sure. You wait for it, I'm going to live my life ok?
(You will be waiting forever)
Jesus is not going to come back. He was a man. He lived, and he died...end of story.

Sorry to burst your bubble honey, and all the rest of the Protestants, but there IS NO RAPTURE!! It's NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!! Nowhere in the Bible does it say that Jesus is coming back 2 more times. That's a false hope and false belief incorporated into the Protestant doctrine in the18th century by a preacher who misinterpreted the Book of Revelation. You are being led astray by this false teaching. You're going to be here for the 7 yr. tribulation just like the rest of us. God's "little flock" (God's true church) are the ones that are going to be protected during that time, They're going to be removed from harms way to a place of refuge by the hand of God. You better hope and pray that you become part part of this "little flock" cause if you're not, you may make it through without harm or you may suffer or even be martyred during that time, they're no guarantees for your safety. If you studied the Bible without bias you would know that already. I'm just giving you a heads up just so you'll know that when your still here at the beginning, or some believe midway into the tribulation, and you're still in your same physical body's, you'll know why. Jesus is only coming one more time, at the end of the Tribulation to gather ALL God's Saints, those who are dead in Christ will be raised first and then those who are living. In the "blink of an eye" their body's will be transformed (born again) into new glorified spirit being body's that will be caught up in the clouds and gathered from the 4 winds of heaven (all around the earth) by God's Angel's and taken to where Jesus is in Jerulsalem, at the Mount of Olives. ...... That's how it's going to be.....Study your Bible!!

You are correct in saying that it will be too late then! Seriously, though, and I am a person of no faith so will not be waiting for the Rapture, I really have absolutely NO desire to spend eternity in the Christian heaven with the pious, trust me!! If it should transpire that you believers are whisked away to paradise, while we heathens are left behind, I shall take my chances in hell with the irreverent for company...

No rapture an orthodox Christian teaching, so I guess most of them will be with the Atheists. No verse or verses in the Bible support the idea of a rapture with certainty. I think it's more fear based nonsense to cull the masses.

Well I think the end of the world has occured. When Jesus died on the cross, the old world ended and the new began. Everything written in Revelations is what happened in the spirit world, what Jesus took in and saved the world from.It is done and finished. Now that is a saviour! Did Jesus not do the job he was sent to do?
Worrying about the rapture is deadening to the spirit. God destroying 65% of His creation does not make sense. Religion has taught garbage about what Jesus was trying to get across to us.
Jesus made belief a law when he was on Earth. That was so that when He died for all sin, eradicated the law, disbelief was covered as well. Sorry to say, but disbelief does not seperate you from God. God and Jesus made the deal about who would be saved, and our opinion or belief was not a part of the deal. That is why we are referred to as the 'bride'. Like a bride of His time - not allowed to make the decisions.

The rapture is false doctrine. A few verses out of context, and a story dreamed up to try to support it. Mark 13 is a list of all the things leading up to Christs return. There is nothing there to indicate that any portion of the population will be gone, raptured, taken, hidden, escaped, none of it.
Ezekiel 13:18 - "I hate those who teach my people to fly to save their souls".
Jesus Christ said that if you want to believe lies, he'll even send strong delusion in them.
This is no time to be Biblically illiterate.

A Lord owned a large beautifull land, which had many people living on it whom He loved. One day, the Lord decides to take a journey away from his land. He leaves no body in charge , because every body on the land are his children, both daughters and sons. As time goes by, some of the people begin to lose faith and fear, so much in fact, that they begin to believe that if they do not do certain things, they will be punished when there Father, the Lord, returns.
They give themselves the title of Leader, and begin to preach to others in the land, there belief s, and warn everyone that if they do not do as the Leader says , then there Father, the Lord, shall punish them when He returns.
Some begin to follow the Leader, and others decide not to, for they know How much there Father, the Lord truely loves them.
Yet the Leader and his followers, decide to banish those whom do not follow him, and throw others out of the land.
One day, the Lord of the land, there Father, finally Returns. And when He does, He notices that many of his children were not there.
Asking around , He finds out what happened, and therefore, brings forth to Him, the leader and all the leaders followers.
And the Lord, there Father, asks them ," You sent forth some of my children from there Home here in my land . Why did you do this?"
The leader and his followers answered," We did this for You, showing our love to you we did so in your name too , to cleanse your land my lord father."
With this, the Lord, Father got Very angery, " You did NOTHING for ME ! You have sent forth MY CHILDREN into Darkness and what s worse is You did so In my NAME !! For this YOU shall recieve the SAME punishment you gave those you judged."
And with that said, He banished the leader and all his followers , and threw them out of his land into darkness

Your leader, Bush, sure is doing a good job speeding up the Apocolypse. What if Bush is really the Antichrist? If people start to realize how much Iron Maiden was taken for granted during their first coming will They come back a second time for their true believers? Have you listened to The Number of the Beast or Run to The Hills lately?

I think that you are misunderstanding some scriptures which are directed at the annointed Christians who will rule in heaven with Christ. Even so, the Bible says that there will be many who die because they choose not to believe in God at all and also many who die because they believe in him but they choose not to obey him. God wants everyone to live and that is why it is so urgent today for us to try to be a great example and teach as many as we can about the wonderful gift God holds out to us--everlasting life without sin and death or any unhappiness.

One of the signs of the end times, is that more and more people will live as if God does not exist.
It's all in the Bible, God's Word, and many prophecies have already been fulfilled.
Seek the Lord while He may be found.
