Pre-Tribulation Rapture

Acts 1:9-11; 1 John 3:2-3

Acts 1:9-11

9And after He said these things, He was caught up as they looked on, and a cloud took Him up out of their sight.

10While they were looking intently into the sky as He was going, two men in white clothing suddenly stood beside them,

11who said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This [same] Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will return in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven."

1 John 3:2-3

2Beloved, we are [even here and] now children of God, and it is not yet made clear what we will be [after His coming]. We know that when He comes and is revealed, we will [as His children] be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is [in all His glory].

3And everyone who has this hope [confidently placed] in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure (holy, undefiled, guiltless).
