The Rapture (the “snatching away” of the Christ-followers to meet the Lord Jesus Christ in the air*) could happen at any moment! There are no Biblical prophecies about when the rapture of the Church occurs, except that it happens after “the falling away” (of the ‘Woke’ Church, perhaps?) and before the Antichrist signs the 7-year peace treaty with Israel to start the Tribulation*.
The Rapture of the Church removes the Holy Spirit (in the Christians) from this world. Then the Lawless One, the Son of Perdition, the Man of Sin, is turned loose to conquer the whole world and install himself as god. There would then be NO MORE HOPE OR PEACE until the Great Tribulation is ended by Christ’s Second Coming (Revelation 19:11, 19-20). In the Tribulation, it appears that half the world’s population could die.
Not everyone in our movement is Christian. That’s okay. But we Christ-followers MUST dedicate ourselves to prayer & praise & testimony and action! Only the gospel of Christ can mend this nation now! We Christians MUST fully engage in spreading the Gospel and the truth. We MUST “bless those who curse us and pray for those who despitefully use us” (except in war; Prov 24:11) We are commissioned by Christ to share the Gospel, even with our new sojourners (undocumented ‘guests’), which could mitigate the plot of the progressives to import a new voting bloc.
If the Deep State & the Cabal ever do lose their stranglehold on America, there will still be deep divisions between the Patriots and the Deceived (the sleepers; the liberals & progressives, plus the millions of illegal aliens). Festering wounds and deep distrust will remain. The ONLY way we can reunify the ‘unum’ to the ‘pluribus’ (the ‘one”’ to the ‘many’) is by the mercy & grace of Jesus Christ and His gospel! 1Corinthians 15:3-4 states the gospel of Christ very simply: “…that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures”. Jesus said, “No one comes to the Father except through Me”. Jesus, the Prince of Peace, CAN heal our land, but we need to share the Good News of salvation through faith in Christ BEFORE the “snatching away”!
DO YOU KNOW JESUS AS YOUR PERSONAL LORD & SAVIOR? If not, please read Romans 10:9-13, then do it!
*Look up 1Thessalonians 4:16-18 and 2Thessalonians 2:3-8 on Bible.com or elsewhere. Also, “Autists of the Lord” have written volumes about the “last days”. Find writings by David Reagan, Frank Turek, David Jeremiah, J. Warner Wallace & other Christian, bible-based teachers. May God Bless Us/US Every One!
Too bad its a televangelical marketing ploy. Did you get your rapture ticket? And misinterpretation of the Scripture.
What exactly does the teleevangelicals have to gain from the pretrib rapture doctrine?
Money.
Wow! Scripturally illiterate much?
Do you want to try me on this? Quote me the Scripture to start.

I love JD! He's a great teacher! Thanks for the links.
John, Acts and Romans (JAR) is a good place to start.
Wanted to add a link for anybody curious about whether the rapture will occur before or after the tribulation and why it’s one or the other. Cheers! https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/essay/the-rapture-question/
The Pre-Tribulation Rapture was implanted into Protestant theology through Jesuit controlled Freemasons.
The last 7 years of the 490 year prophecy found in Daniel 9 have already been fulfilled. The prophecy came to an end when the Jewish high priest ordered Stephen to be stoned to death, as reported in Acts 7, which was exactly 3.5 years after the crucifixion of the Messiah. Messiah was cut off in the middle of the prophetic week, but not for Himself. Saul, who later became the Apostle Paul, witnessed and likely participated in the stoning of Stephen.
At this point, salvation was open to the entire world, including the Gentiles.
Interesting so your saying that Jesus’ 2nd coming took place before the Temple fell to Titus in 70AD? So, 3.5 years after Stephen was stoned?
No. I'm saying Dispensationalism is a false interpretation that was first introduced by Jesuits after the Protestant Reformers such as Luther and Wesley identified the beast in Revelation as Papal Rome, and later introduced to the Protestants by John Nelson Darby of the Plymouth Brethren and popularized by its inclusion in the Scofield Bible.
In other words, the stoning of Stephen marked the end of the 490 year prophecy. The natural branch of Judaism was cut off at that time.
The second coming of Christ happens on a day referred to as "That Day" in Revelation, and after the believers (first the dead and then the living) are gathered in the clouds, the entire planet is destroyed and left desolate for 1000 years, after which point Christ returns and the rest of the dead are resurrected and judged AKA judgement day.
Very good. @Munchaussen could learn from you.
You are very well read.
Love this post. God bless you all. Love to you all.
