How do we know that the rapture will happen?

Answered in 1 source

The rapture is affirmed by scripture, particularly in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 which details the believers being caught up with Christ.

The certainty of the rapture is rooted in the promises of scripture. In 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, the apostle Paul describes how the Lord will descend from heaven and the dead in Christ will rise first, followed by believers who are alive being caught up to meet the Lord in the air. This passage gives assurance of the event and emphasizes that the resurrection of believers is a guaranteed future hope for those who are found in Christ. Furthermore, Jesus' teachings confirm the reality of His second coming and the gathering of His own, establishing a foundation for the doctrine of the rapture.
