AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Thessalonians 4:17 Then we who are alive and remain [on the earth] will simultaneously be caught up (raptured) together with them [the resurrected ones] in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord! [John 14:3; 1 Cor 15:52; 2 Cor 5:8; Phil 1:23; Col 3:4] |
Subject: Rapture |
Bible Note: Hi John -- Thank you! Your question: "Implying that somethings need to be accomplished before the Rapture can happen. I cant say for sure of course and I don't believe for a moment that anyone else can either, but I don't believe there are. :-)" Your question, kind of drags it pack out on the field of speculation. It stands to reason, at least to me, if everything was accomplished, we would not be here:-) Everything Jesus needed to do is finished, as he said. But time is marching on until the time of the end. As you have said, we just don't know. I concur on your non - belief of the single event. Vintage68 |
