The God of the Universe has announced to mankind that He has a specific plan and He has revealed that plan in advance. Get Ready...

[Lera]

(1 Thessalonians 4:13) But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

(1 Thessalonians 4:14) For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

(1 Thessalonians 4:15) For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

(1 Thessalonians 4:16) For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

(1 Thessalonians 4:17) Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

(1 Thessalonians 4:18) Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

(Titus 2:13) Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;

(Titus 2:14) Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

(Titus 2:15) These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.

It’s in the Book. That’s the way it will be.

[SaveFerris]

I was gonna say, prepare for incoming.......

[egfowler3]

From the parable of the fig tree [Matt 24:32-41]

Matt 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

BTW Where in the Holy Scriptures is the "Rapture" mentioned???

[Lera]

[[I was gonna say, prepare for incoming.......]]

They can’t steal my blessed hope :)

What a day that will be,
When my Jesus I shall see,
And I look upon His face,
The One who saved me by His grace;
When He takes me by the hand,
And leads me through the Promised Land,
What a day, glorious day that will be.

Watch the video and your question will be answered in the first few minutes

It isn’t mentioned in the Bible, and all the verses you posted pertain to the Second Coming. Not before, not halfway through tribulation, at the end.

[Lera]

(Isaiah 26:20) Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.

(Isaiah 26:21) For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.

[FreedomStar3028]

All referring to the Second Coming.

Jesus doesn’t come back leave and come back again.

The problem is that the heresy has been inculcated in its victims for generations and it is comfortable... No need to do anything much because the culture and the world are supposed to be getting worse and worse. Nothing you can do about it. Nope, just sit in your church and sing praise choruses (7/11 music: 7 words, 11 notes), listen to a vapid sermon, eat potluck dinners, and wait to be “raptured”.

[longhorn too]

Hey pot luck dinners, not bad!lol

[plain talk]

The rapture is only significant to those on Earth when Jesus returns. No one knows when that will happen. It may be long after we’re gone. Or not. One should always be ready.

Go to Scotty Clarke’s YouTube channel and look at his new analysis of the Revelation 12:1-2,5 sign in the heavens.

Thank you very much Lera.

Fantastic update

[Lera]

Thanks

Fits with what the church is - one new man

(Ephesians 2:13) But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

(Ephesians 2:14) For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;

(Ephesians 2:15) Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;

(Ephesians 2:16) And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

(Ephesians 2:17) And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.

(Ephesians 2:18) For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.

(Ephesians 2:19) Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

(Ephesians 2:20) And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;

(Ephesians 2:21) In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:

(Ephesians 2:22) In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

You are mixing up Israel and the church .
The church is not Israel and Israel is not the church.
The bride is the faithful body of Messiah - one new man made up of both Jews and gentiles caught up in the air.

The ones being rescued in the tribulation are Jews in Israel who have come to faith.
The tribulation believers are being beheaded.
The tribulation is for the salvation of the Jewish nation .
That is why it is called the time of Jacob’s trouble .
Wrath is being poured out on the unbelieving world that is trying to destroy the Jewish nation.
He physically comes back to save Israel as the armies are gathering in Armageddon after the Jews say “Baruch Haba beShem Adonai (blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord) “

[Sontagged]

When the Son of Man returns to the earth, will He still find faith?

He will have to shorten the time for the sake of the elect.

We believe in the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Not some magic assumption of the masses of the devout. God works through the natural law and the hearts and minds of men. The best miracles are small.
