what about those who are left behind those 7 years the antichrist rules they will have to have the mark of the beast to buy and sell and the only way you can get the mark is to bow down to the antichrist or they will be killed, so will they ever have an opportunity to accept Christ?

if they take the mark of the beast they will not be saved. God has told us that. But there are going to be many during that period who will turn to Christ and resist the mark of the beast.

There is no mention of a secret rapture in the Bible. Christ mentions the parable that one will be taken and the other left behind, but it is only a parable (parables are only symbolic and not meant to be taken literally). Do more reading on the coming of Christ. When Christ comes back, there won't be a third time, there won't be a another chance after that. Please don't disregard what I am saying but do more research for yourself and reading and ask the Holy Spirit to guide you. Check out this website

There they talk about revelation more in depth (remember the Bible says try every spirit to see if it is from God). You can read for yourself and then make your own judgment on what you think. God bless.

Matthew 24:21 speaks of the great tribulation and it says:
KJV
for then shall be great tribulation such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
and except those days shulod be shortened there should no flesh be saved but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
If the elect or chosen was raptured out then what differentce would it make how long it took? The tribulation is going on when the chosen ones are still on the earth.
Proverbs 2:21 for the upright shall dwell in the land, and the prefect shall remain in it.
But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.
so there again it is the wicked who is leaving the earth.

None will be left behind. Where is the source of your information? A fictional book by Tim Lahaye? There is no such thing as the rapture, your second chance is right now. Today is the day of salvation. Once Christ returns, that's it. Then it will be eternally too late to repent. Don't be deceived. Read your bible. God Bless

If I read the Bible correctly and if you study the book of Revelation then you will realize that most of the world will die during the Tribulation Period. And if you will read the last part Of 1st Thessolonians then you will see something that might shock you. While it is true that a few people will be saved during the Tribulation period it is also true that most will perish without God. 2nd thessolonians says that God will send them strong delusion that they might believe a lie.
I believe that the bible also teaches that if you have heard the Gospel and have not recieved the Gospel ( in other words, you are putting it off) at the time of the Lords coming then you will be Anathema Maranatha which means you will be acursed.
Friend do not think that you will be saved during the Tribulation. Most will not be. And if you will not come to Christ now when it is so easy, what makes you think that you will come to him then when it will be so very hard.
TODAY IS THE DAY OF SALVATION!!!!!!!!!

anyone with a rifle and ammunition can hunt for himself,no buying or selling.,plus the underground economy that exists everywhere. it will not be important to any resourceful person.Think and fight for yourself.wrestle alligators,if necessary, you only have to deal with the antichrist if you want his toys.

It won't happen, so don't worry about it. The rapture has zero scriptural support, so even if Christianity was right it wouldn't happen.
