Two women will be working at a mill. One will be taken, and the other will be left. (Matthew 24 v 40-42).
This description of Jesus of the day when He returns has sparked the imaginations of many. What would it be like if half a town's population suddenly disappeared? Would cars spin out of control, as those bumper stickers that read "WARNING: In case of rapture this vehicle will be unattended" suggest?
The term rapture, meaning "to seize" or "to carry away," is an integral part of Paul's description of Christ's return. At this event, believers are literally pulled up to meet Christ in the air (1 Thessalonians 4 v 17).

Yes! 100% am ready for the Rapture, God's Grace!
When I accept Jesus Christ as my Personal Lord and Saviour then 100% am sure of Heaven. God's Grace!
What is Rapture? Ok! I will explain the meaning of Rapture.
The word popularly applied to the translation of the church at the end of the present age comes from a Latin verb RAPIO, to sieze or to snatch away. The first clear revelation of the rapture of believers is found in John 14:3, where Christ promised to come again and receive His followers unto Himself. Some see this prefigured in the translation of Enoch prior to the destruction of the antediluvian world, Hebrew 11:5.
The central passages dealing with the rapture is 1 Thess. 4:13-18. The Lord will descend from heaven, the dead in Christ will rise first, then all living believers will be caught up together with them to meet the Lord in the air, to be with Him forever after. This revelation expands the outline of events given by Christ in John 14:3 by adding a number of previously unrevealed details. The change which is to take place in Christians in the twinkling of an eye at the rapture is described in 1 Cor. 15:35-54. It will be accomplished by the power with which Christ will "subdue all things unto himself," Phil. 3:20,21
As believers await our translation to be with the Lord, we are to be waiting, 1 Thess 1:10; watching, 1 Thess. 5:6; looking for Him, Tit. 2:13; loving His appearing, 2 Tim. 4:8; putting one another in remembrance, 1 Tim. 4:6; and exhorting one another as they see the day approaching, Heb. 10:25

Are you ready for the rapture? When God saved me he ruptured me then.
Now this theory of this so-called, "The Rapture", is not Biblical. The world will end and that will be it except for, judgment and separation of the ain'ts from the saints, with one group going up, and the other group going down.

As ready as I am for aliens to take over the earth. I read that in a book once, so it must be true.

Yeah I wish it would hurry up so I could stop hearing about it. It's not going to happen. That is NOT rapture. You are misqouting the bible. Again.
