Doubting Thomas. How is that you can't recognize the times!!!??? When Jesus comes, you'll be left standing still.
The gathering of the Church on earth to Jesus is at His 2nd coming, after the tribulation like He said in Matthew 24, NOT before the tribulation. The pre-trib rapture theory is a theory of man, not Biblical.
The first ones 'taken' in Jesus' mention of those towards the end of Luke 17 are gathered as dead carcases, not gathered to Jesus...
Luke 17:35-37
35 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
36 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
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."
KJV
Matt 24:28
28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
KJV
So you want to be the first one 'taken'??? You are setup as BAIT by believing on the pre-trib rapture theory from men. Why not come into God's Holy Writ and listen to Him instead?
Just think of it. Those you listen to, telling you you'll be raptured prior to the tribulation, intentionally turn that Luke 17 Scripture about the first ones 'taken' totally upside down, treating it just the opposite of what our Lord Jesus answered when His disciples asked where those would be taken to. It's evidence those telling you to want to be in that group of first ones 'taken' that they are charlatans, deceivers, and that they have been overcome by Satan's host. Listen to Jesus, not to them.
