Please don't get caught up in the whole no man knows the day or hour. I know that. I am asking for opinions. I feel sooner that most want to admit.

If the rapture is reality and it is "pre-trib", then it could happen anywhere from the second after I post this message to 1,000 years from now or more.
I do tend to think that we are seeing some signs that the end is coming sooner rather than later. Particularly when I look at all the problems in this world. Some sources suggest that the planet would be unable to sustain life if we keep polluting it for just a few hundred more years...the end will come before that and I don't see us really doing anything to stop it. The "bird flu" has the potential to wipe out huge populations and I don't see us any closer to a cure. Israel is a nation and doesn't look like they are going anywhere...I can't imagine them living surrounded by their enemies with a mosque built on the site of their holy temple for another hundred years or so...something has to give in that situation.

First I don't know but here is a theory. In the bible there is a part that talks about the Jewish Nation is reestablished and in that same area it say that this generation shall not pass before the end. So some believe that when Israel was reestablished roughly 1948. that generation will not pass before the end. That makes them around 60 now. Always remember it is speculation no one knows but it is interesting to hear others theories. Oh by the way the Mayan calendar has the end as Dec 21 20012. More speculation.

ABSOLUTELY !!! The Rapture Is A Breath Away...Bible prophecy Is being fullfilled at an alarming rate...You're right no man knows the day or hour. But we're given certain signs to watch for, In these last days. Also we're warned to watch and pray that we would be accounted worthy to escape all these things that are coming upon the earth. Infact Jesus gave detailed Instructions on what to look for as not to be deceived..What an exciting time to be alive...We are that generation that will not taste death. IBM measured the "Blink of an eye", and It was 11 one hundredths of a second ! That's pretty fast...Jesus Is coming...Are you ready ????

Rapture isn't backed up by the Bible. However the Lord's return I do believe is going to happen very soon. All the things that Revelation talks about are beginning to happen and I do believe that natural disasters will increase in intensity and numbers and that unnatural disasters will as well, just like the Bible says and all those things are beginning to happen. I heard a minister ( Shawn Boonstra with It Is Written ) refer to it like a woman having labor pains before she gives birth. You know how labor pains start off slow and mild and then intensify that that is how the things in Revelation will happen and this is the beginning of those "labor pains"

The catching up of God's people Jew and Gentiles is plenty some distance away. Israel's restoration could desire to first come, then a falling away after approximately 2000 years then the anti-Christ will upward push to capability, then later on Christ will come rapture his people as he come directly to earth with them reigning for a one thousand years.

Where do you get the rapture from,. This is some thing man put together, not getting the facts straight. There is no place in the bible where it speaks of a rapture. In the bible it speaks of the end time when Jesus Christ comes, to claim his kingdom and to save man from totally destroying humanity. Upon claiming his kingdom He has the first resurrection,and baptizing with the spirit those that are with Christ, they are to rule with him a thousand years, and then the second Resurrection, and the whit tower judgment. 1 Corinthians 15;42-57.

I do not believe in the rapture of the Church. Can you comprehend how those who believed in the rapture of the Church felt when they went through persecution? They hoped for a rapture that never happened. Some may have become disillusioned and recanted their faith!

I hope it's soon, but, I think it is still going to be a long time. Don't read John Hagee and Tim LaHaye, they've been wrong several times. I personally don't believe in a pre-trib rapture, I think we are all going up at the end of time, together.

I feel like it may be within the next ten to twenty years, but even if it takes 100 years that would still be considered soon.
