For my fellow Christians those of you who are familiar with Prophecy concerning the Rapture can you tell me how much longer you think we'll have to wait before it happens?
What other event's need to occur and why before Jesus takes us home?
Do we have years,months weeks?
I know Turkey plays a vital role in the events leading up to the Rapture but I'm not sure how.
Let me know your thoughts on this subject.
God bless you and may peace and joy be with you!

See the thing is about the rapture if it will happen is it is clear that no one could possibly know when. Over in Israel evrythingis in place for the most part yes but still we do not know how long GOd will wait before it all happens. AS far a turky well they dont have anything to do with the rapture, the do however take part in a war against Israel. YOu can read this in Eze 38. Country's mentioned are named after there descendants. Turky is in there but I do not recall who they are in bible language.
Please remember one thing, because the rapture might happen do not sit still and wait for it, go out and spread the Gospel the world need to hear it.
GOd bless

It could happen tonight, it could happen 1,000 years from now. No one knows the day and a day to the LORD is no different than 1,000 years, just be ready at anytime.
"But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up." - 2 Peter 3:7-10.

Consider Ocham's Razor - that the simplest explanation is usually correct. In this case, there are enough christians who say the signs are already here, but the rapture doesn't appear to have happened. Wouldn't it be the most reasonable explanation to consider that the rapture has already happened and everyone was left behind?
Now I will make a prediction about the rapture: When the 'conditions' have been in place long enough that anyone claiming there is going to be a rapture is going to look a bit stupid, the rapture will be "reinterpreted" to mean that 'souls' will be rapturously lifted from the dying before they die....... Similar reinterpretations have happened with your religion before, and they will happen again.

Not many things are left to fullfill the prophecies before the rapture. WE dont have an exact date and we dont need one. What we need to know that Jesus is coming soon and we need to be fully ready by being fully His, and then whenever it comes, we are ready. Our concern is to live the truth, speak the truth and tell the world about Jesus soon return.
God bless you. May God bless you to overflow.......

I have been following the Technology for Years.
I believe we are in the Season.
I listen to alot of Prophecy Teachers too (Christian).
I AM not a Date Setter, but we are Close I Believe.
How Close?
Unless the Father Calls "Time Out" on the Official Time (HE can do that), I don't give it more than 20 Years if that much.
Were Close.

I don't know, could be an hour, could be a day, could be next week, or ten years from now. There is nothing else that has to occur. We are to continue proclaiming the Gospel and doing good works until either we pass or it happens.

First I think John Hagee is wrong wrong wrong !!!!!!
It really irks me that a 'pastor' would list a date for Christ to return when Christ doesn't even know the date! Then when he is proven wrong, it only goes to escalate the hate the atheists have for christians in the first place.
When will Christ return--- at the most perfect time.
How long will that be- again at the most perfect time.
Its not something I dwell on, if it happens in my lifetime, wonderful, I go home with my Saviour, if it doesn't, I know its all in God's perfect timing and that alone, is good enough for me.

The rapture is one day closer today than it was yesterday.
