Many Churches and Denominations believe the Rapture will take place at a different time in the Future. Here are a few of those beliefs. Pre-Trib, Mid-Trib and Post-Trib.
Allow the Holy Spirit to teach you to have the correct Mindset and you will find the rapture in the Scriptures.
Although I do Not know the exact date of the Rapture or Catching Away of the Church I do know how to have the correct mindset and can estimate the Timing of the Rapture.
The Rapture Doctrine Taught By The Holy Spirit
The Bible tells us that God alone is the supreme Judge, He decides when a person lives or dies. Psalms 50:6 …for God Himself is Judge.
1st. The correct Rapture Doctrine [Pre Trib, Mid Trib, or Post Trib], can not teach or promote Pride and Self Righteousness.
Why? God will not allow anyone to be Prideful and righteous in their own eyes. God resist the Prideful. If God allows this He condemns Himself. God is the perfect Judge.
Job 40;8 Wilt thou also disannul My judgment? Wilt thou condemn Me, that thou mayest be righteous? James 4:6 God resist the proud…
2nd The correct Rapture Doctrine [Pre Trib, Mid Trib or Post Trib], would have to be the same as what Jesus, (The Word Of God) and The Holy Spirit taught us about it.
Will Christians Suffer Persecutions during the Tribulation? Both Jesus and The Holy Spirit Teach Us this following Doctrine.
2 Timothy 3:12 Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.
John 15:19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. 20. Remember the word that I said to you, A servant is not greater than his master. If they persecute Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also.
3rd. The correct Rapture Doctrine [Pre Trib, Mid Trib, or Post Trib] would have to be the same as what is written in the Holy Bible.
Here are just a few of the places the rapture is mentioned in the Holy Bible.
Psalm 60:1-6 Notice these verses mention Christians will suffer then experience the rapture. Now notice in verse 5 the Rapture happens after Christian’s suffer. (5).That Your beloved may be delivered,…
In Daniel 12:1-3 Notice Christian’s first suffer persecution then experience the Rapture.
(1)…And there shall be a time of trouble,
Such as never was since there was a nation,
Even to that time.
And at that time your people shall be delivered,
Every one who is found written in the book.
2 And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake,
Some to everlasting life,
Some to shame and everlasting a]”>[a]contempt.
3 Those who are wise shall shine
Like the brightness of the firmament,
And those who turn many to righteousness
Like the stars forever and ever.
In Ezekiel 37:9-14 Notice once again Christian suffer persecution then experience the Rapture. (Things to meditate upon). 9. …Come from the four winds, Oh Breath, and Breath on these Slain, That they may live. (Christian’s Martyred and killed.) (Also notice The Phrase “Cut Off”) God uses this Phrase when He is upset with His people. Many of His people fall away with idols while a Few Righteous Remnant refuse to serve Idols), 11…our hope is lost and we ourselves are cut off!
12 Therefore prophesy and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Behold, O My people, I will open your graves and cause you to come up from your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.
In Matthew 24:29-31
and Mark 13:24-27 Jesus teaches us Christian’s will suffer Great Persecution during the Tribulation then He returns and the Rapture Happens.
4th. The correct Rapture Doctrine [Pre Trib, Mid Trib, or Post Trib] would have to be of Sound Doctrine.
In Other Words , The Past Pattern of God’s Judgements Is a “Model” Of what will happen Next. God is the same Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow. He does not ever change,
God will call to His people when they fall away with Idols and Distractions, He will Call for a Time Of Repentance,. When His people refuse to hear Him, He will “Cut Off” and Draw a Line telling His people to make their choice. His sword or war will start and many people will die. He will save a righteous remnant to tell other people why these things happened. These witnesses will teach others.
John 17:15-20 Notice when Jesus Prays for His people, He prays, Do Not take them out of this world but keep them here for a witness to others so they might believe.
15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
The Timing Of The Rapture Revealed In Scripture.
Now that The Holy Spirit has taught us to have the correct mindset, Here is The Timing of the Rapture Found In Scripture. Allow me to set up the scene and catch everyone up to speed .
God has been calling for for a Time Of Repentance with His Obvious Signs, (Drought, Famine, Pestilence – COVID ) and Now His sword or World Wide War (WWW3} will start.
Many People will die from the war as well as alot of other Global Events, Then Christians will experience the Rapture as Fire Balls Rain Down upon the Unrepentant Wicked People of this world.
Revelation 18:21-24 Notice Bride and Bridegroom Heard No More. and Revelation 19:1-3 Multitudes of People In Heaven
Rev 18:21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;
23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
In Closing. God is the Judge. He will Not Condemn Himself Just so we can be Saved or Righteous in our own eyes. God is long-suffering not wanting any one to perish. Remember These souls could be your future Brother or Sister in Christ Jesus.
