I kinda feel like I want to be one of the ones that is left behind during the rapture so that I can lead people to Christ. I know I would probably be killed, but it'd be worth it. I would want to see fellow believers rising up with me to defeat the beast. Then, in the end of all of it, Wee would alll be standing at Jesus' side over Satan in victory and those who were once lost would now be found. I really want to stay behind and lead others to Christ, but I also want to live for God. To be left behind you have to be a non-Christian or you haven't excepted Jesus into your heart. I'm afraid that if there aren't any believers, then no one will be won for Jesus. Does anyone else feel like this??

I am not so sure I belief in the interpretation of Revelation as interpreted by Tim LaHaye. So I am not so sure any of us get to leave before things get bad. ( as if they aren't bad enough)

Are you a mentalist?
"Standing at Jesus's side over Satan in victory" not only is that one of the poorest constructed passages of all time, it is also utter nonsense.
Personally I am more inclined to believe that there will be a Hobbit Vs Orc war in Middle Earth rather than some battle between a resurrected carpenter and a red fella with horns and goat feet.

Sounds like there is either a conflict in thought or lack of information about what will happen at that time. Perhaps opening up to other sources of knowledge may help. For example, Muslims believe that once Jesus comes back, he will lead the Muslims and fight the false messiah. He will lead them as a muslim prophet. That may sound weird but worth investigating to me. The Islamic sources of knowedge like the Quran and the Hadith provide a lot of enforcing and complementary information that you may find make sense.

Sweet sister its easy to say that now... but when u will be faced with such evil as the antichrist ruling the earth and men and women's love waxing cold then all your efforts will probably come to nothing.
If you can..try to share the Glorious Gospel of Jesus NOW while there is still time to do so...
Your being here after the rapture will mean that you yourself did not allow the Lord to work by His Spirit to transform and conform you ... it meant that you were like one of the five foolish who did not take oil in your vessel.. meaning that you just let the Lord be in your spirit and He did not get to spread in your soul or vessel and tranfrom into the Image of Christ.
Its no easy thing to be left behind..
If the bible can say that the world will never or or has ever seen suffering or tribulation in that day as it has ever before then I'd open my heart to be worked on by the Lord NOW while there is the abundance of grace supplied to us
Men and women are stubborn NOw..can u imagine how much more they will be then?

http://www.restoringthevision.com/Ch13RtheV.htm. Look at chapters 6 and 7 of Revelation. The 144,000 tribes of Israel will believe and win people over to Jesus during the Great Tribulation. It will be a very difficult time. Some will turn to Jesus but will sadly have to go through so much suffering.
God already has a plan. You won't need to stay. May God Bless you for caring so much for other people.

Yes, I know what you are saying and yes, I have felt that way myself. However, only God knows how things will work out. I don't try to interpret things but go directly to Him.
It was my desire to still be on the earth when Christ appears in the sky and people all over the world see Him all at once. That is going to be so awesome.

Don't believe everything you hear.Who told you no Christians will be going threw the tribulation? The reason God saves the earth is for those he for knew that are yet to be born during the 1000 year reign. A lot of Christians are going threw the tribulation and will be refined with fire like fine Gold.

I totally understand what you mean and I have thought about it but we know that God take all true Christians then if I were left behind I'm not a true christian.....though there are many ppl who say they are and follow and study the Lord then are not truly Christians some will have a church background I believe they will realize all that was predicted happened and turn to the Lord and be able to find those who know about the Lord.

I want to be Ready for when the Lord comes and that is as simple as it gets. I only want the Will of the Lord concerning my life to be done....It's whatever HE chooses that I will be Happy with. For those left behind, I believe those are the Chosen Jews if I remember correctly. They will have to Die for their new Faith.
I actually think it's kinda sad..Seeing since Jesus was the First Christian Jew.....I pray His people or Chosen Ones will see the light soon........
