Greetings in the Name of The Lord Jesus Christ! This brief letter is written to those of you who have been left behind. May I calm your great anxiety and fears with this great message of hope! God loves you and cares greatly for you. He has a great plan, purpose and future for you and your life. He wants only and always the highest and best things for you. So please give your ear and full attention to the words that follow. The days ahead will be days that will not be easy - in fact they will be quite horrendous. But be of good cheer and of good courage. Have Faith in Almighty God and His Word.
Jesus said, For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but hath everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved (John 3:16-17).
God so loved us that He sent His Son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for your sins and mine! God has thus provided a way to restore fellowship with sinners (all humans), and to remove His righteous wrath that was upon us because of our sins and trespasses

Here are a few:
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
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. 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. (NIV)
1 Corinthians 15:51-52
Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. (NIV)
Matthew 24:30-36
“At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory. And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.
“Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door. I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
My friend,...there are plenty of them in the post. do you believe in the Rapture?
Your welcome in advance...
We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed
Saw this hanging on a nursery wall in a baptist church once. Context is everything :)
The left behinds: It was only a book, folks. FICTION! And all the quotes from the bible don’t change that.
Interesting. Now, show me the quotes that talk about THE RAPTURE you speak of.
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.
Do you have a verse and content on a 7 year tribulation period?
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.
Matt 25:31-46 also this scripture speaks of Christ 2nd return after with those who dealt wickedly with Israel
Some other Rapture verses...
John 14:3, 1 John 1 3:2, Rev 4:1, 2 Thess. 2:5-8 Even so come!
This brother has excellent teaching:

My friend, when it does happen... remember the Ignorant Fishermen told you so.... There is plenty of info on our Blog to help you out...durning that time. 2 peter 3:3
I.F.
Those moves stunk..
I have the bible and do not need your blog to ‘splain to me what it says or doesn’t say.
Please give me the scripture where this event is mentioned.
Not left behind, but the historic opinion of those who knew the apostles. He teaches that the rapture (so-called) is merely one aspect of the (one) second coming of Christ, happening right before the millennium begins.
