Rapture
The rapture is a concept in Christianity relating to the return of jesus to gather his saints. Based on scripture, many Christian faiths believe and teach about a future, end-times event when all true believers who are still alive before the end of the world will be taken from the earth by god into heaven. This event is termed as “the rapture.” The English word “rapture” is derived from latin verb “rapere” meaning “to carry off.”
Only Luke tells that Jesus was found teaching in the temple by his parents after being lost. The Finding in the Temple) is the only event between Jesus’ infancy and baptism mentioned in any of the canonical Gospels; however, infancy gospels were popular in antiquity. According to Luke, Jesus was “about thirty years of age” when he was baptized. In Mark, Jesus is called a carpenter. Matthew says he was a carpenter’s son; however, the Greek word used in the Gospel is “tekton” meaning “builder”, which suggests he could have been an artisan of some type as well.
