There is going to be a pre-trib rapture. The way things are going now, with all the churches falling into apostasy, no one who is left behind will notice and most people will rejoice that all those fundamentalist Christians are gone.

Nope, yons a non-Biblical belief made up in the 19th century

Actually, no, Cronos.

The harpadzo, the sudden catching-up, the snatching-away, the rapiemur (from the Latin of the Vulgate), the Rapture, is a concept of how regenerated believers are to meet the Lord in the air, a prophecy accepted by the early churches, but buried for many centuries by the unbelieving Roman dogmatizers, until the idea of an Antichrist in a 7-year Tribulation was dug out by Catholic priests in the 1500s, the Rapture by Puritans in America in the 1600s, later on popularized--not invented--by John Darby and the "Plymouth" brethren in the 1800s, and magnified by the Schofield Reference Bible first published in the early 1900s.

Your miscommunication marks you as a commenter that cannot be relied on, Cronos.
