I already explained the rupture to you last week. Has something else ruptured?
NOTE:
For those who seriously think "rapture" -
the rapture is not Biblical, not in the original manuscripts, and will be what is to deceive the mass majority of Christian folks in the end times. Antichrist comes on the 6th trump; the true Christ returns on the 7th trump:
CAN YOU COUNT???

You are probably referring to the 'rapture' or 'catching away' of the church.
.The 'rapture ' of the Church occurs simultaneously with Christ's second Coming in glory and the resurrection of the dead.............All occur together,(see I Thess. 5:15-17); ..."AFTER the Tribulation of those days"(Matt. 24:29-31)
"...At the LAST trumpet"... I Corin. 15:52
Don't be deceived by the fictional "Left Behind" series....which is based on a common misconception that claims the 'rapture' occurs years before Christ's Return. This is not found in Scripture.

The rapture is supposed to be that time when Ghrist will come for some Christians and they will be caught up into the air and go with Him to Heaven,it is a basically romantic and unfounded belief of Protestant origin that actually has no basis in fact.

Rupture comes from the Latin "ruptere" which means "to break." It is often used as a medical term to describe damage to an internal organ.

the definition of Rapture is to be caught up suddenly. some Christians believe they will be Raptured before the Tribulation, and some Christians believe they will be Raptured afterthe Tribulation.
I am a christian that believs the latter.
I hope this helps.

It's called Rapture, and you will not find that word anywhere in the
Bible. But you will find what it means in the Bible...
Revelation 4:1-2 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.
2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
No one knows the exact time and moment that God sends His Son Jesus to take His Chruch out of this world.
Mark 13:32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
Only God the Father knows when what will be. But in order to be a part of that group that Jesus takes back with HIm to heaven, you must be born again..
John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
How do you do this?...
Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
You must turn your life over to the Lord Jesus when you accept Him as your personal Savior, and live according to God's word in the KJV Holy Bible, giving up your old sinful lifestyle and through daily reading of God's word, learn to walk a righteous lifestyle in the footsteps of the Lord.
All those who are left behind after we Christians are "Raptured" will be delt with by God through His wrath and will never see the kingdom of God.
Revelation 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

Consider this previous question:
How accurately does this article describe psychotic religious extremist fundamentalists?

Cyber Harassment
Its forms and perpetrators
My answer:
"Live chat harassment or "flaming" (online verbal abuse)" applies best. When people are harassed due to religious beliefs, race, disability etc., it is even more serious. When this occurs it is called a hate crime.

Believers go up to God, unbelievers stay down here and suffer the tribulations.
