One of the hot-button topics many Christians debate is addressed in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. In this passage, we read the description of an event that we typically call "the Rapture." The Rapture is the carrying away of believers to meet Jesus Christ in the air. The term "rapture" isn't actually in the Bible, but it comes from the Latin word "rapio" which means "to catch up" or "take away." In essence, it's the nickname Christians have given for the event described by Paul in this passage.
