When the Rapture of the Church finally takes place - in which Almighty God the Son calls out His body (saints and ambassadors) - it (The Rapture) will be a wondrous sign unto the apostate western world more so than a sign unto the whole world. For all had better be prepared, for Almighty God's "Day of Wrath" is now at hand (2 Thess. 2:3-12)!
All these are the beginning of sorrows (birth pangs) Matt. 24:8.
The official commencement of this horrific seven year period will be the breaking of the 1st seal (i.e., the "Confirming of the Covenant" - Dan. 9:27) by Almighty Gods Lamb (i.e., The Lord Jesus Christ) in Heaven (Rev. 6:1). It is at this precise moment that the man of lawlessness (i.e., the anti-Christ) will be revealed unto the entire world (Dan. 9:27, 2 Thess. 2: 3-12). This revealing of the Anti-Christ and the commencement of this seven year tribulation period will begin when this man (i.e., the Prince which is to come) adds his human position of great power and authority to a covenant against Israel with an abundance of peoples and nations (Ezek. 38:8,11-12, Dan. 9: 27). Israel at this time of the confirming of this covenant will receive the supernatural protection of Almighty Gods Two Witnesses (Moses and Elijah) who will also begin their ministry at this time for 1260 days and possess Almighty God's Divine authority.

Weve been listening to the Left Behind Series on Audio.
the "Mark of the Beast" when it was really the "Mask of the Beast" ...
It would mock the Second coming of Christ.
Don't bother me with "but His feet don't touch the ground, so it doesn't count".
Wow... all this time I read the
book of Revelation and it wasn’t till now that I found out it was called RevelationS....
Wow... we learn something new every day... : )
‘There is no “Rapture”.’

Please reconcile your view with 1 Thess 4, esp v 17:
13 Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. 14 For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. 15 According to the Lords word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.
Actually I think it it The Revelation of Jesus Christ.
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:
Yep, that IS the Second coming of Christ, NOT a Rapture.
Yep, that IS the Second coming of Christ, NOT a Rapture.
Great blog. Please add me if you have a ping list.

I agree. It is the second coming of Christ and NOT anything else (secret rapture or whatever)
You didn’t reconcile your view with 1 Th 4:17 as you were asked.
Excellent observation. Thank you.
Those who are alive at the Second Coming will not precede those who died before it, but ...
16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God
The Second Coming will happen amidst mighty signs at the end of the age.
and the dead in Christ will rise first.
And the "resurrection of the body" promised in the creeds and in Scripture will happen as the faithful dead will rise from their graves.
After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds
And then, "after that," those who are still alive at the Second Coming will be "caught up" to join the resurrected dead "in the clouds".
to meet the Lord in the air.
And both groups will live happily with Jesus forever and ever, Amen.
The whole passage is talking about the Second Coming, and about what happens to those who are alive at that time, not about any "rapture" preceding it.
Thanks and I don’t.. sorry...
I never got that far doing that...
Email my FR email and I’ll send any thing we post to you. Thanks!
Maranatha!
Keep your eye to the sky, your powder dry, and your Prayer tank full...!
Yes I deed it is! ALMIGHTY GOD ends His written Word with the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS PERSON in His FULL GLORY AS ALMIGHTY GOD THE SON, the RISEN LAMB!
It’s all about Jesus, from Gen 1 to Rev. 22! Amen! Amen!!
Maranatha!
