Wow! I just stumbled on this thread and it’s like a glass of cold clear water on a hot parched day! How wonderful to read about the rapture without the usual scoffing.
I came to Christ back in 1988 through a dream about the rapture. At the time I was newly married, and my husband was a believer but I was not. In my very vivid dream, I woke up to see him floating above the bed completely joyful, and then he was just gone. I have never felt such a desolate, horrified feeling as I did at that moment. He was gone and didn’t even seem to care that I wasn’t with him.
At the time I knew nothing about the rapture, but the dream left such an impression on me that the next day I mentioned it to my husband, and he explained that some Christians believe that is what will happen when Jesus returns for His people. I gave my life to Christ then and there, and I’ve never looked back. God is so good!
Thank you for this thread and the chance to ponder the rapture in a supportive environment.

You bet! It's nice to not have the usual scoffers. It's very difficult to carry on a study of the Rapture, when you've got a whole "scoffing squad" after you on the open threads... :-)
Glad to have you aboard.
And, by the way, if you know of anyone else who would like to come to this thread, be sure to let them know... and also, if you or someone else would like to get on the "Ping List" for this Rapture Caucus, just FReep-mail me and you'll be on it. It's very low volume pinging and sometimes you don't hear anything for a couple of months or more... :-) but, we're always here.
