Can you point me to the verse that talks about The Rapture?
Thanks in advance.

The left behinds: It was only a book, folks. FICTION! And all the quotes from the bible don’t change that.
Iggie, God bless you, my brother, but I want to be ready just in case the rapture is seven years later than that—as it appears the apostolic church—who were taught by the apostles themselves—believed.
WHAT IS THAT BLESSED HOPE? PLEASE GIVE VERSE AND CONTENTS.
There is NO SUCH event, as a rapture. And you will find this out when they start implanting the micro-chips in your arm.
But in answer to the question, I will be giving them he*l.
I find it very confusing that people would vote for ‘hope and change’ and totally reject ‘The Blessed Hope’.
What if the Rapture has already happened? Maybe there were not so many Christians snatched up as folks might have expected. The earthly situation looks a bit like it is sliding into some serious tribulating right now.
Where are you writing from?
There are arguments for Pre, Mid, and Post all persuasive ... it’s not when He comes it’s THAT He comes ....
A Disillusioned PreacherMore than forty years ago this writer was the youthful pastor of a village church. He was an ardent Bible teacher (???), charting the seven dispensations, selling the Scofield Reference Bible, wishing he was rich enough to present copies of “Jesus Is Coming,” by W. E. Blackstone, to all of his friends and convinced that the Moody Bible Institute was the only hope, and perhaps the last hope, of apostate America. And then he was asked a question:
“What verse teaches that the church will be caught away before the tribulation?”
He quoted several referring to the second coming of Christ. Following each came the question:
“Does that say that the church will be caught away before the tribulation?”
He went to his room and searched the concordance. No help! He searched his bookshelves. Popular authors constantly asserted that Jesus is coming, before the tribulation. None of them quoted a verse which taught it. Beautiful dispensational charts, but no verse. How stupid can men be! This writer professed to teach nothing without a “thus saith the Lord;” and yet he was unaware that there was no, “thus saith the Lord,” to support this hub of prophetical doctrines, this rapture of the church before the tribulation. One question, without argument or persuasion, and against his own desires, revolutionized this writer’s life. All of his interests and affections were on the rapture side of the question. It took years to think around this problem, and in those troubled years a pamphlet discussing this issue frankly would have been priceless.
The issue is not literalism, or spiritualizing, or Jewish features of the tribulation, or clear distinctions between church and Israel, or the fulfillment of Jewish kingdom promises, or modernism, or deploring a hopeless future,
We state the issue plainly: IS JESUS COMING ACCORDING TO HIS WORD IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE TRIBULATION? OR IS HS COMING ACCORDING TO THE WORD OF SOME EMINENT PREACHERS IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THE TRIBULATION?
Literalists should be literal! Chapter and verse! Please! Plain Speaking On The Rapture Question
Leave behind a stock of 15 and 30 year old Laphroaig so I can toast not having to put up with you.
I believe in a Pre-Trib Rapture, but I find the opening paragraph of this post to be absurd.
I thought is was a joke.
I will bet everything I have against everything you have that the “Rapture” will not happen in the next five years. Hurry up, because I need retirement funds.
Archiving. Will add tract soon.
Have I been left behind?
You have a message of seemingly overwhelming importance....
.....and you excerpt it????? You use it to get blog hits?????
What if the link gets broken on the day of the Rapture?? Gee, thanks!
