726 harpázō – properly, seize by force; snatch up, suddenly and decisively – like someone seizing bounty (spoil, a prize); to take by an open display of force (
i.e. not covertly or secretly).
THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT TAKE PLACE AT HARPAZO AKA RAPTURE
Matthew 11:12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it
by force.
Matthew 12:29 Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and
spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.

John 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man
pluck them out of my hand.
John 10:29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to

4 How that he was

NOTICE HOW VERY CLEARLY THE WORDS OF GOD ANSWER THE QUESTION OF 'WHERE' IN THE ABOVE VERSE
1 Thessalonians 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.
NOTICE HOW VERY CLEARLY THE WORDS OF GOD ANSWER THE QUESTION OF WHERE IN THE ABOVE VERSE.
NOTICE THIS VERSE IT DOES NOT SAY 'INTO PARADISE'.
THAT IS WHAT IS WRITTEN.
ANYONE CLAIMING 'IT IS INTO PARADISE' IS 1000% ADDING TO THE WORDS OF GOD.
what is written CLEARLY SHOWS THAT JESUS IS RETURNING FOR THE DAY OF VENGEANCE AND
ALL 'UNSEEN' comings COME at death of the flesh,
because WE are NEVER to SEE DEATH and that is why this word is not used
Jude 1:23 And others save with fear,
pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
Revelation 12:5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was
caught up unto God, and to his throne.
NOTICE
ONLY ONE VERSE 'INTO PARADISE' ,
ONLY ONE VERSE UNTO GOD, AND
ONE VERSE INTO OUR ATMOSPHERE.
To ascribe 'being taken to EITHER 'paradise or unto God' , FROM VERSE 4:17 IS A LIE
AS GODS WORDS ARE SPECIFIC AND TELL US IT IS INTO THE AIR.
Obviously when God MEANS 'paradise', He SAYS paradise, when God MEANS 'unto God' He SAYS unto God. When God means 'in the air' He says 'in the air'.
WHEN MAN DOESN'T LIKE IT, THEY FIND A WAY TO TWIST IT, AND RESORT TO HATH GOD SAID?

33 And
He shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of His kingdom there shall be no end.

and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
1Timothy 6:11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

a good profession before many witnesses.
13 I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession

keep this commandment without spot, unrebukable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:
15
Which in His times He shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.
