Romans 9:31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
English “hath” “attained” emboldened in Romans 9:31 was translated from Greek verb 5348 phthano which means to come before was translated into English “is come” in Matthew 12:28 “But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you” and Luke 11:20 “But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you” and into “shall” “prevent” in 1Thessalonians 4:15 “For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep” which is the same event noted in 1Corinthians 15:51-52 “Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed” “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed”. English shall and prevent were mistranslated from Greek verb 5348 phthano which means to come before. Some of the world’s 4,351 religions erroneously teach that 1Thessalonians 4:13-18 is the rapture to escape the apocalypse which is demonstrably false. The word rapture does not appear in the King James Bible. Not in Hebrew. Not in Greek. Not in English. The etymology of English apocalypse is from Greek feminine noun 602 apokalypsis which was translated into “The revelation” in Revelation 1:1 “The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John”. Greek feminine noun 602 apokalypsis is the noun form of Greek verb 601 apokalypto meaning to uncover, in the sense of removing the flesh thoughts and feelings that cover the intrinsic truth of God’s spiritual thoughts and ways.
