stop using the word "rapture" instead use "harpazo" or "caught up"" as translated from the actual Greek word
We should stop parroting information we have heard but instead test the information is true before we apply or use it.

The Lord told me back in 2018 the rapture is not what you think it is and i'm shocked to discover after doing a word study in 2022 that the Lord's words were so true. It makes me sick thinking about what the latin word really means and how many people are ignorantly using that term.
