And yet Christ said a sign of His coming would be Matthew 24:6, wars and rumors of wars, but not to be troubled, this was NOT the end. Puts a big hole in the rapture doctrine balloon. If one does not know who the antiChrist literally is they are already deceived.

No, it only shows that Jesus taught without making sharp differentiations. To those not taken out of the way in the Rapture, there are specific signs to those left to endure the horrors of the Tribulation.

Please study the Temple Discourse Jesus gave the day He gave the Olivet Discourse on the same day in the late evening. When you catch the clear differences in to whom and on what timing He spoke in these two different Discourses, it becomes clearer that the Rapture must come BEFORE the end times horrors.

Scholars have concluded that a large number escaped the final destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD because of the warning signs Jesus explained/revealed In the Temple Discourse.

The Temple Discourse was heeded by believers (the First Christians) and they escaped during the pause in Vespasian's campaign to sack Jerusalem. The Olivet Discourse as revealed in Matthew and Mark is given as answer to 'the end', which comes during the seven years after the Believers, the Body of Christ, The Bride of Christ is taken out of the way.

HINT: to start differentiating the two Discourses, notice the ‘before these things’ and ‘after these things’ designations Jesus made in the separate Discourses.

Not at all...First of the 'signs' of his coming are for the 2nd Coming...And we certainly have wars and rumors of wars right now...That just shows it's close...

For the Rapture, it could come at any time...It doesn't require any signs...
