Do a search and see all the data and articles and you will see that it could be this very year.

Christians leave and the rest say here. We each get to decide whether we go or stay.

Many don't believe the Bible or in God. This will be the ultimate test for the atheists. This is as good as it gets; atheists putting it all on the line, willing to die and chance going to hell forever.

Praise The Holy Of Holy:1Th 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:--The dead in Christ arose after Crucifiction ::Eze 37:13 And ye shall know that am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up, out of your graves,:Luk 20:37 Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.:::Mat 27:52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,
Mat 27:53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. :::
AND THE RAPTURE HAS TAKEN PLACE EVERYDAY SINCE!
2Co 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent the body, and to be present with the Lord.Praise the Holy of Holy:amen
As we die the soul passes to Christ without going to the grave thus the rapture has taken place every day !Praise The Lamb:Praise The Holy Of Holy :: Those that died before tribulation::Rev 6:11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. THEN THOSE THAT DIED DURING TRIBULATION!!Rev 7:14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Praise The Lamb:Amen
Holy, holy,holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.Praise the one who gives you peace beyond all understanding Yes that scripture still sounds good !

The rapture theory is a hoax. Tell me why the christians of today should be spared the tribulation when so many have suffered far worse lives, torture and persecution in the past 2k years. Read "Foxe's Book of Martyrs" and tell me if today's church is anything like the church in the first millennium. How do you compare in your faith?

I dont really believe in the tribulation, but if there is one, there is no way in hell the church will get a free pass.

Sorry kids.

Re: Many Christians think that the Rapture may happen this year; 2007. Either at Ascension Day (May 14, 2007) or at Feast of Trumpets (September 13, 2007
There will be a rapture, but not before the majority of Christians on the earth are martyred for their faith in Jesus. A previous poster posed an important question. Why should modern Christians be spared from suffering, especially from THE great tribulation? The answer is they shouldn't and will not be spared.

The bible is clear that death for the Christian is refuge in the Lord, so Christians shouldn't fear death itself.

It also says that not only has it been given to us to believe in Him (Jesus) but also to suffer for him.

It also says that the way to righteousness is narrow. The Greek word for narrow is Thlibo, which means:

to press (as grapes), press hard upon
a compressed way
narrow straitened, contracted
metaph. to trouble, afflict, distress

To further solidify this assertion, 1 Thessalonians 4:15 reads:

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.

Key phrase: Alive and remain unto the coming.....

The Greek word for remain is Perileipo, which means to SURVIVE.

Christians, at the time of Christ's return, will be surviving the obvious onslaught of the beast world system.

But take heart, Christ has overcome the world and He will strengthen us in that day.

Since Jesus gave Peter the keys to the Kingdom, that church which is the Catholic church, like it or not, for 1500 years it survived as the ONLY Christian church. It gave us the New Testament and the Liturgy of the Mass. In this Patriarch of all Christianity, to date is no teaching from Jesus or His chosen representatives on earth about any rapture. Only He lived, He died He rose and we live, maybe now through the tribulation, and we die and at the last judgement, we will rise again and be sent to heaven or hell.
Even amoung the protestant churches there generally is no reference to any rapture. It is NOT soundly in scripture as the above plan is referenced in many places in the old and new Testament, the so called rapture is taken from one out of context phrase in the new Testament and did not exsist as any revealed truth in any way. It is a recent device in the 1900s sent to mislead the faithfull.
There is no "deus ex machina" coming to allow only a few chosen to escape...we will all be here struggling with the devils of modern times, fighting for our salvation as was the revealed word of God forus to do.

I saw a bumper sticker that said "In Case Of Rapture, This Car Will Be Empty". How arrogant.
Well it seems so real I can see it
And it seems so real I can feel it
And it seems so real I can taste it
And it seems so real I can hear it
So why can't I touch it?

There will be no "rapture", only a SECOND COMING of Jesus, to STOP Armageddon from destroying the entire world.At that time we will be "caught up together with Him".

Christians WILL go through the tribulation period.

And because so many believe it, you can be 1000% sure it isn't going to happen.

When the end finally comes, only a remnant will be left who believe... and a remnant ain't much at all.

When the Death Angel passed through Egypt, it passed over the homes with the lambs blood on them. The Jewish people were told by God to apply the blood of a sacrificed lamb around the doors.

Everyone inside the home with the lambs blood on it was saved from the Death Angel. Now get this, not eveyone inside was perfect, holy, righteous, or pure. The blood covered them and made them worthy.

So it is with Christians, Christ's blood covers us and makes us worthy.

Concerning the Rapture, the ones covered by Christ's blood are worthy to arise when He calls. Made worthy by the Blood of the Lamb of God.

It comes down to this; are you covered or not. So simple that most will not get it or receive it.

This chance is yours now. Who are you trusting? You or God?

The chance of a life time is still available, will you take it or throw it away?

The number of Matt 24:24 deceived Christians is about 97%.

Christ Jesus was not crucified in accord with easter observation, rather HIS death is tied to PassOver which is a week or two earlier, maybe a month earlier.

The rapture lie appeases those who fear the Great Tribulation. These persons have no Relationship with HIM, so do not receive the Witness and Guidance of The Holy Spirit, otherwise they would Know HIS People are Delivered and Preserved against all evil. (John 17)

97% of all Christians have not made their Leap of Faith. They remain bound to Self, not abiding With The Father.

Have you given your life to God?
Can you trust HIM in all things?
Do you love HIM above all else?

Jesus Witnessed that only the very elect could not be deceived. The very elect have The Holy Spirit within. They Trust HIS Voice, and Know HIS Touch.
Nothing or anyone to fear.

Not even the angels in heaven will know ahead of time when it will be. Not even the Son until the Father gives the command. The time is totally a mystery and will remain that until the very second the Father gives the command. Those who try to put a date on it, are false prophets. Clear and simple. False prophets.

Yet those that support these false prophets will do everything possible to attempt a conterfiet "second coming" to con the unknowning and the aggorantly self righteous and self assured that it is happening now.

The tribulation has been here ever since Christ Jesus ascended into heaven. The Tribulation will only get worse and worse. The shit really hits the fan with the out pouring of the Wrath of God starts, and not before.

And there is not a thing at all that mankind can do to bring it or stop it. The same power that created the Universe is the power that will bring it to pass.

(emphasis mine) The only question is WHEN the trump sounds. Before Christ's "official" return (aka the rapture) or right before the 1,000 year reign?

 Quoting: Lester 230892



yes, and many will fall away when the tribulation comes.
read below for good inspiration for that 'one hour' coming soon. are you ready?
And they came to a place named Gethsemane; and He said to His disciples, "Sit here until I have prayed." And He took with Him Peter and James and John, and began to be very distressed and troubled. And He said to them, "My soul is deeply grieved to the point of death; remain here and keep watch." And He went a little beyond them, and fell to the ground, and began to pray that if it were possible, the hour might pass Him by. And He was saying, "Abba! Father! All things are possible for Thee; remove this cup from Me; yet not what I will, but what Thou wilt." And He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "Simon, are you asleep? Could you not keep watch for one hour? Keep watching and praying, that you may not come into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." And again He went away and prayed, saying the same words. And again He came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy; and they did not know what to answer Him. And He came the third time, and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? It is enough; the hour has come; behold, the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners. Arise, let us be going; behold, the one who betrays Me is at hand!"

And immediately while he was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, came up, accompanied by a multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.

No man knows the day or hour, but we should know the season.

This year could be the season; what day or hour, no man knows.

Ascension Day or Feast of Trumpets may be the timing, only God knows that.

This year is 40 years since the 1967 when the Jewish people got back Jerusalem and surrounding areas.

God said that the generation that saw these things come to pass will be the generation that see Him come back.

Matthew 24
1And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.

2And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

3And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

4And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

5For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

6And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

7For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

8All these are the beginning of sorrows.

9Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.

10And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

11And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

12And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

13But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

14And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

15When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

16Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:

17Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:

18Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.

19And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

20But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:


21For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.




22And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

23Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.

24For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

25Behold, I have told you before.

26Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.

27For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

28For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.




29Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:




30And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.




31And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

32Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:

33So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.

34Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

35Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

36But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

37But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

38For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

39And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

40Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

41Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

42Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

43But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.

44Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

45Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?

46Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

47Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.

48But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;

49And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;

50The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,

51And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

The rapture theory is a hoax. Tell me why the christians of today should be spared the tribulation when so many have suffered far worse lives, torture and persecution in the past 2k years. Read "Foxe's Book of Martyrs" and tell me if today's church is anything like the church in the first millennium. How do you compare in your faith?

I dont really believe in the tribulation, but if there is one, there is no way in hell the church will get a free pass.

Sorry kids.

Praise The Holy Of Holy :; Its easy to see why you don't understand the rapture, most Christians don't understand it!!No one gets out of this world without passing through the first death! If God required Jesus to go through it I can assure you that you all will also have to go through the first death! The rapture is the passing of the soul to Jesus's heaven[kingdom]!!Praise the Lamb: Amen

Wind-ed, have you been channeling someone else?!?



Oh, and by the way, at least two people got off this planet alive: Enoch and Elijah.
 Quoting: Sir_Chancealot

Praise the Holy Of Holy ::They will be back to finish! Praise The Lamb: Amen
Holy, holy,holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.Praise the one who gives you peace beyond all understanding Yes that scripture still sounds good !
