If the rapture is A secret catching away then why does everybody know about it (The Big Lie). Is someone going to go to Hell for letting the cat out of the bag, usually A secret is suppose to be kept secret and no one knows about it but it seems everyone does know about the big lie they call the rapture.

It ain't gonna happen. It was a theory created in the 1830's.

What are you talking about? The "rapture" is a theory of how the end time MAY come about. And who said it was a secret catching away? The bible tells us that Jesus will come like a thief in the night and that no one will know the time for the day. Those who love Him and have a relationship with Him are saved. It's right there in back and white, and there is no lie there.

Everyone knows about the Rapture because it was too hard to keep it secret. When it happened back in 1998, it became public knowledge, and it hasn't been a "secret" since.

The word Rapture is found nowhere in the Bible. Really when you stop and think about it the teaching of the Rapture is that humans will be caught away in the clouds right? While they are still alive is what the teaching is. Here is my question back to you then. What happened to Jesus before he asscended to heaven? He died right. The scriptures say that neither flesh nor blood can inherit the kingdom of God. So what makes you think that you can go to heaven without dying when Jesus could'nt?
(1 Corinthians 15:50) 50 However, this I say, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit God’s kingdom, neither does corruption inherit incorruption.. . .

Why do you refer to the rapture as a secret? It is not a secret, never was intended to be a secret, and is fairly well foretold in the Bible, even if there is disagreement as to when it will happen in regards to the other events in the Bible's End Times prophecies.
It is well known that the word 'rapture' is not in the Bible, but it is also well researched as to why not. What is clear in the Bible is foretelling of a day when those who believe in Christ, and those who are dead (or asleep, as the Bible oft refers to death) will be taken from this earth to be with Christ.

The rapture is not a secret and all eyes will know when it happens. No one will be left alive on earth.
"Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him." Revelation 1:7.
"The Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, ... and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air." 1 Thessalonians 4:16, 17.
"And there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great." "And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent Revelation 16:18, 20, 21. (See also Jeremiah 4:23-26; Isaiah 24:1, 3, 19, 20; Isaiah 2:21.)
"With the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked." Isaiah 11:4
"When the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God." 2 Thessalonians 1:7, 8.
"The slain of the Lord shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground." Jeremiah 25:33.
"I beheld, and, lo, there was no man." Jeremiah 4:25.

The Rapture is no secret. If you watch what is going on in the middle east and know anything about prophecy in the Bible, you should know that it is going to happen pretty soon. Are you ready? If not, I hope you do some serious thinking and reading about the subject.

Who ever said the rapture is a secret? God wouldn't have put it in the Bible if it was supposed to be a secret.

Matthew 24:21 says that the great tribulation is worst than ever
and that if it wasn't for the chosen ones and his stepping in to stop it no one would be saved alive.
If they were raptured out why would it make a difference?
It says these come out of the great tribulation.
Survivors of the great tribulation. To be a survivor you have to be in it.

The bible never said it was a secret so who ever told you that they're (The Big Lie) not God's Word. HIs word tells us what is going to happen whether you be ready or not. The choice is yours.

It's not a secret. It will happen in the twinkling of an eye and it means it will happen so fast people want realize it. You are entitled to your opinion but that does not change the truth.
