There is much confusion since the False Doctrine of the "Rapture" has appeared on the scene. But the Bible also tells us that there will be such things around to draw us away from the things taught from the beginning.

Jesus has already shown us and taught us via his words and those of his Apostles, when he is coming, and how he will make his most Grand Entry at his Day of the Lord.

The error has come in because of the Devil trying to cause the Church to think that God has delayed his coming, and by placing a Rapture mentality in the church he has achieved this.

It is labeled "Pre Trib" and "Mid Trib" and "Post Trib" . There will be a tribulation and a falling away. The falling away is taking place at the moment, because of the church falling for lies and even if possible the elect believing the additions to the pre arranged Doctrines and foundation God has set in place, this being......

Heb:6:2: Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

Ga:1:3: Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,
Ga:1:4: Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:

Ga:1:6: I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
Ga:1:7: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

This hub could be considered a magnifying glass looking closer at Discern the signs of the times.

TRIBULATION

Before Jesus comes the Church must go through "Tribulation" it is part and parcel of being a son of God .Believers all go through tribulation,It is the time and testing of the Saints in Christ.It is also this period where God says he will never leave us or forsake us.The mark of the Beast is the reason for this Tribulation, because we are going to refuse the mark and even killed for the rejection of it.

Lu:20:36: Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.

Joh:5:29: And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

Re:20:6: Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

The tribulation The Day of the Lord and The First Resurrection all follow a sequence and its this sequence that the Devil has tried to destroy in the mind of believers, in his effort to try and give believers doubt in the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

If you believe in the Rapture, you are piercing your self with a lie and you will think God has delayed his coming, because life as we know it is going to get worse for us believers, where things are going to try and rip us from our trust and faith in Jesus Christ.

But be of good cheer, looking forward to the day of our Lord.

God bless
