I don't know if you all visit other forums,but if you do I could use some help at this one,concerning the rapture,Im doing pretty good on my own but some help would be welcomed.Here is an example of one I responded toWhat makes you think everyone that believes in the rapture is wrong and you are right? When the rapture occurs there want be any hey look that must be Jesus, no deception because the Lord will take us out of this world. If someone comes and proclaims himself as Christ I want believe it because Christ will not be coming back till he is ready to take the Body of Christ home. When Christ comes there want be a choice either you go with him if you are a believer in Christ, or you are left behind if you are not!. Seems you think you have all knowledge. 1 Corinthians 1551 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all ° sleep(Physical Death), but we shall all be changed,52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.1 Thessalonian 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.1 Thess 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:1 Thess 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.1 Thess 4:18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.caught up=HARPAZO=Rapture]1 Thess 1:10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.1 Thess 2:19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?1 Thess 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,1 Thess 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Luke 21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.[Revelation 4:1] After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.Matthew 24:40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.Matthew 24:41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.Luke 17:33 Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.Luke 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.Luke 17:35 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.Luke 17:36 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 2 Thess 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, [rapture]2 Thess 2:2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ [day of the Lord/tribulation] is at hand [present].2 Thess 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day [tribulation] shall not come [be present], except there come a falling away [departure/rapture] first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;2 Thess 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.2 Thess 2:5 Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you this?2 Thess 2:6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.2 Thess 2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. [the Church at the rapture]2 Thess 2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:In other words,1. I beg you by our rapture hope,2. That you don't worry if you hear that the Day of the Lord and the tribulation is present3. (Don't be deceived) ...unless the departure (rapture) comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition4. WHO will, (3.5 years later according to Dan 9:27) sit in the temple as God, as the abomination of desolation5. Remember I told you this?6. Now you know that it is your presence that withholds the man of sin, so that he will be revealed in due time.7. For the antichrist is working now only a little, because we restrain him as we are here and pray, until the rapture, when we will be taken out of the way.8. And then the antichrist will be revealed, whom the Lord will destroy with the arrival of his presence.2Thess 3:3 But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evilIf any would come that would be great if not,I think I can handle it and thanks anywayHere is the sitehttp://74.220.207.90/~trusting/forums/index.php

n2 dont forget this one Ezekiel 13:20 Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against your pillows,wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make them fly,and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to make them fly. Your best bet is make them show you where in scripture it says anything about rapture they will of course tell you 1Thess. but as you know 2nd thess says that the church in thess misunderstood Paul and when he heard what they were he sent the letter of 2 thess correcting them.PS that verse in ez is from companion bible other bibles say it a little different
