<p>All my like I have heard , pre trib, mid trib, post trib. So I just ask God " which one is it". And He started showing me through the scriptures that the rapture will happen toward the end of the tribulation. So I lean toward pre wrath. I cannot see any scripture that supports pre trib.</p>

<p>Hi Charlie, God bless you!</p>
<p>A lot of people kind of jump the gun with the rapture. We aren't given an exact date. We are given certain signs to watch for that we can know it's close. IMO the purpose of this is to inspire us to get our lives together and live for God. When we believe in the rapture we can live our lives more pleasing to Him.</p>

<p>Dan,</p>
<p>Blessings. The Scripture does not necessarily tell us that we immediately go to heaven. It speaks of a resurrection where the dead in Christ rise and then we which remain will be caught up with them to meet the Lord in the air.

<p>Blessings. The Scripture does not necessarily tell us that we immediately go to heaven. It speaks of a resurrection where the dead in Christ rise and then we which remain will be caught up with them to meet the Lord in the air. (I Thessalonians 4:13-17) You may be speaking of another rapture that some believe will happen before the tribulation or the great tribulation where the believers are raptured from the earth and go to heaven. I personally do not believe the Bible speaks of two separate events - one before the tribulation and another at the end. I believe all the verses used to speak of the catching away of the believers to be with Christ is one event towards the end of this age. I personally believe this is a future event maybe sometime very soon. I believe that once this event happens, there will be no more salvation for the Gentile and maybe even for the Jew even though some believe the Jews will be saved when Jesus returns to the earth. In Revelation 14, John speaks of the harvest of the earth. These are all those who believe in Jesus whether dead or remain that will be caught up together to meet Jesus. I Cor 15:50-51 says we will be changed in a moment. This is the moment when all believers in Christ are given their new bodies. I cannot find another event in Scripture where this takes place again. This is the resurrection. It is the end of the church age. There may be a judgment following that but that judgment will not include the church. That judgment is complete once you become a believer in Jesus. You are judged righteous in the sight of God. You are made whole. Jesus has redeemed you from all your sin and you become complete in Him. That is what is important. What we believe about future events are not nearly as important even though important as how we believe we are saved. </p> Hello all

<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-right: 75px;"><p>What does the Bible say about the rapture? Two key questions:</p>

Please note that the reference to 2nd Thessalonians is incorrect. You mean to say Paul's First Letter to the Thessalonians: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://bible.cc/1_thessalonians/4-17.htm" target="_blank">First Thessalonians 4:17</a>. For the benefit of all, I would like to post the verse in context.</span></span></p>
<div style="color: navy;"><ul>
<li>But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. [<a rel="nofollow" href="http://bible.cc/1_thessalonians/4-13.htm" target="_blank">13</a>]</li>
<li>For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep. [<a rel="nofollow" href="http://bible.cc/1_thessalonians/4-14.htm" target="_blank">14</a>]</li>
<li>For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. [<a rel="nofollow" href="http://bible.cc/1_thessalonians/4-15.htm" target="_blank">15</a>]</li>
<li>For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. [<a rel="nofollow" href="http://bible.cc/1_thessalonians/4-16.htm" target="_blank">16</a>]</li>
<li><strong>Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.</strong> [<a rel="nofollow" href="http://bible.cc/1_thessalonians/4-17.htm" target="_blank">17</a>]</li>

<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-right: 0px; color: black;"><p> Christians hold <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.equip.org/perspectives/eschatology/" target="_blank">diverse and often conflicting views</a> regarding <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.gotquestions.org%2FEschatology.html&ei=Jt3hUMnjE6TVigKWyYC4DA&usg=AFQjCNGYKcd4nLmG9i-Rnlr0Pb4nHpHdMw" target="_blank">eschatology</a> or end times and the second coming of Jesus, depending on how they interpret the Scriptures. <span>These fall broadly into <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.princeton.edu/~achaney/tmve/wiki100k/docs/Christian_eschatology.html" target="_blank">four main camps</a>: 1) the Preterist approach, 2) the Historicist method, 3) the Futurist method, and 4) the Idealist or Symbolic method. </span>For some, focusing on eschatology can become an unhealthy preoccupation or obsession because they miss the larger picture of Christ's redemptive work. For many, it's a worthy matter of speculation and Biblical scholarship. </p>
<p><span style="line-height: 150%;"> For all believers, our hope is grounded in what Christ has done for us on the cross and his resurrection. In Christ, we have been given the gift of eternal life, of salvation, including forgiveness, justification, sanctification and glorification. While we may have different opinions on eschatology, these are transcended by the common hope we share in </span><span style="color: navy;">"looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our Great God and Savior Jesus Christ" (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://bible.cc/titus/2-13.htm" target="_blank">Titus 2:13</a>). </span>Christ has died, Christ has risen, and Christ is coming again!</p>
