Will all Christians be Raptured or is it a Partial?

There is no Rapture

Coming of the Lord

Sound of Trumpet

Ressurection of dead

Kingdom of God

Matthew 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not

since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

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 4:15 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. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

I Corinthians 15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all

sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling

of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the

dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For

this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on

immortality.

Revelation 11:15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great

voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the

kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever

and ever.

The trumpets blowing is synonomous with the coming of the Lord and

both are after the tribulation. Matthew 24 is Jesus speaking directly

and he said after the tribulation so I'll go with the Master.

Psalms 132:13 For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for

his habitation. 14 This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I

have desired it.

Luke 1:31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring

forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.

32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and

the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: 33

And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his

kingdom there shall be no end.

Zechariah 14:1 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall

be divided in the midst of thee. 4 And his feet shall stand in that

day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east,

and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the

east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and

half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it

toward the south. 5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains;

for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall

flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah

king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with

thee. 9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day

shall there be one LORD, and his name one.

Where did he get them saints from in Zecheriah, those are the same

ones that were caught up in the clouds and in the air coming back to

help rule this Earth. Where is David's throne, Jerusalem(Zion).

Peace in Jesus name.

Hello. It is important to know that The Rapture and The Second Coming of Christ are two, different

events. Yes, there will be a Rapture, a "taking away" of the true church, The Bride of Christ. This will take place before The Tribulation Period starts. The purpose of the Tribulation period (7 years) is not meant to

punish God's own church, but the non-believer. Can you see in the verses you quoted where Paul says, "comfort one another with these words" at v. 18? The comfort for Christians who will be raptured is knowing we will not be here for the Great Tribulation. Why would God pour out his wrath on His very bride, the faithful ones? It doesn't make sense. This is why The Rapture will happen prior to the 7 years of Tribulation. Many people confuse the two events. You quoted 1Thessalonians 4:15-17, which clearly shows that "the dead in Christ will rise first" (Christians who died and are buried)--in other words, the graves will open and they will be the first to meet Our Lord in the air ..note "in the air"--as Jesus does not descend upon the earth here yet. Paul then goes on to explain that Christians who are alive at this time of the Rapture will go up in the clouds next. In other words in seconds, first those who have died as believers (Christians) will meet the Lord in the air first, then those who are still living and breathing will be caught up next, all in a second..a "twinkling of an eye." Can you see what it says in the very verses you quoted? "We who are alive and remain shall be caught up (raptured) in the air to meet them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air, and so shall we ever be with the Lord." Briefly, the Tribulation will last 7 years, and the antichrist appears midway through the 7 years. The people on the earth will experience the worst events in human history. At the end of the 7 years, Christ AND His church (those who He raptured at the beginning of the Tribulation) will come back WITH Him.(And this is shown in Zechariah 14:5b. See..."and the saints with You," means those, the Bride of Christ, those who were raptured.) You have proper verses written for the Rapture. It is pretty clear, yet you think there will not be a rapture. Please re-think. For those "who look forward to His coming" will be raptured. Where you quote Matthew 24, this is The Second Coming of Christ. And I would like to add here that while the Great Tribulation is happening on earth, there will be activity in Heaven--The Marriage Supper and more. Please keep reading and studying. You will see it clearly. God bless you and all who are interested in this. My last comment: Yes, trumpets can mean the coming of the Lord, but the sounding of a trumpet does have other meanings.

There will be 7 trumpet judgements mentioned in The Book of Revelation. They do not mean that, for example, Jesus is coming 7 times. Thank you for reading my comment.

Pre-wrath Rapture, read 1st Thessalonians chapter 5, in context with the description of the rapture, Paul wrote that we are not appointed unto wrath. Noah and Lot were removed to safety just before wrath in their day. Noah's Ark rests 18 miles SSW of Mt. Ararat. to prove it.

Some Bible scholars say the Laodacian church, those that are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold will not be taken in the rapture. God promises to spew them out of His mouth. Read Dr. Harry Ironside on this subject and some other scholars for example. Jesus says He stands at the door and knocks.. this is the door to the church, as well as the individuals inside. The Laodacian's are saved, but apparently won't be part of the Bride of Christ. If this is the correct interpretation, apparently, those that died being lukewarm could also not be part of the Bride of Christ as well. The lukewarm in Christ will be left to deal with the horrors of the Great Tribulation.

A group of powerful World leaders, kings, queens, presidents, senators, congressmen, super wealthy and business leaders apparently have a PLAN to mark the entire world by 2017. With that date in mind as well as Bible signs pointing to Jesus' return and tribulation at our doorstep.. one should be seeking the Lord with all their heart or receive Him to be saved. There's an urgent need to do so. Now is the day of salvation. Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved.

Let us call it raised up, as the bible does. John 6:44. Raised up at

the last day, in the time of the end, is it about 150 years?

I go to prepare a place for you. John 14:3,6.

YOU, meaning the born again, 1Pet.1:15,16,23,25. John 3:5,6 to

be as angels, Luke 20:34-36. Anointed or given the comforter from

Pentecost, but to those remaining in the time of the end when the

word of God is in the whole world, and can be spread through it.

In the time of the end, is it a 150 year period of time? Rev.6:9-11;

Michael from here Dan.12:1-13, to here, Rev.12:3,4,6-12, in how

many years for the time of the end. Rev.9:1-5, Pit open for Satan

to here, Rev.20:1-6, how many years is the pit open for Satan?

Michael to here, 1Thes.4:15-17, when? to here, Rev.14:1-6,7; so

that Matt.25:31-34, is still happening.

How long is Rev.17:6,10-14, happening, all of the 8th that is of

the 7, is the time of the end, Satan is down all of the 8th that is

of the 7, Matt.24:3,7,14[15-24,36-38], is in all of the 8th that is

of the 7, how long has the KJV Bible been in the world, all of

the 8th that is of the 7? Rev.18:1-6, how long is this happening

in the time of the end?

Jesus said that this is how it will be at his return, Matthew 24;

40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

If we take this word to mean that half of those that call themselves belivers will be left behind, then we need to reevaluate our lives. Also look at the parable of the 10 vergins in Matthew 25:

25 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.

3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:

4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.

7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.

9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.

Again half were left behind but by the looks of things it may be less because it has been so long since Jesus first said I return quickly that many think it's not true, that they walk into sin. And those that love the world and the things of this world at His return will be left behind. So spritualy speaking where will yu be whe Jesus returns?

All the real ones will be ... not the pretenders.

Some people will wise up after that and give

their heart and loyalty to the Lord, but they

will have to be prepared to be martyred and

possibly beheaded for their newfound faith...

The scripture says a few others like that will

be gathered up after the "harvest" in what is

referred to as the "gleanings"... just like in a

field after the crop has been harvested, a few

leftover bits of grain may be collected.

They might arrive in heaven with their head

carried under their arm !!

Revelation 20:4

" . . . and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus,

and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his

image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands;

and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years."

Not all but those who listen to God. Those people end up being raptured,. The elect are gathered together by God and set in a place in Israel hidden from the great dragon and is like the book of Maccabees where Israel had to hide in the wilderness and Antiochus sent a army after them but they ended up dying by a bunch of hebrew.

No such thing as Rapture . If you make it through the Tribulation and see Jesus coming from the clouds you will probably appreciate his coming . But you would be here to grow for 1000 years so you will finally be able to handle his Father's much brighter presence , or else die the 2nd death . In Mat. 22:41-46 Jesus explains the need for his Father to come first , and set up His Kingdom on earth so the Elect wbe able to escape the Tribulation . Click on me for info of where .

Not all Christians. Just those that have overcome the world and believed EVERY Word in the Bible. They will be raptured and they will judge the rest of the world. This is what the Bible teaches

I'm a christian but I don't believe in this rapture business. It's a 20th century creation that caught on in Evangelical churches and is an idea that sold a lot of fiction books. There is no evidence of this phenomenon in the book of Revelation.
