I spent the last ten or so years waiting for the Pre-Trib Rapture to happen. I surrounded myself with Prophecy teachers on YouTube, both actual church pastors and amateur theologians, with itching ears.
[3] Every time something big happens, these people often confidently proclaimed this was it. After fizzling out each time, they never spoke about it again and moved on to the next big controversy. This was my mistake and so I beg all of you to be extremely careful with what sermons you watch, especially those focused heavily on end times theology in politically charged ways.

No one knows the exact timing of when Jesus Christ will return.
[1] However, that will not stop people from claiming that Jesus Christ is returning or has returned already.
[2] Anyone claiming to have discovered the exact date or time frame of the rapture and/or second coming, they are automatically false prophets the Bible warns about.[1][2][5]

Rapture yes every one wants to escape.
Mat_3:7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
but as was asked
Luk 17:32 Remember Lot's wife.
Luk 17:33 Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.
Luk 17:34 I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
Luk 17:35 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Luk 17:36 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Luk 17:37 And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.
When people are taken by sharks they end up dead, just as Jesus said,
As it was in teh days of Noah, HE wasnt taken anywher, just put into an Ark and protected though the storm, just as Christ will do His.
Heb_11:7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
