Another Look at the Rapture - Hicks

Paul's Special Revelation of the Rapture
which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as
they do also the other scriptures, unto their own
destruction.
2 Peter 3:10-16
Notice that in the same context in which Peter refers to
the Second Coming of Jesus, he also refers to the things
Paul writes about (no doubt Paul's teaching about the
Rapture) as being hard to understand. Evidently, Peter
himself was having difficulty understanding the Rapture.
In another passage Jude refers to Jesus' return to earth:
And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied
of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten
thousands of his saints,
To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all
that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds
which they have ungodly committed, and of all their
hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken
against him.
Jude 14,15
Of course, this is not a reference to the Rapture, but
rather to Jesus' return in judgment upon sinners.
James 5:7-9 also talks about the coming of Jesus as a
judge, warning that, Behold, the judge standeth before the

First John 3:2,3 also refers to the coming of the Lord,
but could be a reference to the Rapture or to the Second
Coming, or to both.
But to none of these other disciples was the Rapture
