How can you be sure that the rapture hasn't already taken place ...that almost none of you made the mandate that god was looking for, and the people who are missing with no trace have gone to be with him....I mean dont we always say that the signs of the prophecy are taking place....

Sorry, I do not believe at all in this pre-millennial rapture foolishness.
I do believe that there are many humans still living here on earth who have had a profound Spirit Baptism or Spirit Birth or Born Again in God and Jesus as One Spirit -- all the same Sacred Gift to us, but by many different descriptions -- IS the same as being Raptured !
Our GOD is Saving love and lavish mercy ! and this false teaching of some evil humans being "left behind" while the good Christians ascend is pure fantasy or worse ! All humans -- all good, average and bad and even absolutely iniquitous -- will all physically die here, and then all will, sooner or later, be taken up by Jesus and the Holy Spirit into final loving and merciful judgment.
See and believe John 12:31-32 all True !
Peace and progress,

We can't. Only God knows. I personally do not believe in the rapture like many other people do. Many people think only Catholics will be raptured, or whites, etc. I believe that a certain number of people will be protcted when the end comes. I do not believe the end will be as apparent as it is in the books and movies. The Bible says it will come like a theif in the night. Meaning we will not know when it has come. It may have already begun, we are just awaiting the final few years, days, etc. for all Hell to break loose and Jesus to return and set up His mighty Kingdom. I hope that you will be among the living here to praise God once He has established the new thousand year Kingdom.

I am positive the rapture has not happened yet because I am still here. The bible is full of God's promises to us and since I have given my life to The Lord, and I truely believe that Jesus is the Son of God, then I know I will be lifted up to meet Jesus in the sky when the rapture takes place, just like the bible promises.

It's called FAITH.... there are plenty of Christians living just the way God wants us to. And you can trust me on this, if the rapture had already taken place, this planet would be unlike anything you can even imagine, but for only seven years. After that, it's all over for those who don't accept Jesus Christ as the Son of God and our Saviour. I hope you're on the right side when all of this happens. Because it will happen.

The entire world will see the rapture when it happens and there will be absolutely no confusion as to what's happening when it does occur--Jesus will return for His followers immediately after the Great Tribulation but immediately before God's wrath is poured out on the unbelievers who remain. So since it hasn't yet been witnessed simultaneously by the entire world, it hasn't happened yet. Check out the first link below.

I am still here. I would be gone if it had taken place. and that a fact. Also there would be tons of planes crashes and car wrecks, derailments. all at the same time, all over the world.A lot of empty houses too.The dead in Christ will rise, first then we who are alive will be caught up with him in the air. How glorious that will be.....Don't get left behind. Well if you do then you'll know...Look at it this way If we Christian are wrong it does not hurt anyone. But if we are right. Look how many will be lost. It will be too late then. The bible says what ever you are doing when he comes keep doing it still. ( indicating to late to change) Our job is not to convince but to tell you. I Love your question. Also the world would be in a mess much worse than now. Because all the good people would be gone so that only leaves the evil crimes makers or unsaved ones. Imagine that for a minute. Even the thought hurts. God bless!!

Then we are in undesirable shape in case you're perfect. There would desire to be comprehend greater death in accordance to Revelations 20:15, Rev 21:4 and much less tears or crying etc yet we've lots of those. while he returns it is interior the comparable way the disciples seen him ascend. Matt 24:30, Acts a million:11.

In Revelation, the Bible tells us that every eye will see and that has not been possible until recently, with the invention of the television. I think if half of the people on earth disappeared in the past 50 years, it would be in the history books.

What a great topic, you want to know what people should not even be allowed to voice their opinion.
Those that are apocalypse wishing rapture waiting doom saying morons.
Can you actually beleive that there are people who are hoping looking forward to some sort of end times, these people need to all be put in mental institutions.
