What Happens To Our Bodies?

Posted in: Ask a Bible Teacher

Q. what happens at the rapture ? here is my question.  When we are raptured, what happens to this body?  In the movies and just in general the thought is we will just disappear?   Will the body be left where they are at the time of the rapture, or will the body disappear?  Thank you soooo much !

A. Most scholars, myself included,  believe that at the rapture living believers will simply disappear, bodies and all.  We base this belief on 1 Cor. 15:51-52 which says the dead will be raised and we (the living) will be changed.  According to Paul we won’t die in the process but will be instantaneously transformed.  Since death only affects the physical body, and since we won’t die, it’s reasonable to assume we won’t leave our bodies behind.
