There is enough scripture to support the rapture such as 1 thess4, 1 cor 15, john 14, and others. The timing is not as easy to figure. It requires wisdom, prayer, research, and an open mind. And even still, you might not figure it out. I have changed my thinking several times on this subject. Today I believe the rapture is occurring right after the 6th seal is opened and is described in rev 7 very completely. For your benefit, I do place this BEFORE Daniels 70th week week begins and before a peace treaty which I believe will occur after the ezekiel 38-39 war in which our God will kick some major booty that will cause such alarm, and ultimately usher in the antichrist to quiet things down. I can give you more but that is all the time I have for now. Got to go to work. Later. Spock out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spock out I go with the time line Jesus left us with in the three gospels, and when He said He will gather the elect, considering He is the Son of God I'm guessing He will be a bit more reliable than bible teachers of the last 100 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
