When do you think the "RAPTURE" will occur???
the second coming of jesus
When the gospel is preached to everyone as a witness to all the nations, and then the rapture will come. Matthew 24:14
Jesus told us that no one knows the day and the hour for His return except the Father. God is also patient, merciful and long suffering...not wanting any to perish. I don't believe there is anything that needs to take place, that hasn't already occured, before His return. We are told to redeem the time while we wait. The harvest is ready...the workers are few. Souls need to be saved! Now is the time of salvation. Look up...your salvation draws near. He's coming soon!
Sorry but The word "Rapture" is not biblical! 1 Corinthians 15:52 mentions....At the LAST TRUMP:....First read St. Matthews 24:29-31...*Immediately after the tribulation* of those days...then 30....then 31....At what trumpet?... The Seventh or Last Trumpet =Second Coming of Jesus! Of course no man know the day or hour!
If you are referring to a secret rapture then it will never happen, because that teaching is false. However, the Bible does tell us when God's people will be raised up; and that will be when Jesus returns:
"For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord." (1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 NKJV)
Note: Precious100, it is a shame that someone gave you a negative mark for clearly spelling out what the Bible teaches on this subject. Yet it is to be expected; and I won't be surprised if I get some too.
"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables." (2 Timothy 4:3-4 NKJV)
When I first heard the word Rapture, I thought it meant something to do with diarrhea. Then I learn I wasn't far from the meaning.

Paul talked about the return of Christ in his letters to the Thessalonians and many scholars hold the view that Paul believed Christ's return was imminent or at least in his lifetime.However the vast majority of the Church believes His return is yet to come and therefore we have a problem. Either...

As Christians: Those of us that are Christian, We are all aware of the first coming of Jesus as a baby. There is nothing to dispute about this. We are also aware of His crucifixion and resurrection.

Is there going to be a Rapture?No, there's not. The "Rapture" refers to a passage in First Thessalonians, chapter 4, which talks about Christians being "caught up" in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Many Christians believe, and the "Left Behind" books promote,...
