hi there so true OneLight! we should be pepared at any time to meet the Lord either in death or the rapture! AMEN!

1. He died for our sins so we may meet and be with Him in eternity 2.Always and without fail He is true to His Word 3. Unfortunately we do limit Him by our own desires and will. 4.yes I have let Him out of my box and everyone knows it!

My husband won't even get into a discussion about whether there is going to be a rapture. He says that if there is a rapture, fine. If not, fine. On the other hand, I hope the Church or the Body of Christ will be divinely protected during the Tribulation as the Jews were protected in Egypt during the Ten Plagues. Why should God pour out his wrath on his own children; children who have turned from their wicked ways and have accepted Jesus as their Saviour. The Tribulation is a time of God's wrath on those who have rejected Christ and have destroyed the earth. But I have to say I'm in the same boat as my husband is. If the rapture happens before the Tribulation, during or even after, fine. Whatever. Well the wrath of God is the destruction of the wicked by fire which occurs at the post trib 2nd coming, and we will be rapture b4 that as Christ is returning. The tribulation is a product of evil men growing worse and worse deceiving and being deceived. God will indeed protect us through this time of trouble if we hear is voice and go to our place of protection. If not we will starve and be subject to the wrath of evil men and satan (not God's wrath but mans and satans) Just like if Elijah would have not went to the brook where he had water and where the Ravens fed him he would have starved. We must to go to where God leads us during the tribulation, to where our provision is. There will be a rapture, but it is at the posttrib 2nd coming of Christ, not b4 the tribulation That is your take, not many would agree. I am not to concerned with popular opinion, just the truth of scripture. Then you are saying that many who disagree with you are refuting scripture? Come now! if you knew scripture, you would know that this area is ambiguous at best! You very well could be totally wrong about it, so being dogmatic regarding eschatology is useless, and so popular opinion among believers has importance, as the Holy Spirit leads us to our understanding. Hi all; I firmly believe there will be a rapture for all those who are Jesus;s followers 1 Thesaloniams clearly states that. I was raised a Catholic and before would have had no idea what that was but now as a born-again christian I hold fast to that promise of my Lord and Savior Jesus I do not want to be hear wwhen the trib starts! mary ann

Amen t that Another Traveller! something I strive and look forward too each and everyday! mary ann "Kep your eyes on the Heavens~!"

to the guest; hello and welcome! Only a relationship with Jesus can convince He is real I was raised a Catholic and did alot of the things you talked about 31 yrs later I accepted Jesus in my heart and He is very much alive to me! Get into His Word pray and worship andf The Lord will become real to you! it is a long road and you are just beginning but it is a road well worth the travel!
