The Rapture and the end of the Church Age.

Malevolence is waiting on their Mothership…:)

The only malevolence that I see seems to be coming from you.

Where does Jesus talk about any followers of "the Way" who will be rescued from Tribulation?

He doesn't.

Skip to 15:37 for the discussion.

Matthew 24

29 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:
30 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.
31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other*.

1 Thessalonians 4

14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
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.
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:
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.

Oh great, now we are supposed to watch You Tube videos rather than finding out the truth from the bible!

The rapture is real. Too bad so many can’t understand what the Bible says about it.

Keep believing believers. We are on the right path. The unbelievers will
figure it out eventually. One day all will
Confess that Jesus is Lord. And every knee will bow.

I believe the rapture is soon. Please open your hearts and accept Jesus as your Savior while you still can.

The entire rapture notion is antithetical to traditional Christian theology. While proponents claim the rapture is based on a literal interpretation of the Bible, they employ a highly selective pick-and-choose literalism. This theology was invented a little over 200 years ago, but it has gained prominence in American culture through televangelists and radio preachers. Rapture theology raises questions about the Bible’s view of prophecy, violence and even Middle East policy. This theology should be challenged and replaced with a more biblical understanding of Christian hope for the future of the world and of Jesus’ coming again.

The notion of the rapture, or a sudden snatching of Christians up into the air, was invented in the 1830s by British preacher John Nelson Darby, founder of the Plymouth Brethren. Darby took the traditional understanding of Jesus’ second coming and divided it into two parts: first the so-called rapture, when he said Jesus would hover above the earth and snatch born-again Christians up to heaven for seven years. Then, according to Darby, after the rapture God would inflict seven years of tribulation upon the earth while Christians watch from heaven.

At the end of that seven-year period of death and destruction, rapture proponents believe Jesus will return to earth again for the third time to fight the battle of Armageddon and set up an earthly kingdom.

Proponents come up with their rapture chronology by cobbling together a reference in the Latin translation of Paul’s first letter to the Thessalonians, with three verses in Daniel and a verse from Revelation.

Such pieced-together timelines aren’t biblical. The New Testament describes Jesus’ coming in a great variety of ways. Some biblical texts focus on heaven, some on earth. Some verses focus on judgment and others on salvation.

Time will tell.

God protected Noah and his family.

God protected Lot before he destroyed sodom.

I believe He will do the same again.

We will all find out one day. The end of this age is coming soon.

Most important thing to do at this point is to get right with Jesus.

Where does Jesus tell ANYONE that they will NOT see tribulation?

He doesn't.

Paul didn't get "special teachings" that the other Apostles did. He went to Jerusalem and met with the others BEFORE taking his trips - AND writing his letters.

Jesus told the other Apostles to "go and teach the kingdom of the gospel to ALL the world".

Not just the Jevvs.

Thomas supposedly went to India.
Matthew went as far as Ethopia & Libya.

judethz hasnt fulfilled the initiation for rapture



"Sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor, GO INTO THE STREETS PROCLAIMING THE KINGDOM IS HERE.



Luke 9:3
Take nothing for the journey--no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, no extra shirt.
Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that town."If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters--yes, even their own life--such a person is not worthy of me

HERES THE MARK IDENTIFYING CHRISTIANS

Acts 4:32
All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had.



Menno Simons (1496 – 31 January 1561) was a former Roman Catholic priest from the Friesland region of the Low Countries who became an influential Anabaptist religious leader. Simons was a contemporary of the Protestant Reformers and it is from his name that his followers became known as Mennonites.
