Are we blinding ourselves because it is said noone knows the
"day or hour"? Doesn't it say it will happen when the Seventh angel
blows his trumpet? Or do we ignore this revelation because we don't want to deal with the suffering that is predicted to take place?

At the second comming of Jesus
"Then Jesus told them another story: "The kingdom of heaven is like a man who planted good seed in his field. That night, when everyone was asleep, his enemy came and planted weeds among the wheat and then left. Later, the wheat sprouted and the heads of grain grew, but the weeds also grew. Then the man's servants came to him and said, 'You planted good seed in your field. Where did the weeds come from?' The man answered, 'An enemy planted weeds.' The servants asked, 'Do you want us to pull up the weeds?' The man answered, 'No, because when you pull up the weeds, you might also pull up the wheat. Let the weeds and the wheat grow together until the harvest time. At harvest time I will tell the workers, "First gather the weeds and tie them together to be burned. Then gather the wheat and bring it to my barn..." Then Jesus left the crowd and went into the house. His followers came to him and said, "Explain to us the meaning of the story about the weeds in the field." Jesus answered, "The man who planted the good seed in the field is the Son of Man. The field is the world, and the good seed are all of God's children who belong to the kingdom. The weeds are those people who belong to the Evil One. And the enemy who planted the bad seed is the devil. The harvest time is the end of the world, and the workers who gather are God's angels. "Just as the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the world. The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all who cause sin and all who do evil. The angels will throw them into the blazing furnace, where the people will cry and grind their teeth with pain. Then the good people will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. You people who can hear me, listen." (Matthew 13:24 - 43 NCV)
According to Jesus, the people of God and the people of the devil will not be seperated untill the end of the world!

Just like everyone here is saying on the board, we do not know when the rapture will take place, not the angels in heaven, not Christ, only God in Heaven knows...That is why it is important to stay alert and wait to be snatched up into the air..1Thessolonians 4:17 Read it, and you will see what the bible says about being caught up into the air with Christ, we will hear the Trumpet then!!!

We do not know the day or hour but we will know the season; meaning the "general" time. Scripture says to watch and pray and when "these things" begin to happen we will know the hour is nigh. "These things" include wars and rumor of wars, pestilences, earthquakes in diverse places, men's hearts failing them for fear, etc. All of these started some time ago and have now become commonplace. It is safe to say that we are definitely in "the season".
Recent world events have many folks paying very close attention indeed.

This is a indirect prophecy because after the 13th chapter of the book of revelations until about the 22nd chapter the church is not mentioned as being on earth the rapture will happen when God is provoked to anger

We do not know, nor are we suppose to know. We must have faith the bible tells us, believe and follow Jesus everyday - be good, stay good, do good to others, we do not need to worry, do the bird worry about the feathers on them? There are many signs that are going on in the world that are very much in revelations, however, there still is not a time.

No it doesn't. When they cry peace and safety, then sudden destruction will come upon them. Jesus said to be ready and watchful. We believers are to suffer persecution from the world, but not God's wrath. It will not come upon us as a shock. Just the fact that you ask the question tells me that within you is a hint or leading to be ready. Flesh and blood will not inherit the Kingdom of God. Keep the faith. Agape', Granpabiff

According to the Bible, we do not know the time or place. I think that people just like to try to predict it for whatever their personal reasons are. Many rapture predictions have come and past, so my theory is: when it happens it happens, it's not my place to try and guess when.
