My friend the rapture is before the anti christ, befor he takes over the WORLD. Who ever is raptured is safe/saved what ever is left must go thru tribulation.......it is an ugly story but it will be true. The people that r left will b tried/tested. Those that will be tested and accept the Lord during these times will be martyerd.........self sacrificed to the Lord. Those that accept the "chip" for buying/selling will be accepting the devil,,,,,there is no return from there. You cannot trick the devil! He is cunning/smart
Yes this is a harsh and powerful word but it is written in da Bible for the last 2000 years and EVERY THING HAS COME TO PASS!! THE BIBLE IS THE SUPERIOUR TRUTH!!

HUH?
but isn't rapture the second coming of Christ?
The thousand year reign?
So the implanted micro chip thingum is after that?
But isn't it already happening?
To certain US army peeps & to our pets?

Actualy I believe the Rapture is what it is called when those who are saved are called up into heaven. While the Second Comming is when Jesus actually comes down to Earth and defeats the Anti-Christ and establishes the Second Earth. Though some say they will happen at the same time.

Might be wrong though.

3Nails, Good Morning and God Bless. I have no idea if you are familiar with the book series "Left Behind" by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins. It is a series of 12 books which deals with the rapture and all of the events that will take place.

The first book..."Left Behind" does a fantastic job covering the events of the tribulation. Although it is considered "fiction" the writers have done a very good job in correlating the events with the Bible.

I have always had major issues in reading Revelation, but after reading these books, I was able to go back and read it and understand it.

I am not a big reader. But the first two books in the series, I read in less than two days. I think it took me just slightly over a month to finish the entire series. Give it a try, I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

If there's a difference of 12hrs in timezone,does it mean that we'll experience rapture over at my side first :P
If there is a Rapture, I think it would occur all at the same time, regardless of the timezone.

Agreed.

If Jesus comes in my lifetime I will be here waiting. If He comes after I depart this world then I will already be in that great army.

Fantastic question!

Thought about it alot myself, but can't figure out whether I'll be beamed up during the night or in the daytime! (Either way is fine by me!)

Maybe we'll be beamed up by the sunlight, so it will go from east to west, zapping people up! The unsaved'll be driving east really fast and praying faster.

JK, BTW.

-He will return like "BAM!"

-No man will know the hour or the day.

And all people will see His glory!

And every knee will bow and tongue confess that He is God!
