I don't believe the pre-trib or mid-trib 'rapture' is going to happen. I believe that is a false doctrine.

Re: Get ready for the Rapture....NOW
The whole basis of the rapture is to be saved, but that is a carnal fleshly desire.

Hebrews 9:7 And it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.

It matters NOT when you die, once you are dead if you belong to Christ, He will find your spirit as it belongs to him.


 Quoting: Osmium76

Exactly. The pre-trib rapture cultist think they don't have to suffer death, they don't have to suffer torture from the anti-christ and also think they can avoid judgement day. Like they can judge themselves as "good enough" to go to heaven. Wouldn't it nice if we could all judge ourselves? Heaven sure would be crowded.

Re: Get ready for the Rapture....NOW
It kind of horrifies me that Baptists push the pre trib 'rapture'. They are so on point about so many things yet they have welcomed an outrageous and unspeakably harmful false doctrine into their churches. It seems more like a doctrine you might find in a Pentecostal church.

Re: Get ready for the Rapture....NOW
kitty Do not listen to the liars who go on about a mid tribulation, or late tribulation rapture. The fact is that they don't know when it will be. Why take the risk?

THE RAPTURE COULD BE TODAY - Get right with the Lord while you are still blessed with a little time.


:bridea: Luk 21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

Basically I think that there is only one correct answer to as to when it will happen and that is... today. Please Note that there are two classes of the blessed. Class I Those who are asleep in Christ. Class II Those who are alive in Christ.

Now someone who is in Class I was obviously at some time in the past a member of Class II. Non of us can guarantee that we will still be drawing breath at this time tomorrow. So this is not a matter that you can comfortably "put off". As is the common human tendency when faced with a decision. In fact putting it off is a decision in and of it's self. You might be blessed with a little more time, but don't count on it. The risks and consequences of dying in your sins are just to great. All of us are skating on thin ice.



1Th 4:13 ¶ But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope
.

1Th 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

1Th 4:15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive [and] remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

1Th 4:16 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:

1Th 4:17 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.

1Th 4:18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words

Re: Get ready for the Rapture....NOW
It just so happens the Rapturists are the ones shouting Christ is here or there. Examples of this are given in Matthew 24:26. Scripture warns Saints NOT to believe them!

 Quoting: Osmium76


cowgal Why are you adding confusion? "It just so happens the Rapturists are the ones shouting Christ is here or there" I have said no such thing, nor have I noticed others making these claims.
 Quoting: Judethz


Great thread!

Osmium76 doesn't understand the context of Mt. 24:26. That is why he is connecting it with his so-called Rapturists. I described the context in another thread:

But as the 42 month period is about to end, the AC will put an end to sacrifice and offering in the Jerusalem temple, and put the temple to a diabolic use. And then, the authority of the AC expires and all hell is let loose against the AC and Israel. The kings of the North (Russia), South (Islamic confederacy) and East (China) will storm Israel in the greatest warfare ever.

Mt. 24:15 “So when you see standing in the holy place `the abomination that causes desolation’, [Daniel 9:27; 11:31; 12:11] spoken of through the prophet Daniel — let the reader understand —
Mt. 24:16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
Mt. 24:17 Let no-one on the roof of his house go down to take anything out of the house.
Mt. 24:18 Let no-one in the field go back to get his cloak.
Mt. 24:19 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers!
Mt. 24:20 Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath.
Mt. 24:21 For then there will be great distress, unequalled from the beginning of the world until now — and never to be equalled again.
Mt. 24:22 If those days had not been cut short, no-one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened.


It is around this time that Jesus will go to the Ancient of Days to receive authority, glory and sovereign power. His own authority over the world will not last for 42 months, like that of the AC, but forever.

Mt. 24:23 At that time if anyone says to you, `Look, here is the Christ!’ or, `There he is!’ do not believe it.
Mt. 24:24 For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect — if that were possible.
Mt. 24:25 See, I have told you ahead of time.
Mt. 24:26 “So if anyone tells you, `There he is, out in the desert,’ do not go out; or, `Here he is, in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it.
Mt. 24:27 For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
Mt. 24:28 Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.
Mt. 24:29 “Immediately after the distress of those days “`the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’ [Isaiah 13:10; 34:4]
Mt. 24:30 “At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory.

 Quoting: Agent of Light


Mt. 24:26 occurs during a time of great confusion in Israel. The time of the Antichrist has just been ended by the Battle of Armageddon. Everywhere is in disarray and the people of God know that the next thing should be the arrival of the messiah. Diehard supporters of the AC are still around and would like to kill as many Jewish believers in Christ as possible. So, they publish the ruse that Christ has arrived in the desert. Any Jewish believer who is ignorant of Jesus' warning concerning these false prophets and who goes into the place in the desert mentioned by the false prophets gets killed. Note that all these happen in Israel.

Re: Get ready for the Rapture....NOW
You Rapture Tards still haven't figured it out yet. You are all going to be so disappointed when you have to go thru the tribulation that a lot of you will loose your faith.

Go look up the history behind the Rapture teachings. They didn't start till the 50's and you can thank one guy for pushing it.

ALL of us are going to go thru Tribulation together. Its the ultimate test of all our faith in God. How we behave and what we do when things get bad is what we are going to be judged on.

The wheat will be separated from the chalf.

I know there is no way some of you are going to figure this out or want to figure this out. The last thing you want to be told is that you have to suffer through the Tribultion but I am sorry but that's what is going to happen.

if you don't accept this now spiritually then you are going to have a ruff time with all of this.

Take it to pray to the lord and ask him yourself to show you whats coming.

All people are going to be very different when things go to hell so to speak. God does not plan on giving anybody a free ride. You must earn it first.

I think a lot of people when faced with whats about to happen are going to blow it bad. That's why God is making us all go thru Tribulation.

Nothing like a bunch of hardship to really see everybodys TRUE COLORS.

Where's the word rapture in the Bible. It isn't.

"If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened.

'splain to me how "the elect" are still here when it all hits the fan, if they were all supposedly raptured away.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 37579514


The word 'rapture' is an English word, but there are no English words in the original Greek and Aramaic bibles.

In the Greek bible, the word used is 'harpazo' which means to be snatched away. It suggests the one being snatched away has no say in the matter.

That Greek word was translated into Latin as 'raptius.' And later translators translated that word into the English word 'rapture.' Our English bibles translate the Greek 'harpazo' into 'caught up' as seen in 2 Thessalonians 4:17.

But you probably knew that already, didn't you?
