Why try to look "behind the words" when the truth is evident in the words...?
you don't seem to know the Difference between the Logos Word and the Rhema Word ----you need to research that ------Logos is jut the written Word and the Holy Spirit gives you the meaning behind the Written Word ---------which is the Rhema word ------
Also
You need to look up the words in their original language to understand what they mean in the Scripture you are reading -----
For instance ----Fear appears many --many times in Scripture as well as Flesh -----but it means different things in different scriptures -----so you need to find out what the word means in that scripture you are reading ----
Many say the word Rapture is not in Scripture and that is true but ------
the word caught up is in Scripture and if you look it up and see the meaning of it in the Greek you will see
it meas the same as Rapture ------
Rhema Word ----from google
When God gives a word of knowledge, word of wisdom or a prophetic Word on healing, it becomes the Rhema that is filled with Spirit and life.
The Rhema Word has within it, the spiritual seed that releases faith, life and power. Its fulfilment is accomplished through the operation of the Holy Spirit.
I say
Here is an example of the Rhema Word working ------
Take Peter walking on the water -------what spiritual message does that give ------all scripture has a Spiritual Message ---they are not just words on the Paper ---they have Spiritual meaning in our Lives ----
this is the scripture -----
Matthew 14:22-33 NIV
Jesus Walks on the Water
22 Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd.
23 After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone,
24 and the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.
25 Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake.
26 When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in
fear.
27 But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”
28 “Lord, if it’s you,”
Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”
29 “Come,” he said.
Then Peter got down out of the boat,
walked on the water and came toward Jesus.
30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”
I say --------So what Spiritual message do I get from this piece of Scripture ------the meaning behind the words ----
For me this is saying -----That when I am focused totally on my Faith in Jesus ----and I call upon His Grace to give me Strength to endure or complete a task or to help me in any situation that may come against me I have the ability -his strength is inparted to me to walk on top of it and not sink -------
My Grace is sufficient -----says God -----in your weakness my Grace gives strength -------might -----ability
But when I take my focus away from Jesus -----the wind -here -----who represents the enemy to me in this scripture ---I fall prey to failing -------as fear ---creeps in ----
David verse Goliath scripture
And if you read David defeating Goliath ----Goliath represents the Mountains that we see in our lives and when we stay Focused on our Faith in Jesus -and rely on Him ----we can move those mountains out of our way ------like David did -----
So------ just showing you that all scripture has a Spiritual message that a human intellect will not know or receive -------
The Rapture of the Church is in Scripture and if you do your research and rely on the direction of the Holy Spirit to give you Spiritual direction --it makes very good sense that the Rapture takes place before the Tribulation -------
