i think you might be confusing a few things, revelation is a book in the bible. the rapture is actually a word not in the bible but a concept that the church will one day be removed from the earth and ushered into heaven and then shortly after the antichrist will come on the scene and then there will be world war and all kinds of havoc and judgements sent from God. the good thing is that he sent a savior and that is jesus christ and he died for you and me for our sins, wont you pray to him today.

When Christians get raptured, that means that they are taked out of this earth and go to Heaven. Some believe Christians will get raptured at the time of Jesus' 2nd coming. Some think Christians will get raptured, then comes the 7 years of tribulation, and then Jesus comes again.

The answer to your question is very complexed, read Revelations, some of it wont make sense to you but some of it will. There are lots of things that will happen in the last days,going to Heaven will be one of them.The dead will rise first and then the living christians will go later. I have a 2000 year old bible that keeps telling me whats going to happen and day by day it comes true.If you pray before reading the Bible it all makes sense.......

Only the true blue ones that followed all the rules all the time (this is biblically) which means you arent likely to know anyone getting raptured.. the rest remain for the tribulations
(144,000 people of all time on all history of earth get to heaven? what ya think the chances are that yer ever gonna know one of em? LOL)

God raptures the saved of earth and takes them to heaven. The word rapture itself isn't in the Bible, we just gave the event in the Bible the name, Rapture. The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 14:52 "In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed." (KJV) "For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: 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 KJV) So the event is Biblical, we just gave it a name.

getting raptured and going to heaven come as a package. that is what rapture means. We will be 'raptured' into heaven.

Jesus only comes back once on the day of the LORD, at which time the resurrection will occur. The rapture is the concept of the taking up of all the souls to be judged.
Jesus only comes back once not twice.

Contrary to popular religious dogma, no one is being raptured or taken away. Challenge anyone to come up with where it says that in the Bible, you'll probably get some vague scriptures taken out of context.
