When Paul describes the rapture in 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17, he’s pointing to the exact same event Jesus foretold in Matthew 24:30–31 — His glorious return and the gathering of His people. This truth shatters the idea that the Olivet Discourse was only “for the Jews” while Paul’s teaching was “for the Church.” Jesus was speaking to His disciples, and Paul confirmed the very same hope: the Blessed Hope of being gathered to Christ when He appears in glory. In this video, we’ll walk through both passages, compare the details, and show how Scripture gives one unified picture of the rapture — the day when Christ returns for His people. 📖 Scriptures Covered: Matthew 24:30–31 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17 Titus 2:13 🙌 Be encouraged: the rapture is not two different events, but one glorious promise to all believers.
