The doctrine of the rapture is one of many doctrines created by dispensational denominational theologians in evangelical Christianity to explain the second coming or the return of the Messiah. The rapture doctrine can be traced back to the origin of its use in church history leaving many Believers with questions about how the Biblical event was taught and understood prior to that time in church history by followers of the Messiah. The foundational theory of the dispensationalist rapture doctrine is found in this portion of Paul’s letter to the Thessalonians. What is the rapture doctrine? Did Paul teach a rapture theology?

Did Paul teach the doctrine of the rapture in the Bible? The popular rapture doctrine is rooted in dispensational theology developed in recent church history, not in Paul’s original teachings. Paul did address Messiah’s return in his letters, but his message aligns more with the resurrection and gathering of Believers than a secret rapture event. Arthur Bailey examines these verses in context to reveal what Paul actually taught.
