Saint Paul states that “the dead in Christ will rise first,” and that those “who are left ... shall not precede those who have fallen asleep.” Since the dead rise first, the rapture occurs at the time of the Resurrection. And since those who are left do not precede the dead who rise, the rapture cannot occur before the tribulation, nor anytime before the Resurrection.

Saint Paul clearly indicates that he is referring to the Return of Christ: “we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord...

And so it starts. It's going to be an interesting read in this thread.

And you are absolutely sure that you are righteous enough that you will be taken up in the rapture. I have lived a pretty clean life but I am not sure. I hope, but perfect is pretty hard to achieve.

That ejection seat theology must be comforting. Funny how the apostles never had that option. Most of them (along with their families) met brutal deaths.

If He didnt spare his own, he wont spare you.
