And that, dear One is why the Rapture is not The Second Coming, just as Saul seeing the real Jesus was not a 'second coming'. The Second Coming is an event which the whole world will witness. The Rapture is an event that only those In Christ will see because those in Christ will be transformed in a moment to be like Him thus able to see Him as they rise into the clouds to MEET THE LORD IN THE AIR.

At the Rapture, believers throughout History will be called out. At the Second touchdown the Angels will go a gathering in preparation of the Jusgment. we Who believe are already judged and born from above, no longer under condemnation. THAT is the Grace of God in Christ. And this born from above group have no distinction between Jew and Gentile. In the Tribulation the distinction will once again be a burden on Jews and those who will not worship the Beast.

The Bible speaks of the last trumpet when the dead in Christ are raised to meet Him in the air; the last trumpet is the seventh trumpet which heralds the end of the Tribulation. How can the saints be caught up in the air at the last trumpet when it announces the end of the Tribulation?

I just got say wow! I don’t think I have ever seen anyone on FR twist scripture like you have in this thread. Read what you wrote in the post I am replying to with no rapture doctrine in your mind.
