You're misinterpreting them. The escape is clearly written even in the OT. Don't you ever ask God? I did and He answered me. The answer is yes, there surely is a rapture. I know what I am watching for. People like me who watch do that because we are commanded to watch. We do that because he told us to and we love his appearing. What are you watching for? You anti-escape people are just like athiests, you angrily try to prove we should be hopeless and throw away the truth. They are fast tracking the mark of the beast. You can't escape that or survive it. There would be no bride of Christ or 144000 left to do that job. Don't believe me, get your own answer.
