I really don't care about the fifth trumpet actually.I believe it applies to all christians not just the 144000. But even if It doesn't apply to all christians what better way will there be to die than to die as part of God showing his power to the world.My life is in the hands of god, and if he chooses to kill me by the fifth trupet Alleluia!!!!your brother in christ Ryan Fitz

Matthew 24:36 - But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
At the time Jesus said this, he didn't know, but since it is Jesus who opens the seals that begins the tribulation, he will know at this time. Also there's this verse to remember.....Amos 3:7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.

The Fifth Trumpet and First Woe--CE 1378-1528"And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit." Revelation 9:1 John Wycliff is the messenger that sounds forth here. Those who criticized the church were cast out or ostracized. Such was the experience of Wycliff. To his good fortune, in 1378 there was a Great Schism in the papal hierarchy with two popes each claiming to be the head of the church. Papacy had so much internal strife that Wycliff's dissent appeared as a small brush fire. Wycliffe's Trial before the Council Three papal bulls were issued before the Great Schism to deal with Wycliff’s alleged heresy. At Wycliff’s trial, two powerful princes accompanied him, preventing the execution of the judgments against Wycliff. We see how God intervened to prevent papacy from destroying Wycliff before his work was accomplished. The "key of the bottomless pit" represents the authority to unloose the truths being restrained by Satan. It is interesting to note how the devil succeeded in locking the Divine truths in the "bottomless pit" for a season, yet in the appointed time Satan himself will be locked in the "bottomless pit" along with his lies and deceptions. This is poetic justice in its finest form. We submit Revelation 9:2-11 as it is presented in the "Interpreted Rendering of Revelation" with some additions and variation. This will provide immediate explanations of the highly symbolic language. "And he [Wycliff] opened the bottomless pit [released suppressed and dormant biblical truths]; and there arose a smoke out of the pit [evidences that truths had been suppressed], as the smoke of a great furnace [this evidence was very pronounced]; and the sun [the Gospel according to the creedal teachings] and the air [influence of the evil spirits] were darkened [diminished] by reason of the smoke of the pit [evidence that truths had been restrained and suppressed in this dormant condition]." Revelation 9:2 "And there came out of this smoke [evidence] locusts [truths which had been suppressed and restrained] upon the earth [stable society]; and unto them [the locusts or truths themselves which appeared unto society] was given power, as the scorpions [schools--the sting of a scorpion, is very painful but generally not fatal] of the earth [society] have power [through teaching and education, bringing extreme discomfort and a desire for conversion which could not then be realized]." Revelation 9:3 LOCUSTS SCORPION Wycliff's followers were known as "Lollards," who were represented by locusts with stinging scorpion tails in Revelation 9:3. Wycliff engaged "poor" priests to teach his doctrines to the people. The ministry of Wycliff and his followers, along with the English New Testament, brought truths to light that were painful. This work was embraced by the Lollards who continued to speak the truths Wycliff had made known. "And it was commanded them [these truths were directed] that they should not hurt [bring pain to] the grass [common people] of the earth [society]; neither any green thing [with spiritual vitality], neither any tree [prominent people]; but only those men [professed Christians] which have not the seal [enlightenment] of God [the holy Spirit of God] in their foreheads [intellects]." Revelation 9:4 "And to them [these locust truths] it was given that they should not kill them [or convert them], but that they should be tormented [troubled] five months [one hundred and fifty years from 1378 to 1528]; and their torment [trouble] was as the torment of a scorpion [teaching and education], when he striketh a man [causing pain because others saw through their errors and practices. A scorpion has two glands that supply his tail stinger. This could picture the teachings from the Old and New Testament]." Revelation 9:5 Page from Wycliff's Bible Wycliff's Bible "And in those days shall men [those without the enlightenment of the holy spirit] seek death [a change or conversion from their position], and could not find it; and shall desire to die [be converted] and death [conversion] shall flee from them [the reforms were uncertain of being carried out for no one knew if reforms would be sustained or perish]." Revelation 9:6 "And the shapes of the locusts [truths] were like unto horses [doctrines] prepared unto to battle [combat or debate with error]; and on their heads [the priests of these truths] were as it were crowns like gold [with divine authority], and their faces [appearance of these truth bearers] were as the faces of men [Christians]." Revelation 9:7 "And they [the locust truths] had hair [justification] as the hair of women [an ample covering], and their teeth [rending criticisms] as the teeth of lions [of divine justice]." Revelation 9:8 "And they [the locust truths] had breastplates [righteousness], as it were breastplates [righteousness] of iron [which are impregnable]; and the sound of their wings [messages Scripturally supported by the wings of the Old and New Testaments, wings of an eagle] was as the sound of chariots [the message of organizations] of many horses [doctrines] running to battle [prepared for controversy]." Revelation 9:9Wycliff before the Council "And they [the locust truths] had tails [teachings] like unto scorpions [were sponsored by teachers who were like scorpions who inflict painful irritations], and there were stings [painful irritations] in their tails [caused by these teachers]: and their power [ministry] was to hurt [afflict those men in the church who had not the enlightenment of the holy Spirit] five months [one hundred and fifty years of a very shaky reform and uncertain survival]." Revelation 9:10 "And they had a king [these truths had a king, the Bible] over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit [the messenger of restraint and suppression to the unenlightened], whose name [king, Bible truths are destructive to entrenched errors] in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon [Destroyer], but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon [Destroyer]." Revelation 9:11 "One woe [the fifth trumpet] is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter [by reason of the two remaining trumpet messages]." Revelation 9:12

Like unorthodox I believe he's right. We are not guaranteed to be delivered with a pre-disaster rapture. Christ said to expect persecution not expect rapture deliverance. We must prepare for anything I think this kind of thinking can be dangerous if we find out till after the 144,000 raptured souls when pre-wrath during the tribulation. We are saved from God's Wrath but not his judgement. Remember judgement starts with the House of God so I think a tribulation will certainly sift the fake faith from the strong in faith and it is promised though that Satan will wage war on the saints that can only mean we are still here. So expect death but overcome it expect persecution but overcome it and when all these things happen THEN we can lift our heads to heaven and expect the Lord's Return.

I am firm believer in the Pre-Tribulation rapture. I have read some good points trying to dissprove the rapture and some good ones proving it. This board already has an argument against it so I will provide a few links to great arguments for it. And earlier Jag you mentioned that the bible never say's the word "rapture" therefore its not true but that is not a sustainable argument in any case. There are alot of words we covet never said in the bible, like the word "bible" for instance!Any way here are the links and I hope you really read these and go into them with an open mind otherwise don't bother reading them at all!http://www.raptureready.com/rap100.htmlhttp://www.raptureready.com/rr-pre-trib-rapture.htmlhttp://www.raptureready.com/rr-pretribulation-rapture.htmlhttp://www.raptureready.com/rr-imminency.htmlhttp://www.raptureready.com/rr-suckers-bet.html(This is for anyone who likes to argue against the rapture)http://www.raptureready.com/rr-margaret-mcdonald.html(this is about a common argument against the rapture)http://www.raptureready.com/rr-think-not.html(this is just proof that the end-times are nearing)Again I want to stress my point, if your going to look at these links and I hope you will! Please, really read them! Keep an open mind and don't go into this already decided that you are NEVER going to believe in the rapture, I'm sure a few of you will anyway but I beg you not to!! This guy makes great points and they are backed up with scripture! After reading through this I couldn't help but believe in the rapture.

And I couldn't help myself to believe in the Truth in God's Words as we only have one chance in life. There is no Pre-Tribulation rapture, nor a Mid-Tribulation Rapture, nor a Post-Tribulation Rapture.Matthew 24:29-30 - Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.John 14:18, John 16:33 - I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. ... These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.JagLovest thou in Christ Yahshua, Lord and Saviour of the world.
