Why was the mystery/secret of the rapture/snatching of the church revealed only to Paul and not the other apostles?

Voice in the Wilderness ... I have explained the difference between the Rapture and the 2nd Coming so many times in Y/A and they ignore God's Word and choose to believe what they are taught by man instead. It's a real shame.

However, the "mystery" that was once hidden but now revealed is not the rapture but the Church being made up of both Jew and Gentile. The OT saints knew nothing of the Church only God’s kingdom promised to them which will be fulfilled during the Millennium. I'm not refuting what you have said but there are more than one mystery in the Bible that Paul has revealed.

Now to answer your question. Paul was a chosen vessel … Acts 9:15-16 15 But the Lord said to him, “Go, for he is a chosen vessel of Mine to bear My name before Gentiles, kings, and the children of Israel. 16 For I will show him how many things he must suffer for My name’s sake.”

Are you forgetting what the apostle Peter said on the subject? Have a read of 2 Peter chapter 3, verse 1 to 16.

Also, in 1 Peter 1:10-13 Peter speaks of the revealing of the mystery of God - about Christ, His suffering then glory, and of Christ's 'revealing' for which the Christians had to be prepared. Again, in 1 Peter 2:12 Peter speaks of the day Christ 'visits' them and to be prepared, for they do not know which day that will be on.

So I would not agree that only Paul had that revealed to him. Don't forget that Jesus spoke of that event in Matthew 24:30-31, when Paul was not present but all the other apostles were. Jesus foretold the angels coming with a loud trumpet call, to gather Christ's elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.

Isaiah 43:11

I—I am Jehovah, and besides me there is no savior.”

Isaiah 43:13

Also, I am always the same One; And no one can snatch anything out of my hand. When I act, who can prevent it?”

Letters to the Thessalonians

(4:13) Aware of the pressure that was being brought to bear against the new congregation and very much concerned about its effect, Paul dispatched Timothy to comfort and strengthen the Thessalonians. ... For this reason Paul, besides commending the Thessalonians for their faithful endurance (1:2-10; 2:14; 3:6-10) and comforting them with the resurrection hope (4:13-18), exhorted them to continue following a course approved by God and to do so more fully.

Incorruption

Having lived, served faithfully, and died in corruptible human bodies, they now receive incorruptible spirit bodies, as Paul clearly states at 1 Corinthians 15:42-54.

Paul was an epileptic who routinely suffered from convulsive induced hallucinations. It was Paul who actually invented Christianity. The original Christers were a minor sect of Judaism and all the other apostles taught and practiced as a messianic Judaic cult. Messianic Judaic cults were a dime a dozen in Judea after the Roman conquest.

James, Thessalonians, Galatians Romans Peter Philippians then Matthew were written followed by Titus Philemon then Mark followed by Ephesians Colossians Timothy Hebrews Peter and Timothy again Acts and John.

Peter, James John and Timothy were disciples of Paul and his teachings. The original Christer Messianic apostles remained true to the original teachings and rejected Paul's additions.

Edit___ LMFAO at the ignorant dumb@$$ religitard nutters who don't know the history of their own religion.

Matthew and Mark recorded the gathering of the chosen ones before Paul's writings.

Matthew 24:31; Mark 13:27

this rapture theory is false as can be. Paul did not teach such and neither did any other writer of Scripture. It is a myth and misinterpretation of the Word of God.

Because the rapture was not a teaching from Christ nor his disciples.....The only ones taken up to heaven will be 144,000 spoken of in Revelation .... the Great Crowd also spoken of in Revelation will have the chance to live on earth forever....

When the apostle Paul said that Christians would be “caught up” to be with the Lord, what subject was being discussed?

Rev. 7:9, 10, 14, RS: “After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no man could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, ‘Salvation belongs to our God who sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb!’ . . . ‘These are they who have come out of the great tribulation.’” (To “come out” of something a person must go into it or be in it. So this great multitude must be persons who actually experience the great tribulation and come out of it as survivors.) (Regarding their being on earth, see pages 167, 168.)

1 Thess. 4:13-18, RS: “We would not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning those who are asleep [“those who sleep in death,” NE; “those who have died,” TEV, JB], that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep. For this we declare to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, shall not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the archangel’s call, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first; then we who are alive, who are left, shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and so we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.” (Evidently some members of the Christian congregation in Thessalonica had died. Paul encouraged the survivors to comfort one another with the resurrection hope. He reminded them that Jesus was resurrected after his death; so, too, at the coming of the Lord, those faithful Christians among them who had died would be raised to be with Christ.)
