Question for those who know about the rapture????

Question

will there be a warning immediately before the rapture? I was reading in Matthew about the parable of the 10 virgins and how there was a trumpet right before...does anyone know of any other verses to support that? or will we just disappear to meet him in the twinkeling of the eye?

Answer 1

Friend you are looking at the Foolish virgins, 5 were wise & 5 was foolish, They ALL slept, Matt. 25:5 Sister if you read verse 6 And at Midnight there was a Cry made, And when this Cry was made The 5 wise virgins woke up from their Spiritual sleep, Sister I am going to tell you something that is very surprising to many Christians, I can not explain it the way it should be, therefore I am going to give you a web site to study this man's Ministry, God Sent a True Prophet to this last church age, to get us back Into the word & away from false teachings, His ministry was that Cry that was made, You will disagree but I am just trying to answer your question The site to go to is www.william branham.com Study that mans ministry, so now to further answer your question, When Christ returns for his Bride, he will only come in the spiritual form to recieve his Bride in the clouds to take them to the marriage supper, The world itself will not even know it has taken place, only the Bride, then after the great tribulation we see Jesus & his Bride coming back in the physical form to rule & reign for 1000 yrs. Rev. 19:14 That is when the world will see him in the physical form with his Bride at his side.

Answer 2

The primary verses you might want to consider are found at Revelation 4:1-2. These verses explicitly show what will occur: a door will appear in the sky, then we'll hear a trumpet blast and a command to "come up here!" Immediately afterward, we will be in Heaven; there will be no feeling of flying through space (good thing, since I'm afraid of heights!) In this context, the Apostle John symbolizes a single believer who's raptured. (Incidently, the raptured saints are symbolized by the 24 elders; if you want more info, send me a message through YA).

This door in the sky is the reason Jesus tells us to "look up, for your redemption draws near" at Luke 21:28!

I can also tell you that the parable of The Wise and the Foolish Virgins in Matthew 25 doesn't reference the rapture. This parable pertains to Tribulation saints at the time of Jesus' return. Jesus starts the parable with the words, "THEN the kingdom of heaven will be ....." The "then" He refers to is "the coming of the Son of Man," (Matthew 24:29-31) also known as the Second Coming. It's important to understand that all of the parables after Matthew 24:29-31 pertain to what happens to the good (sheep) and the wicked (goats) at His return. Likewise, the short parable about the two men in the field, and the women at the mill pertains to the "sheep and goat judgement" explained at Matt. 25:32-33. Those "taken" are the wicked; those "left" are the meek, who will inherit the earth, i.e. believers who survived the Tribulation.

Read also Numbers 10:1-10 for an interesting Old Testament "picture" of the Rapture.

I hope this helps. Peace.

Answer 3

There will be more than a few people go missing all at once... befor that there will be some activity...though how visible it will be is not known...when the dead of The Chruch will rise... there is debate on what will happen, but I am of the position that it will be a witnessed event and that the world will know what it means and will know the comeing concequences... but of of course it will be too late for them... at least for most of them...I do not think The Church should be too concerned about the "how" it will happen...just that we should continue to carry out God's commandment untill it dose.... I am not going to worry about it... but I do hope it occures befor my mortal end... I do want to witness it all as I go to Meet My Lord in the air.

Answer 4

I hate to break this to you but there will be no warning. God said He will come "like a theif in the night." That means there won't be enough time for unbeliever to hear some warning and say "oh I'll just run to a church get saved and go to heaven." That's person wouldn't get saved because he loved God, he'd just do it to escape Hell.

Put it like this:
You recieved a notice that tommorow you and your friends would recieve $1,000,000,000. A billion dollars is alot of money, and your friends get it too. Now if you told everyone that news, everyone would want to be your friend, not because they really like you, but because they want a billion dollars.

Same rule applies. And it's gonna happen "in a twinkling of an eye." Meaning the amount of time it takes to blink will be the amount of time it takes for it to happen. I'd encourage you to get saved as soon as possible.

Answer 5

No warning because it won't happen.

On the other hand Ragnarök will.
The first sign will be three winters in which war will engulf the Earth. Throughout the world, great battles will be fought; all taboos will be broken, brothers killing one another, and sons will murder their fathers too, mostly out of greed. No kinship will be sacred. This period would be known as the age of axes, age of swords, age of wolves and age of winds.
Next winter and cold weather will last for three years, with no summer in between the winter seasons. This will be known as fimbul-winter "mighty winter", snowing from all directions, and the sun and stars will be blocked from the sky.
Finally, Heimdall will warn the gods of Asgard (the Aesir) of Ragnarök by sounding his horn Gjallarhorn. It will be the sound of doom. The gods will arm themselves for the war, even though they know that they can't win. All the slain heroes (Einherjar) who live in Valhalla will accompany them. These heroes will now assist the gods in a hopeless war. The battlefield will be fought upon the plain of Vigrid. Freyr, without his magical sword and totally unarmed will be the first god to fall to the fire-giant Surt's flaming sword. The one-handed Tyr manages to kill the hellhound Garm, but Tyr is so severely wounded that he dies shortly after the hound. The contest between Loki and Heimdall is evenly matched that both die from the other's weapon. The thunder-god Thor smashes Midgard Serpent to death with his mighty Mjollnir, but the conflict will exact a heavy toll on the god. Thor will succumbe from the searing venom of Jörmungand (Midgard Serpent). Odin fights with his mighty spear Gungnir against the monstrous wolf Fenrir. Eventually, Odin falls, devoured by Fenrir. Silent Vidar, seeing his father fall to the giant wolf, bounds upon Fenrir and tares the wolf's jaws apart with his bare hands. Surt then sets the world ablaze with his flaming sword. None of the nine worlds escape from the fire. The earth tries to sink into the sea to avoid the scorching heat. Gods and men, giants and dwarves will all perished in the fire. Fire that reaches high as the heaven. The sun will darken and the stars will vanish from heaven.

With Ragnarök ended, new life begins as the earth rises from the sea. The earth will be green and fertile. A new sun will rise and across the sky; the chariot will be driven by the daughter of Sol or Alfrodul ("Sun").
Not everything will be destroyed after Ragnarok. The Gimle continues to exist. It is a place of plenty food and drink, and other pleasure can be found in Brimir, a hall of Gimle. Vili (or Hoenir as he is often known by) and many of the younger gods who take part in the war will survive. Vidar and Vali, the two sons of Odin, will survive Ragnarok, as does the two sons of Thor, Modi and Magni, who will wield Mjollnir, their father's mighty hammer. None of the goddesses are mentioned in various accounts of Ragnarok, but there is assumption that Frigg, Freyja and the other goddesses will survive. Balder, the dead god of beauty, and his blind brother, Hod, will be reborn in the New Age. Two mortals, Lif and Lifthrasir will escape the destruction of Ragnarök, because they will hide themselves at Hoddmimir's wood; they will repopulate Midgard.

Now this is the truth.

Answer 6

First Corinithians 15:52 speaks of this too. Consider yourself warned when you read Matthew...now act on it and get saved.

Answer 7

I think believers will know, in the blink of an eye, that they are about to be taken. I don't think anyone else will see anything, other than people disappearing, and there certainly won't be any time to "repent" beforehand.

Answer 8

No one knows the day of the rapture because if we did then we would do all of our bad things and on that day, we would repent from our sinful days... Just like no one knows the day Jesus is coming back.....

Answer 9

I do not think there will be a warning, but maybe an announcement. A warning would give someone time to do something, an announcement would not.

Answer 10

I think the angels will sound their horns and jesus will come in the clouds and everybody is going to be disappearing and things like that
