I don't recall laying out a "Rapture Theory."

The verses that talk about "The Rapture"

typically talk about "caught up" and "in the clouds."

Those referring to the

SECOND COMING

typically mention GREAT POWER AND GLORY and other very DRAMATIC, ENTRY TO ARMAGEDDON CONQUEST sorts of images, words and phrases.

And the REPLACEMENTARIAN et al RUBBER DICTIONARIES don't seem to have words or phrases that allow those characters to have a microgram's understanding of either event.

[LiteKeeper]

My understanding is that the Rapture and the Second Coming are two different events. Do you see it that way?

I don't recall laying out a "Rapture Theory." The verses that talk about "The Rapture" ... Those referring to the SECOND COMING

And in your world, which category does 2 Thess. 2:5-8 fall into? TIF indicated it was a rapture verse back here. Do you agree?

SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by Marsha Burns — October 9, 2009:

Be at peace and take opportunities to rest in Me. For, it is time for you to be refreshed and renewed in your body, soul and spirit. Be deliberate in your decisions to come into My presence to find restoration and healing. Don’t hesitate. Come often. Set aside time to be quiet and seek My face, says the Lord. You will not regret it. Come!

Psalm 37:5-8 Commit your way to the LORD, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass. He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday. Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for Him; do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; do not fret—it only causes harm.
