    A question about the rapture

    "No, because the messages to the churches are separate from the heavenly scene. Failure to see a distinction will always result in improper understanding. When you realize Ch.5 is a past event when Christ entered heaven and John witnessing it, everything else will open up. But you don’t, and...
