Why does it matter when He comes or how many times? I want to be ready and go with Him the very first time He comes for me...that said...I do believe in the rapture. Sometimes ones heart leads the way, through scripture. If the Holy Spirit can put it in your heart to believe it doesn’t matter if you can’t explain it to another to their satisfaction. Our focus should be on having a personal relationship with Him and loving Him with all our heart,soul and mind.

Put it this way, I certainly would not mind at all if there is a rapture before things get terribly ugly. If there is one, I would of course rather be raptured than have to go through part or all of the tribulation period.

However, I think as part of the ‘being ready’ mindset, preparing to have to go through it, as much as you believe you need to, is part of ‘being ready’ for that possibility.

Because I see evidence that both scenarios could be possible. Pray for the best case, prepare for the worst. Trust God whatever happens.

If you take a “who cares” attitude towards the Word of God, then I guess it doesn't matter.
