Subject: Is the rapture biblically supported? |
Bible Note: Hi Kalos, I had no idea how to search that way. Thank you! I have printed off many of your posts, and I will read them over the weekend. At first blush, it seems to me that our area of disagreement is not so about the rapture itself, but when the surrounding events occur. I have no doubt that you, as do I, am looking for our savior to return for us, to be with Him forever. I do not believe as most people I know, I too think the rapture comes during or after the sixth seal. Its the only way it seems to make sense. I have a fairly lengthy (about 30 pages) timeline of the end times prophecies I have put together, not that I am saying this is the way it must be, just what it seems, which I would be happy to show you should you be interested. Honestly, I am interested in a critical review of my work. Let me know if you are interested, and I can email it. If you're not, no problem. I believe that prophecies might not be completely understood until they are fulfilled, and I keep an open mind. Again, I am out of time. I'll talk to you on Monday. Love in Christ, Mark |
