What is the Blessed Hope?

The blessed hope is your assurance of everlasting life found in John 3:16.

Titus 2:13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
Titus 1:2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;
Titus 3:7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
Attitudes and platitudes being the subject of Titus 2 the blessed hope (eternal life) is your reward for abeyance to the commandments. (Subject matter)
If you believe the glorious appearing is a reference to a rapture then give scripture. The glorious appearing is understood in two ways; the minute you die; or at the second coming.
Colossians 1:5 For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;
The blessed hope is what Jesus Christ did on the Cross for you.
not some eschatological viewpoint in a word that's not even in the Bible.
Your hope is in eternal life not a rapture. What would you rather have; a rapture or eternal life? What good is a rapture without eternal life?
To top it off, the rapture you put your hope in, is a fairy tale, dreamed up by over active imaginations or machinations of men.

This is the kind of eschatological heresy that is taught in these houses of rapture. They’re looking under rocks, behind bushes, in the closet, under the bed for a rapture. They twist and contort the Word of God to fit a preconceived narrative of a fairy tale. They act as if one second coming isn’t enough so they just added a (second) second coming.
From a hermetical standpoint the rapture doctrine can be dismantled on every point. Their interpretation of the blessed hope is just one more example of this.

Below are examples of the way in which the word HOPE is used in the NT. The word Blessed is self explanatory. Notice how the word resurrection is used in connection with the word HOPE. It’s also used in connection with eternal life in Titus 1:2 and Titus 3:7. All point to the blessed hope meaning as being; our hope is in a resurrection to eternal life after death and not in a rapture.
The blessed hope is what Christians have hoped for sense time began and it’s not a onetime event. Every time a Christian dies Christ makes a “glorious appearance” to them at the JSOC found in 2 Timothy 4:1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
Your dying in the flesh is often referred to as Jesus appearing to you. The second coming will be the same way except for the people who are alive in Christ and remain at the second coming will be changed in the moment in the twinkle of an eye. In a sense they will not die but they are changed or resurrected from flesh to spirit.
