- 4:17 Will be caught up together: literally, snatched up, carried off; cf. 2 Cor 12:2; Rev 12:5. From the Latin verb here used, rapiemur, has come the idea of “the rapture,” when believers will be transported away from the woes of the world; this construction combines this verse with Mt 24:40–41 (see note there) // Lk 17:34–35 and passages from Revelation in a scheme of millennial dispensationalism.
1 Thessalonians 4:17
New International Version
17 After that, we who are still alive and are left(A) will be caught up together with them in the clouds(B) to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord(C) forever.
