My FRiend, you posted, "So even if there were a rapture it would have to be at the last day rather than before any believer got a hurt finger." How do you know Jesus was not referring to the Last Day of the Age of Grace, the church age, the Age building the Body of Christ / The Bride of Christ?

Acts 3
20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you: 21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.
1 Cor 15
23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.
24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
When Jesus left he told the apostles that they would not see him for awhile but then would see him as he was going to send them a comforter ( the holy spirit) but they would not see him no more.
John 16
10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
1 cor 15
23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.
24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
Christ sent his holy spirit after he went to the father and it has been with us nearly two thousand years a spiritual reign.
