what does rapture means in the bible?

To be Raptured (Changed or Translated) into a Theophany at the Coming of the Lord!

2nd Corinthians 5👇

5:1 For we know that IF OUR EARTHLY HOUSE of THIS TABERNACLE were DISSOLVED, we HAVE a BUILDING of God, AN HOUSE not made with hands, ETERNAL in the HEAVENS.

5:2 For in this we GROAN, EARNESTLY DESIRING to be CLOTHED upon with our HOUSE which is FROM HEAVEN:

5:5 Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the EARNEST of the Spirit.

5:6 Therefore we are ALWAYS CONFIDENT, knowing that, WHILST we are AT HOME IN THE BODY, we are ABSENT from the Lord:

5:7 (For we WALK by FAITH, not by sight:)

5:8 We are CONFIDENT, I say, and WILLING RATHER to be ABSENT FROM THE BODY, and to be PRESENT with the Lord.

5:10 For WE MUST ALL APPEAR before the JUDGMENT SEAT of Christ; that EVERY ONE may RECEIVE the THINGS DONE IN his BODY, according to that he hath done, whether it be GOOD or BAD.

1st Thessalonians 4👇

4:15 For this we say unto you by the WORD of the Lord, that WE WHICH are ALIVE and REMAIN unto the COMING OF THE LORD shall NOT PREVENT them which are ASLEEP.

4:16 For the Lord HIMSELF SHALL DESCEND from heaven with a SHOUT, with the VOICE OF THE ARCHANGEL, and with the TRUMP OF GOD: and the DEAD in Christ SHALL RISE first:

4:17 THEN WE WHICH are ALIVE and REMAIN shall be CAUGHT UP TOGETHER with THEM in the clouds, to MEET the Lord IN the AIR: and so SHALL WE EVER BE with the Lord.

   3 ...He said, “Don't take my bones out until you go out of here.” For he believed that God would visit the people like He said. He was Abraham's seed, so he took God at His promise.

And every man, Jew, with his back beaten from the cat-o-nine-tails and the switches and the rods of Egypt, would pass by and look at that body of Joseph and say, “Someday we’re going home.” That’s right.

And today we can look at OUR Joseph, a EMPTY TOMB when we bury our loved ones and say, “SOMEDAY WE’RE GOING HOME.” And when we get there…. WE were BORN FOR THIS EARTH. WE’LL NEVER be ANGELS. God NEVER MADE US ANGELS. He MADE US MEN and WOMEN. WE’LL ALWAYS BE THAT. WE’LL have a CELESTIAL BODY THERE.

It doesn’t appear yet what kind of a body we’ll have when we’re there, but we WON’T BE ABLE to EAT and DRINK and SLEEP like I do here, but IT’LL be a BODY, BUT NOT the RESURRECTED GLORIFIED BODY. And the SOULS UNDER THE ALTAR were CRYING, “Lord, HOW LONG?”

And every time THEY WERE UNDER THE ALTAR and LOOKED UP THERE, THERE was AN ACTUAL GLORIFIED, RESURRECTED Lord Jesus SITTING THERE REPRESENTING that SOME DAY He will MOVE OFF of His THRONE THERE, COMING TO THE EARTH, and EVERYONE that’s DEAD IN in Christ WILL COME WITH Him and RECEIVE a BODY LIKE His own GLORIOUS BODY. We’ll see Him as He is. Oh, Bible ties together, one big, beautiful picture.

86 And what is it when you’re WAY OUT THERE IN REDEMPTION, with a BRAND NEW BODY? You’ve TURNED BACK to a YOUNG MAN ALTOGETHER AGAIN, or a YOUNG WOMAN —you’re NEVER going to DIE NO MORE. And you LOOK DOWN ON EARTH, and THINK, “I could ENJOY SOME GRAPES and SOME GOOD COLD WATER, but, you know, I don’t need it here.”

BUT SOMEDAY Jesus IS COMING, and THIS ANGELIC BODY, this THEOPHANY that I’m LIVING IN, will NOT COME through the WOMB of a WOMAN anymore. It’ll NOT COME through SEXUAL DESIRE anymore. BUT BECAUSE that He was BORN WITHOUT SEXUAL DESIRE, I’ll be RESURRECTED WITHOUT IT. And He will SPEAK SOMEDAY and the DEAD in Christ SHALL RISE, and THAT BODY that I ONCE LIVED IN WILL RESURRECT into a GLORIFIED BODY, and I’ll WALK, and I’ll TALK, and I’ll LIVE, and I’ll ENJOY. Hallelujah! [Unclear words] ages that is to come, through Jesus Christ our Lord. There you are, brother. That’s the GOSPEL.

112 And I HAVE TO STAND. Don’t you REMEMBER IN THE GREAT TRANSLATION that He gave me NOT LONG AGO, that I HAVE TO STAND THERE WITH THOSE PEOPLE, and I’d be RESPONSIBLE FOR THEM?

And I SEEN THOSE MILLIONS STANDING THERE. I said, “Are they all BRANHAMS?”

Said, “NO.” Said, “THEY’RE YOUR CONVERTS.”

And I said, “I WANT TO SEE Jesus.”

He said, “NOT YET. It’ll BE a TIME BEFORE He COMES YET. BUT He’ll COME TO YOU FIRST, and YOU’LL be JUDGED by the Word that you PREACHED. And they are RESTING upon that.”

I said, “WILL ALL have to be DONE THAT? WILL PAUL have to STAND?”

He said, “YES, PAUL STANDS too, WITH HIS GROUP that he PREACHED to.”

I said, “I’ve PREACHED the SAME MESSAGE he did.”

And them MILLIONS RAISED their HANDS and said, “We are RESTING ON THAT!”

There you are, see, right there. Yes!

So THEN TOGETHER WE’LL’ll GO BACK to the EARTH for a BODY that can EAT, and we DRINK; and LIVE TOGETHER through ALL CEASELESS AGES there. THAT’S THE COMING OF THE LORD.

98 The next rapture takes place is II Thessalonians for the church, the Bride, to be RESURRECTED TO BE RAPTURED INTO GLORY. “We which are ALIVE and REMAIN (THAT’S THE BODY THAT’S LEFT ON EARTH) will NOT PREVENT or HINDER them which are ASLEEP; for the TRUMPET of God shall sound FIRST, and the DEAD in Christ SHALL RISE. (See?) And we which are ALIVE and REMAIN shall be CAUGHT UP TOGETHER WITH THEM.”

God be with you all Brethren! May we all be prepared for the Coming of the Lord accordingly! Shalom!
