Real quick. Bible says the dead in Christ shall rise first then those who remain. And the dead are the first to leave. We will not preceed them! When? At the last trump. The seventh (last) trump (et) is fairly close to the end of the 3 and 1/2 year Great tribulation. The apostles (except one) all had their lives ended horribly. Most of the prophets met an untimely end. If you are NOT raptured before all comes to pass make sure you are not decieved by any of the miracles designed by the antichrist.
BTW, the rapture theory has only been around a little over a hundred years.
Jus’ sayin’.
Actually the “rapture theory” has been around since the Apostle Paul. He wrote about what was the future of the Church the Body of Christ.
Did you miss the point, wheat, about the Tribulation being about God’s wrath and not tribulations and persecutions from man or satan?
It is an important distinction.
Um... It's been around since Christ mentioned it.
