The Rapture is the evacuation of believers before the great judgment of the Tribulation hour. It is a meeting in the heavenlies and not Christ's return to the earth. Since His first coming was to earth, His second coming must also be to earth. The Rapture, then, is not a coming to earth, but a meeting in the clouds. Seven years later we return with Him, and all the signs point to this coming when He returns to earth.

op: don't get "left behind" by NOT watching for Jesus?
No, All [faithful & UNfaithful] "members Of Christ" Will Go,
Because All of them "Have To Be At The Bema Judgment Seat
Of Christ," some (Many?) NOT "receiving rewards," though saved!:

Great GRACE Departure readiness plea!

Those "believers" that are not looking for the rapture will be left behind and must try to live under anti-Christ rule until Jesus returns to earth to defeat all evil and set up His 1000 year kingdom here..

One day individuals will die and be translated into the Heavenly Realm.

Death is the reality here of the topic: To continue in faith loving God and loving others, when you die you are are going to be resurrected into the heavenly Realm - (sorry I dont believe this is going to happen but on an individual death ) - and are judged for the good and evil we done; ultimately it is our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ that he had done everything for all the world which makes us right with God.

doctrine of the Rapture? Simply put, it is the teaching that Jesus Christ will return and take all Christians, both living and dead, off of Earth and into Heaven to be present there during the time that the Great Tribulation is taking place on earth. Seven years later Christ will return openly in power and glory to destroy the wicked and to establish His Kingdom.

Please Clarify - do you mean "professing believers" who are not saved?:

Yes, agree, Christ takes All believing Christians, same as pointed out in post #25.

Now, some "true believers" may be snoozing in their Grace walk, "not expecting
Him At Any Moment," never-the-less, they must be "taken to Judgment In
Heaven, with the faithful," who are watching, looking, and Patiently waiting
For All true believers' Blessed Hope! Amen?

Please Be Very RICHLY Encouraged And Edified In:

The LORD JESUS CHRIST, And In His Word Of Truth, Rightly Divided!

GRACE And Peace...

Hebrews 9:28
28 so also Christ was offered once for all time as a sacrifice to take away the sins of many people. He will come again, not to deal with our sins, but to bring salvation to all who are eagerly waiting for him.
The New Testament teaches the imminency of the Lord’s return, and that means that Christ could return at any moment.
This is a Pre-Trib view of course. But the key to His coming is the correct interpretation and identification if the "last trumpet". Pre-Tribbers frankly distort the meaning. I believe the last trumpet is #7, in Rev. 11:15. Kits happen at that time, rewards ate given, Heaven opens up, Jesus is given the world (all nations). Nut then it is not over yet, The Bowls of God's wrath are released at that time, which means the Post -tribbers got it wrong too.
That said, we are close and I think the Four Horsemen have already been released. I think the First Horseman brought Covid-19... "He was given a crown (coronavirus and a bow and he went out yo conquer the world. In no other time in history has the entire planet been subject to control, lockdown, fueled by fear and lies.
So what's next? Well if what I am saying is true, WARS, FAMINE AND MORE DEATH.
Famine is predicted due to massive food shortages and we will start seeing this throughout the world by the end of the summer.,Something big is coming before Election day. Why? They elites behind the,New World Order/ The Great Reset will not allow Relublicans to take I've the Congress in the USA. A fair election would result in a Rebublican landslide. So they will try to prevent that by something big that prevents a fair electui at the polls and fraudulently stealing it as they did 2 years ago. Another virus released causing lockdowns, an EMP blamed on Russia or war that ushers us into Martial Law ... who knows?
So, lets say that Covid 19's first victim happened on Oct. 27, 2019 (A few days earlier than an official estimate made around the beginning of November 2019). Add 1260 days to that and you get April 9, 2023, Easter Sunday.

There is no rapture in scripture
What do think the resurrection is?
"For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. 1 Thes. 4:16-17

"in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”
“O Death, where is your sting?
O Hades, where is your victory?”
1 Cor. 15:52-55

Not if the "last Trump (Voice Of God)" Ends The Current Dispensation Of
GRACE, even As The "First Trump" Opened It (Acts 9:4), in God's Revelation
Of The Mystery To Paul, Revealing His "Secret Coming" For The Body Of Christ
(Romans Through Philemon). And:

Rightly Divided (2 Timothy 2:15) From “Things That Differ” (online)

God's Other Context Of "prophecy/law" teaching His Second "Public Coming"
To Save Israel and Judge the nations. (Daniel, Matthew, and Revelation)

Question: If this Context is your belief, then which of these
"trumpets is the last"?

a) the "Seventh trumpet of an angel" (Rev 11:15)?

b) this Other "trumpet sounded And Christ
sending His angels to gather Israel" (Mat 24:31)?​

GRACE And Peace...

the last trump is the end not taking of the church

Jesus had resurrection and ascension but not a rapture

No worries!! those not looking for the rapture will be left behind!!

Scripture says we remain till the second coming

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 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. ...

the rapture is a false doctrine invented in the 1800’s in the “burned over district”!

RE-read the scripture you just posted again!! Jesus will bring with Him those that were dead and those caught up to meet Him in the clouds .
