What if the RAPTURE is 1, 2 or 3weeks away, What will you do?

1Corithians 15:51-52
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: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

1Thessalonians 4:16-17
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:
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.

Brethren, I am not Here to set date or time! But I need you to understand, know and Consider that JESUS IS COMING!

I need you to know and Understand that the Trumpet will Blast at any Moment. It's gonna be Suddenly, with no information or Announcement.

I need you to understand that your life is not in your Hands and it could be Gone at anytime.

Repent! Believe the Gospel! Accept JESUS Christ!
Flee From All appearances of Sin,worldliness, Wickedness and Abominations.

Live Ready! Let no one Deceive or confuse you!
The Coming of JESUS is Here.

So where is the word “rapture” located in either 1Corinthians 15:51-52, 1Thessalonians 4:16-17 or any other part of the Bible?

Of course we don't know the exact date of Christ' second coming, but we are given scripture to help us recognize "events" or "signs of the times" clearer.
A series of events has to occur on this earth...the time of tribulation (which even God's people will have to go through) will have to occur before Christ comes to redeem us. Prayer and study of the Word can more fully help one who may be confused about this.

Probation (meaning death) could close anyday for anyone since we don't know exactly when we will die.

It's best we live each day having our salvation sure....telling others about the Lord and knowing who we belong to and living obediently to Him.

Eviana:

Not sure if you are a Christian or not, but I am in the tiny minority here about that word you bolded.
It doesn't exist in the bible.
Hollywood got in the bible and interpreted it the way it wanted to.
There will be no secret rapture....as shockingly as that may seem to the majority of the Christian world.
Many well-meaning Christians just don't understand this event...
Actually, this is one of the scriptures (that you posted above) that is difficult for people to understand and describes what will occur after the great tribulation.
1 Thessalonians 4:17 (KJV)
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.
The words "caught up" are presumed to mean "rapture".

DappaD:


So what you're saying is that one day people will stay and start disappearing with their fleshly body to heaven?

IfIPerishIPeris:


Have you ever seen the Word Bible in the Bible?
If you can't see the Rapture in the verses mentioned then you are on your own

Eviana:


Not at all.
The scriptures explain the 2nd Coming in Revelation....the book of prophecy regarding the end times of earth's history.

DappaD:



Weak analogy.
The word “Bible” simply means “book”. In this context, we can refer to the “book” that contains the “Scriptures”. The word “Scripture” which means “writing” occurs a significant number of times in the Bible. Acts 8:32, 2Timothy 3:16

IfIPerishIPeris:


I hear u sir! Keep searching for analogy!
If you don't believe it or you don't see it, when it happens, it will be Practical.
Arguing Bible is what I do not do.

IfIPerishIPeris:

Good for you Ma!
Keep waiting for The Tribulations!
If the Price JESUS paid on the cross is not ok for you to be Saved,then it is unfortunate! So maybe the one you will pay by yourself in the Tribulation will be ok .
Let it be to you according as you say!

People of GOD, let no one Deceive you!
The Rapture is here!

DappaD:


I do not understand you one bit. The earth is never to be destroyed says Psalm 104:5 & Ecclesiastes 1:4.

Eviana:


I meant no disrespect nor do I intend to argue.
You are my Christian brother....however sometimes "we" as Christians don't always understand scripture passages.
No one in his/her right mind, wants to go through any sort of tribulations/trials or even death. No one likes uncomfortable situations...
Yet never did Jesus promise us a smooth, trouble-free life. We get to experience it all as soldiers on this earthly journey.
The Bible (not myself) states in Revelation that the saints will have to go through something just as the Christians in the Dark Ages, the disciples and apostles did, and modern Christians living in non-friendly Christian countries..
Yes, Christ died for me...and I owe Him everything...which is a life surrendered and obedient to Him.
I can't change what the Bible says....

IfIPerishIPeris:

My Sister, I Believe you do not understand the Bible.
I Read the Word! I Believe the Word! I Yrust the Word!

Ordinarily, JESUS says my Coming will be Luke in the days of Noah and Lot! Flexing, partying, Marriage and giving in marriage and so on.

That Scripture alone should make you know that what you say is wrong! Is during the Tribulation that people will be marrying and giving in Marriage?

Do you Understand what the GT is? Do you Understand the times of Jacob's Trouble?
I doubt you do.

Like I said before, as you say, so be it unto you! But I Admonish you to get Prepared to Meet JESUS not getting Prepared for GT..

Eviana:

Ok...so you are or aren't a Christian?
I also didn't understand fully what you typed.
The book of Revelation states that the earth as we know it, will be destroyed and made anew.
If you accept/say "yes", and give me a few days, I can suggest a biblical presentation which will help you understand the Book of Revelation....
You won't then be confused with scripture verses as the one you stated above.
If you'd like it, please let me know.
I, as well, don't argue over scripture....

DappaD:
I'm one of Jehovah's Witnesses and you see that book of Revelations we have thoroughly dissected and understood it decades ago. There's no place in the book of Revelation that suggests that the earth will be destroyed. Revelation 16-19 says it's going to be the human governments and every individual who doesn't know Jehovah God and obey the good news of his Son, Jesus Christ. 2Thessalonians 1:7-9/Psalm 37:10

Because you saw a “new earth” in Revelation 21:1 doesn't mean this present earth will be destroyed or else it would negate Psalm 78:69, 104:5 & Ecclesiastes 1:4.
Since the book of Revelations was given to John in signs & symbols, then it ought to carry a hidden, deeper meaning. Revelation 1:1
After all, according to Peter's logic, the former “earth” of Noah's day was destroyed, yet the earth remained. 2Peter 3:5-7
Therefore the word “earth” can mean peoples/society of humans. Genesis 11:1, Psalm 66:4, 96:1
So according to 1John 2:17, it is the wicked society or “earth” of humans that are to be destroyed not the literal earth. Psalm 119:90

IfIPerishIPeris:

Good for you Ma!
Keep waiting for The Tribulations!

The Earth will be destroyed by fiery fire... However a new heaven and a new Earth will be created ..
How is that the Bible will say something plain, and people keep refuting and saying something else?? Na wa o

obonujoker:


Explain this then...

Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

DappaD:


Revelation 1:1 proves that Revelation 21:1 is written in signs.
“Heaven” simply represents the ruling government because Ephesians 6:12 says that Satan and his demons are ruling from heavenly places that is, through the visible human governments of this world.

“Earth” here signifies the human society/peoples of the world i.e. the common man who doesn't wield power. The Bible has often referred to human settlements as “earth”. Genesis 11:1

“Sea” according to Isaiah 57:20 represents the “wicked” humans who are alienated from God.



So the “new heavens” represents a ruling class made up of Jesus Christ alongside with his “bride” numbering into a 144,000 who are all standing on the heavenly Mount Zion(Revelation 7:1-8, 14:1-5, 20:4-6) and exercising rulership over the earth. Revelation 5:10

The “new earth” represents the new, refined human society who recognize God's authority which according to Revelation 7:9-14 will be an immeasurable number.

The “sea” will be no more, in that the wicked ones who have been troubling the peace of the earth will be completely destroyed which will in effect fulfill Psalm 37:10 see also Isaiah 57:20.

I do sir and I respectfully ask you what is the spirit and idea of what you call rapture?
