Dear aedgag,
The "rapture" occurs on the last day or Judgment Day-end of the world. I have explained this question before so I will just list the Bible references that you can look up:
1. 1 Thess. 4:14-18
2. 1 Corinthians 15:51-53
3. John 6:39, 40, 44, 54
4. John 12:48
5. John 11:24
6. Luke 17:26-30
7. *John 5:28, 29
Taking ALL these Scripture references together, we come to the truth that Judgment Day is the last day or the end of the world (universe). It also marks the day when the true believers shall be taken up into heaven.
I hope this helps you.
**Oh, Ezekiel 38, 39 is not a physical battle. It is a spiritual battle that is actually going on today. God has departed from all the local churches and allowed satan to rule there now (2 Thessalonians 2). Any person that remains in the local congregations is under the wrath of Almighty God. We are now in the Great Tribulation of Matthew 24.

Three possible answers:
1. After. The theory is, the Faithful will be taken up before any of the bad stuff happens. It's the very first sign.
2. There is no Rapture. This is all based on one verse where Jesus says the Faithful will be"Taken up" in the "Blink of an eye". I'm not even entirely sure what Jesus was talking about when he made this reference.
3. Ezikiel has absolutely nothing to do with "End times" or "millenialist" theory. It was refering to events which happened 2500 years ago and it's over. It, like Daniel can be translated to infer Christ's Messiahood" and nothing more. Or worse, it's about the fate of early Isreal.

some human beings say that broccoli ice cream gets teenagers to consume their vegetables yet that would not make it real! there is not any rapture so no longer something can happen in the previous or after the rapture. The peace settlement, i anticipate you advise an exegesis from Daniels prophesy of weeks... relatively that's relating Christ asserting the hot Covenant - in case you think approximately that a pretend peace settlement then you've extra to rigidity approximately than prophesy.

Hopefully after the rapture (because obviously the US will have been sidelined one way or another (destroyed in a surprise nuke attack? rev. 18?) or the russians would never do this. Most likely before the anti-christ, the annihilation of the russians would seem to be necessary for one non-russian to take over the world.

Actually, there is no scripture to support a rapture, which means that nothing can come before or after it.

There is no such thing as the Rapture, and there is no Antichrist, as an individual, like the Pope, or Nero, or Adolf Hitler. Those are both false doctrines.

The Rapture must needs come before all of that unpleasantness, since it's designed to spare the true believers any inconvenience.
