I've been hearing about the Rapture happening for the past 50 years now.

But make no mistake about how I wrote the first sentence because during those 50 years the Signs about being in the Days of Noah-Lot-Elijah, the War describing Psalms 82 and Ezekiel 37-39, the Dispensation of when the Elect could be Deceived within the Days of Laodecia neither Hot nor Cold but Lukewarm, the obvious changes in the weather and Seasons, the description of the "Last Generations" had been non-existent.

But as of right now ALL of those Signs are very prevalent and in play.

Clearly, without hesitation I believe the Rapture could take place before I hit the send button for this post to be posted.

We are definitely there, in those Days we read from Daniel, Matthew, Luke, Thessalonians, Jude, Revelation, the Minor Prophets right now this very moment.

The Beast System is set-up, Nations are going Cashless and using RFID Chips like credit cards, bank cards, identification cards, log in/out time clock cards. The Central Bank is now online with Every Nation having accounts.

Israel is in War and involved in this new Peace Treaty discussion.

Just many Biblical Prophecies are both being fulfilled and about to be fulfilled.

We are definitely here.

Because our real blessed hope of resurrection is quiety replaced with this rapture. It is strange that resurrection message and rapture message are back to back, 1 Thess. 4:16-17, you only hear 4:17 and very rarely 4:16.

I'm always the odd ball here but will share my thoughts with you/ The weekend Christ was crucified there was a resurrection but no rapture. As a pre-trib believer I see a rapture but no resurrection of the dead in Christ.

Now at the Reaping of the earth I see a resurrection and a rapture as stated in 1 Thess 4 beginning at scriptures Rev. 14:14 inside the Tribulation.

and no resurrection or rapture when Christ returns at end of the Tribulation

We will have to disagree because the sheep/goat judgement decides who enters the millenium with flesh and blood to repopulate the earth.

At Rev 14:14 ends all the righteous are taken by faith while works begin. The day of the Lord begins the Day of the Lord for a thousand years at Rev 14:14.
 
The survivors of the Tribulation

16 Then the survivors from all the nations that have attacked Jerusalem will go up year after year to worship the King, the Lord Almighty, and to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles. 17 If any of the peoples of the earth do not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord Almighty, they will have no rain. 18 If the Egyptian people do not go up and take part, they will have no rain. The Lord[b] will bring on them the plague he inflicts on the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles. 19 This will be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles.

That judgement is scheduled AFTER his coming, not anytime before. This judgement is set on the Day of Atonement, where one is offered for the Lord and the other is cast into utter darkness. In whatever way you define "rapture", the resurrection must precedes it per 1 Thess. 4:16.

Then Aaron shall cast lots for the two goats: one lot for the Lord and the other lot for the scapegoat. And Aaron shall bring the goat on which the Lord’s lot fell, and offer it as a sin offering. But the goat on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat shall be presented alive before the Lord, to make atonement upon it, and to let it go as the scapegoat into the wilderness. (Lev. 16:8-10)

When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him ... (Matt. 25:31)

Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war ... And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. (Rev. 19:11-14)

It's like saying 1/3 of the NT is Jesus wasting his breath.

Every topic on the board has been talked through.
 
Thought I would tackle Blain's question in Post 1.

Lord gave us 6 days to work which means 6000 years with a 1000 year millennial reign by Christ being first known thru creation.

So, just where we in time from creation??

The best scripture to hint is Malachi 4:5


But for you who fear my name the sun of righteousness shall rise, with healing in its wings. You shall go forth leaping like calves from the stall.

Two things to note here is the Lord is compared to the sun and denotes a resurrection.

Weekend the Lord was crucified there was a resurrection and when a new born calf is born he frolics around happy to be born. Think the resurrection will be the same for us!

Usage of the word sun is very telling as it denotes the coming of the Lord after 4000 years, Just like creation the sun was made on the 4th day!

And that leaves 2000 years to our present generation
