What is the Rapture called in relation to the Body of Christ?
In relation to the Body of Christ, the Rapture is called the outcalling of the Body of Christ. It is distinct from the Second Coming. It is strictly a Pauline revelation, and no other writer even mentions such a thing. The Church is removed before the Tribulation.
Les explains that while the rest of Scripture speaks about the Second Coming, believers are concerned with the outcalling of the Body of Christ, the Rapture. This is strictly a Pauline revelation, and nobody else even mentions such a thing. Before the Second Coming happens, the Church is out of here, because it will not fit the Tribulation scenario—like a square peg in a round hole. The Tribulation is God dealing with Israel and comes out of Old Testament prophetic statements. The only time Paul even mentions it is II Thessalonians chapter 2, where he makes it plain that after we have departed, then shall appear that man of sin, and the Tribulation. Otherwise it has nothing to do with Paul’s teachings. Paul alone is the one who has been revealed the secrets concerning the Church.
