Constantly afraid there will be a big "die-off", when God calls many home (Lord help?)

Hi there,

So I have been wondering for some time what happens in the lead up to the tribulation and one thing I cannot account for is the notion of the Rapture - which I think may mean that a lot of people on Earth (of all faiths, meaning everyone) will "be called home" (die). It's something I can't shake! I keep trying to predict when it will happen. What I realized is: I'm not taking it to the Lord!

If the people of the World die, the Lord will die with them - that's what I've come to realise. It not so important whether people live or die, but that they focus on the Lord. We should be praying about this, actually - if the Lord places the burden on our heart.

What I don't understand is: what is the shock, this is supposed to cause? What is it for?

My questions will be answered in Heaven, but I hope a little advance warning wouldn't be too much either!
