The Day of Christ's/Messiah's coming for His body the Church just before the great and dreadful Day of the Lord are at hand! All signs point to that today. We have never seen in the 6000 year history of man at present the great global flux and conscious understanding that doom awaits at the very door step.
Just after the Rapture of the church transpires (which the scoffers and haters of the Grace of God totally reject), there will be a massive void of light and truth here on earth, i.e., there will not be one true Believer left on earth at this time. There will be billions of unregenerate (unbelieving) human beings in great darkness with a godless form of Christianity. This final form of apostate Christianity is referred to as the “Mustard Tree” and “Leavened Loaf” (Matthew 13:31-33). At the very moment in which the Body of Christ is caught up to meet Christ in the air (see 1 Thess. 4:13-18; 1 Cor. 15:51-53; 1 John 3:2-3), God will send down his Two Witnesses from Heaven, His Two Mighty Candlesticks. These Two Candlesticks will burn brilliantly in this post Church/ post Age of Grace darkened world, sharing the Glorious Gospel of Jesus Messiah (Rev. 11:3-12).

Have you considered the verses in the NT that indicate the rapture happens after the tribulation at Christ’s 2nd coming?
Thanks, TIF. I’m passing this one on....
Thing will shift to Israel after the Rapture of the Church.
Anyone who wants on the Rapture Caucus, let me know. We keep it going for discussion among those who know what the Bible says about the Rapture, without the "nattering nabobs of negativity" -- naysaying against God... :-)
The Rapture Caucus thread is here...
Anyone can read it, but if you want to post on a caucus thread, then you have to be part of that caucus. In this thread, that means part of the Pre-Trib, Mid-Trip and/or Pre-Wrath group of posters.
See Post #399 for a fuller explanation for posting there.
It is mind boggling to imagine Moses and Elijah walking the Earth proclaiming the Word of God.
You can’t help but wonder how Benny Hinn and his ilk will react to all of that.

The only groups that want to say that are the ones who negate Israel's position in the coming one-world government of the Messiah of Israel on this earth.
That's the "position" of those who say that Israel is of no prophetic significance any longer, in the plan of God (any more than any other country in the world).
That's one good reason for staying as far away from that as possible... :-) ... besides the fact that it's not true... LOL ...
You can get some good information at the Rapture Caucus thread ...
Where is the church going? Christ is said to come here, and why would Christians be planning to go where Christ will not be.
I love the doll on the ground with her hand up.
totally..my friend and I don't believe that Scripture clearly teaches that.. I am Bible believing dispensational pre tribber...
Then you'll definitely want to get in on the Rapture Caucus thread... :-)
The only other Prophet to be taken alive by God is Enoch. I'm more inclined to believe that Elijah and Enoch are the two witnesses.
Whoops. Disappeared.
I was really getting into the story, and then it ended the same way it always does (in these ‘end times’ articles). All hell has just been leashed on Earth and.... ‘cut to commercial’.
Now my comment makes no sense. OK, there was a pic of people with their hands up . . . oh, never mind.
Thanks for posting the article.
“But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.”
“totally..my friend and I don’t believe that Scripture clearly teaches that.. I am Bible believing dispensational pre tribber...”
You see, I come at it from the opposite direction. I can’t find where the Scripture clearly teaches a pre tribulation rapture. There is, however, what I consider to be a pretty clear timeline in 1 & 2 Thes. that makes it pretty clear that the rapture occurs when Christ returns - and not before. I’m sure you have many good reasons to believe what you believe, but sometime you might want to check those passages out - they might surprise you. They did me. And I would have considered myself pretty staunchly pre trib.
We know the season - He told us! Also, I just finished listen to a teaching from a Messianic Jew - and we know alot more and it’s all in HIS Word!
The church, the betrothed bride of Jesus will be going up yonder to get hitched..We go up to meet Jesus...Jesus does not come to the earth at that time...We meet him in the air and then head on to the wedding...
