Mat 24:29 ¶ Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
Mat 24:30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
Mat 24:31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Like some were debating yesterday, many turn to Christianity because they
think they are getting away with something.
They have been saying for years that the Rapture will occur before the Tribulation.
When Jesus said in Matthew 24, AFTER the Tribulation of those days, the
sky will be dark, and then the sign of the Son of man will appear.
Today, they are even perverting scripture to the point they are saying the Rapture
and Second Coming are two different events. I personally read the verses they
claim backs this up, and one verse they said mentions the Rapture, clearly
used the word COMING.
The blind lead the blind. It's just wishful thinking that they won't have to suffer
at all. The Book says we will be spared the WRATH OF GOD. And the Book makes
it clear the event will occur at the time of the 7th angel and his trumpet.
Right before the Wrath of God period.

Its a piece of ****
A normal human being - Jesus returns back to earth (ha ha), with Angels(whores), the earth gets destroyed when he steps on it(wooooooow), then he'll destroy everyone, we'll reign with Jesus for a 1000 yrs(giggle), the a new Jerusalem(burial ground), second earth(the whole universe is his father's???), God will judge dead, n we will inhabit de earth n stay forever n ever...(de earth was already destroyed by his touch???)
All the above things u told are nothing but some motherfuckin stories of jobless people.
@ Dead can't raise no matter what
- the body decays 2 fossil fuels
@ Its not Jesus who destroys the earth
- its the SUN
@ New Jerusalem, 2nd earth
- Piece of ****, it could only b another planet on which the people of advanced years would settle in future with their own tech.
@ The rest all are Blah! Blah!
It doesn't seem right, cause science the only true thing has no xplanation to these ****** up bed time stories.

As I understand it, first Jesus will come in the sky and call His bride (both living and dead) to Him.
Then 7 years of Tribulation (some people thing that there will be a mid-trib rapture also).
Then Jesus will return (with a great earth quake when His feet touch Mt. Olive).
Satan will be thrown into a pit during Christ's 1,000 year reign.
Satan will be released for a short time.
Than a finale battle.
Then a new Heaven and earth.

No my friend it is two different events...First Jesus will come and collect is elect(sealed by the holy spirt) Christians. Then he will take us to heaven for 7 years while the tribulation period is going on(Remember he said that our hours would be shorten). Next after the seven years we come back with him and he rules and reigns. His feet hit the top of mount olives and makes a earth quake.
Some say the the world will be destoryed and some say it wan't.
Go here and click questions of the week http://www.jackvanimpe.com/ for some intresting information.
Edit I will not disagree that Pauls says there are three heavens. But as for second earth and thrid earth stuff I will not agree with. I have never have found any thing in the bible that supports this. (it is Mormon and Jehovah Witness I believe teach this).

Friend, you have the wrong interpretation. Did God destroy this earth during the flood even though God said he will destroy it, No, So we see the earth destroy(CLEANSE) by water, But yet it is the same earth, & in the last days, he will destroy(CLEANSE) it by fire, But this earth will always be here, only in a different fashion. Jesus does not rule & reign 1000 yrs. in heaven but on this earth with his Bride. The next coming of Jesus will be in the spirit form to take his Bride to heave for the marriage supper, Then when he comes back with his Bride (REV. 19:13-14) to rule & reign ON THIS EARTH & NOT IN HEAVEN in the physical form, The only thing that took place in Jesus Spiritual return was the Rapture & ressurrection of the saved, & Jesus took them to heaven for the marriage supper, Then He comes back to rule & reign on this earth with his Bride for 1000 yrs. & after the 1000 yrs. we see satan being loose for a little season to test & try everyone that was born in the Millennium, because God is a Just God. Your interpretation is that we will live in heaven 1000 yrs. No, Friend, we will live here on THIS earth but this earth has been cleansed by fire,, That is you new Earth but yet the same earth. Now as far as the New City Jerusalem, Friend, what & who is that New City. Rev. 21st chapter says a lot. Verse 2; And I John saw the holy city new Jerusalem coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband, Lets skip down to verse 9 & 10 ---- Come hither, I will show thee the Bride The Lamb's wife. 10: And he carried me away in the spirit to a great & high mountain, & showed me the Great city The Holy Jerusalem Decending out of heaven from God. The New city Jerusalem Is his BRIDE..Also the first ressurection had already taken place in the Rapture, That ressurrection is for only The saints, The wicked is not risen until the 1000 yrs is over. That 2nd ressurection is only the wicked still in the ground of this earth, after The Millennium, The wicked will be Judged & cast into the lake of fire with Hell & satan with them. So if You think this earth will be destroy, what happen to the wicked dead that does not come forth until the 1000 yrs is up, In order to destroy the earth literally Then that would also destroy all the wicked in the ground & then you would have to do away with the scriptures pertaining to the wicked live not again until the 1000 yrs is Over. After The Great White Throne Judgement, WE will go into the eternal age & this Earth will be just like it was in the Garden Of Eden before sin came in. A perfect earth & climate, with God now sitting on the throne,& God majestic glory will once again be with mankind.

My honest opinion is this... I will worry about it when the time comes.
I will focus more on living holy than things I have no control over. Once we are in our spiritual bodies, all of these questions will be answered.
My goal is to not be alive on earth when all that stuff happens.
There are 2 theories--pre tribulation and post tribulation raptures. I don't know which theory is correct. I don't study it because it has no bearing on my salvation. If I am left behind, then I will study it for sure. But unless that happens, I won't put too much time into it.

You are very close my friend. We who are faithful and watch for the return of Christ will be rescued from God's wrath just before He pours it out on the wicked.
Just as God saved Noah and his family before He destroyed all life, we will also escape God's wrath.
Just like God spared Lot and his family, God will also spare His faithful just before He pours out His wrath on the earth.
Luke 21:34And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
