The Snatching Away

The "snatching away" is a literal translation of the Greek word harpazo, also known as the Rapture, which refers to believers being caught up to meet Jesus in the air. The Rapture is a real future event and the next prophetic event on God's end-time calendar, occurring at an unknown time. While many other events must happen before the Second Coming, nothing else needs to occur for the Rapture to take place.
