I DO look forward to it, but that will not be the end. It's just sad to me that so many that I love will not be with me. I don't try to beat them over the head with it. That's pointless. The tribulation which follows the rapture will be a horrible time. Satan will be having his way. I'm sad for those who will remain.

I believe in the rapture but not the secret one 1 Thessalonians 4 clearly states that all eyes will see him when he comes and the dead will rise to meet him in air. I believe it is very near, but there is a few things left to be fulfilled like Revelation 13 with the mark of the beast and the persecution of the saints just before Jesus comes.

I agree - I think the time is sooooo right and yes - I am excited for it too.
Too much happening in the world that the Bible describes what will happen just prior to the Rapture...

Every generation has a few people that go on about the rapture and how the end is near. I don't think that the end is anywhere close to near.

2Thessalonians 2:1-12 However, brothers, respecting the presence/coming of the Lord Jesus Christ and... *our being gathered together to him,*... we request you not to be quickly shaken from your reason nor to be excited either through an inspired expression or through a verbal message or through a letter as though from us, to the effect that the day of YHWH is here. Let no one seduce you in any manner, because it will *NOT* come unless the apostasy comes *first*.....
Then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will do away with by the spirit of his mouth and bring to nothing by the manifestation of his presence/coming.
According to these verses, Jesus will remove false Christians/the apostasy.... before he gathers his chosen ones in the rapture/ changing/ transformation.
Romans 8:19 For the eager expectation of the creation is waiting for the revealing of the sons of God.

Matthew 24:44 tells us "Be ye therefore also ready. For in such an hour as ye think not, the Son of Man cometh". It's an indication that we'll never know for certain when He's coming, but if you want an indication when He's coming, compare the times we live in to the prophecies of Daniel and Revelation.

Pre-Rapture or Post-Rapture? The true question is this, Shouldnt we be prepared when he comes? We see the signs but theres alot more to be done.Until then ,Be prepared and preach the gospel to as much people as you can.

Rapture why are you so quick to want to escape when there are people in other countries that are put to death for being a Christan.
The rapture will take place when God is ready for it to happen in my opinion we are not ready
