Here is yet more information, for those who miss the Rapture and are here after the event. This is for people, not any particular congregation of people. Please, think about it ...
What to do if you missed the Rapture
Nobody's going to miss "the voice of the archangel, the trumpet of God."
Must be nice to have an inside track on exactly what the Bible means. I think there is plenty of room for interpretation, as I said YMMV. I doubt any one of us has all the answers.
“What to do if you missed the Rapture”
There’s nothing they can do.
See 2 Thessalonians 2:1-17

Why the Church of Jesus Christ will not go through the Tribulation - Dr. J. Vernon McGee:

Correctly understanding prophecy usually awaits its fulfillment, as it did with souls believing on the Christ in the light of what He did. When the anti-Christ sits in the temple and declares he is God then a lot of believers will change their end-time beliefs.
Paul says ICorinthians 15:51. Behold I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed.
52. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: (there are seven trumps). for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
So long as we are in flesh bodies Our Lord and Savior has not returned.

Good post. Makes more sense than any I’ve read in this thread so far.
While i do not subscribe to the Rapture theory (seeing it as the resurrection at the end of the Great Trib.), it did spawn a lot of movies. The best i though was "Days of the Beast," hard to find, and it has much that corresponds to how things are moving today. Substitute the rapture for the res. at the end of the trib.
Maybe you were thinking of Megiddo omega code

“There will be only one return of Christ, His second coming, that is it.”
You’re right. You’re absolutely right.
Here is the Rapture:
See 1 Thessalonians 4:1-18
http://biblehub.com/drb/1_thessalonians/4.htm
And this is Christ’s Second Coming:
See Revelation 19:1-21
http://biblehub.com/drb/revelation/19.htm
These are two distinctly separate events.
No....it was a documntary movie.
Late Great Planet Earth was by Hal Lindsay.
In my study over the years common sense provided in the Word keeps my faith alive and in reality. I cannot do mystical imaginations. I want to know what to expect. Not claiming I know all, but enough to keep my feet grounded.
The following uses the Matthew 24:40 passage in an illustration on How to Interpret the Bible
Cordially,
If the rapture is not pre-trib, Christ will get me through it, but in no way am I in danger of losing my salvation over end times doctrine. Again, the mark of the beast is not something you will be able to take without knowing its import.
It’s good that you’re open-minded, but if the mark is something that is not already existent, consider what I see as the “softening up” of newer generations.
Do you have and/or plan to get any tattoos? How about other body modifications, like body piercings?
Would you like to have a way to hedge your money against hyperinflation? Does the idea of a cashless society, which is almost a reality, excite you? Would you like to have a currency that’s impossible to steal, and would thus deter robbery and muggings? And make identity theft non-existent?
How about a paperless medical system, where you can go to the doctor and never worry about forgetting to tell them about allergies or other parts of your medical history?
Or how about your child or dementia-afflicted parent ever getting lost again? No more kidnappings or deaths from exposure for these loved ones?
These are just some of the things promised (and in some cases already delivered) by advanced mobile and tracking technologies.
Imagine this carrot dangled in front of you while the stick is waiting to whack you in the head: no more easy meals or medicine (even OTC) or countless other comforts of civilization unless you adopt a particular technology.
It would be VERY hard to resist, assuming you even knew what the implications were.
It will not be hard at all for the indwelt Christian to resist. And I have no doubt that those taking the mark will fully understand the implications. I believe it will require some form of worship of the AC or one world government to take the mark. God would not allow people to take a mark damning them for all eternity without understanding the consequences. I for one have no tattoos and will not allow anything implanted in my body, and have discussed the same with my children.
The ones taken into the ark lived. The ones left out died.
Sodom and Gomorrah, the ones taken out of the city, (Lot and his daughters) lived. The ones left behind or that turned back (Lot's wife and everyone else) died.
Just saying.
What role??? How do you prepare for your head being lopped of for being a Christian???
There are 7 trumpets...They each can make as many trumps as the trumpeter determines...
Thank you so much for posting that Sermon from Doctor McGee. I have missed that voice. Used to listen to him on the radio as I drove the highways, decades ago!
“God would not allow people to take a mark damning them for all eternity without understanding the consequences.”
It is God who sends them the delusion to receive the mark:
“9Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”
2 Thessalonians 2:9-12
http://biblehub.com/kjv/2_thessalonians/2.htm
And *all* who are here during the Tribulation will receive the mark:
“16And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.”
Revelation 13:16-18
