How soon do you think it will happen, or do you think it is to far off to even think about it?

I am sure it will happen sooner or later.
I think it will happen sooner than expected, but later than I would like.

>> Do you feal like the rapture will happen sooner or later?
Depends upon what rapture you're talking about. If you're referring to the so-called "Secret Rapture" then I have to inform you that there isn't any such thing.
What About the Secret Rapture?

If, on the other hand, you're referring to these verses in the Bible:
1Thes. 4:15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
1Thes. 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
1Thes. 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
1Thes. 4:18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
Then I'll say that I believe we are getting very close to the beginning of those end-time events which are referred to as the Great Tribulation:

There is no Biblical basis, no verse whatsover to support a pre-tribulation rapture. Pre-trib rapture I'm afraid is part of tradition rather than actual Biblical fact. Return of Christ, post-tribulation rapture, yes.

Yes. It will definitely happen sooner or later, but it might not look the way you expect it to look. Did God tell us that we would be able to predict the time of Jesus' second coming? I thought he told us we would not know, in fact, didn't Jesus say that even he didn't know? Hmmm... Do you think there are people who actually know?

I feel like the rupture will happen sooner or later if I don't learn to lift with my knees.

I can only hope that you some day begin thinking for yourself. Don't buy into the delusion. Use your exuberance for good in your life instead of wasting it worrying about something that is not going to happen.

It will happen, only God knows when. It's better to be ready and disappointed, than caught off guard, and face tumultuous events.
Keep the Faith!
