The "Rapture" refers to a future event in Christian eschatology where all living and deceased believers in Christ will be caught up (or "raptured") to meet Jesus Christ in the air. This concept is based mainly on the Apostle Paul's writings in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 and 1 Corinthians 15:50-58. It involves believers being taken from the earth before a period of tribulation and the Second Coming of Christ to earth. The term "rapture" itself is derived from the Latin word "rapturo" which translates the Greek "harpazo," meaning "caught up" or "seized".
Regarding "rapture 20," the phrase likely refers to the connection between the Rapture belief and the 20th chapter of the Book of Revelation, which speaks about the "millennium," or the 1,000-year reign of Christ following His return. Some interpretations link the Rapture event to the timeline and prophetic sequence described in Revelation 20. This chapter is significant in premillennial and dispensationalist views, where the Rapture occurs before the tribulation period and the millennium reign detailed in Revelation 20.
In summary:
- The Rapture is the catching up of believers to meet Christ in the air.
- It precedes the tribulation and the Second Coming of Christ.
- The number 20 likely refers to Revelation chapter 20, which describes the millennium reign associated with end-times theology.
If the question is about a specific "Rapture 20" prediction or event, there is no widely recognized or theological meaning beyond the scriptural and interpretative connection to Revelation 20.
