no body will know until after the Rapture (and us Christians won't have to worry about the Antichrist because we won't be here:-)\n\nGod Bless You

God will rapture only those who are saved (they are the ones Sealed with the Holy Spirit). Once the Tribulation begins all who have heard the gospel will be decieved and when the beast comes and requires a mark (a seal) they will belong to him and never be able to be saved from God's Wrath and Punishment of eternity in the Lake of Fire. \n\nThose who are born again will be raptured before the tribulation begins. Think about the shadows of historical stories in scripture: Noah was saved from the Judgment of the Flood. \n\nCheck out Premillinial books and see that they are accurate with what scripture teaches. \n\nThe Judgments on the earth during the tribulation (see Revelation) will happen during all 7 years of tribulation. If we are saved and forgiven from our sins (born again in Christ) he would not leave us here to be among those judged. The first 3 years are false peace and there are things going on that are coming down from a Just God bringing Wrath. \n\nAmazing how our church has been studying Revelation for 18 weeks now and we covered that stuff a few weeks ago. We are on the 7th and final trumpet before Christ's return with the Redeemed of the Ages and the Angels to reign in the Millenial Kingdom.\n\nHope my info helps you.

Actually, if you read the Bible, when people died before Christ they went to a place called Shoal, which is where Jewish people still believe people go when they die, as they go mostly by the Old Testament.  Kind of neither a Heaven or Hell.  When Jesus died, he went and got the good people out of Shoal and took him with him to Heaven.  Also, when the Rapture occurs, it says those who are dead will rise first and then the rest will meet Christ in the air.  Then judgement of everyone takes place and the damned are cast into the lake of fire.  So basically, before the birth of Christ, God was watching.  And after, he still is.\n\nAs an aside, anyone who reads this might like to ask themselves how interesting it is that atheists seem to dislike Christianity because if demands a code of behavior and forbids some favorite sins.  Seems that way to me, hence the condescending tone to those attempting to live their lives rightly.

If Jesus comes before I die, i will be called up to meet him in the air. If i die before he comes i will go to Heaven. Why? Because I have been saved By the Grace of God.

According to Revelation in the Bible, an angel will throw something like a mountain into the sea.  That could very well be a comet or meteorite. \nThat would happen before the return of Jesus Christ when the earth really starts to have trouble according to Revelation.

I think you would really rather be going up to heaven at that time. The earth won't be worth living on for the at least next 7 years after the Rapture takes place.  There will be diseases and death and massive destruction and earthquakes and darkness and not much food to eat. Please reconsider John 3:16

The Bible says that Armageddon will end it all.  I plan on being in heaven by then.  When Jesus Christ comes back after all that to rule and reign on the earth forever, there will be no more fighting, no more war, night, crying, pain, etc.  That will be glorious!

Then there will be two men in the field; one will be taken and one will be left. Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one will be left." (Matthew 24:40–41) \n\nAlso, Revelations is full of Tribulations that will happen to the people here on Earth, although it is widley disputed whether Rapture will occur before or after Tribulation.

We are in the end of the times, and all we are waiting for now is the last person to be born again by God's Spirit through repentance and faith in Christ (trusting in him to save them as they would in a parachute they have put on to save them from the jump that is to come). \n\nOnce the last person is saved then Jesus will return and all believers will be raptured to heaven and the Tribulation period will come upon all who were left behind on earth. God's wrath will begin and the entire tribulation period will be 7 years before he returns with all the Christians from heaven and the angels to reign on earth for 1000 years. This is called the Millenial Kingdom. A\n\nt the end of the world there will be two judgments on one Judgment Day. At the Bema (reward) seat of Christ (the saved)believers will receive rewards and crowns for being obedient servants, the rest of the people who were placed in Hell until this Day or were alive up to this point will be brought before God on this Judgement Day and they will be judged by God according to the 10 commandments and see if they have broken his Law. Those who are guilty (all of those unsaved people there on Judgement Day)will be found guilty and tossed into the Lake of Fire and will be tormented and alone in darkness for all eternity. Never to escape or be saved from it.

It would be nice if people would put the verse they ask about here too.\nI don't have my Bible handy, but I think you're referring to verse that says, "That\nday will not come, till the son of perdition is revealed."\nThis has been an ongoing argument with Christians. When will the Rapture\noccur? This verse says it will not happen until the antichrist is revealed for who he really is!

im glad you asked that. this is going to take a while but ill try and give you a short version to prove by the bible that this is in fact the days just before the tribulation. the most important thing to remeber is scripture interprates scripture in other words you can find answers to questions thru out all the 66 books of the bible. here is 3 key points to prove this is those days. lets look at the 1st key point in 2 thessalonians 2:1-12. verse 3 says let no man deciev you by any means FOR THAT DAY SHALL NOT COME EXCEPT THERE COME A FALLING AWAY FIRST, and that man of sin the wicked one be revealed, the son of perdition. (or anti-christ). what that verse said is the anti-christ cannot be revealed untill a falling away happens. whats a falling away? some say that is a rapture i kinda agree with that but i think the falling away is the gradual decline of true christians. think back 60 years ago churches were packed our church just 25 years ago had on average 125 people every sunday morning now it does good to get 30 weve lost 95 people in 25 years and our church isnt the only one churches all over are that way there is few exceptions but for the most part that is the norm we are dealling with the hole here. christianity keeps declining in numbers eventually God will have no option but to send christ to rapture the church. the thing that is not noticed here is while true christians are on the decline satan is on the incline the holy spirit is what is keeping satan at bay now but as the holy spirit goes away satan encounters less resistance so finally when the church is raptured then satan or the anti-christ will have free run of the world. now look at society today all over the world am i right in this observation. just watch the news all the murders child abuse immorality its there people be honest. 2nd thing there has to be a nation of isreal. ezekiel 37:1-28 talks about a rebirth of a nation (isreal) prior to may 1948 there was no nation of isreal some people think every generation is the terminal generation if theyd study the bible they see prior to 1948 that there was going to be no return of Christ the bible says so dont argue me argue the bible if ya dont believe it but thats what it clearly says. now God has refered to isreal as the fig tree several times in the bible look at Hosea 9:10 and Joel 1:1-9. now lets look at Mathew 24:32-34 it says now learn the parable of the fig tree(isreal) when his branch is yet tender and putteth forth leaves ye know summer is nigh so like wise ye when ye shall see all things know that it is near even at the doors verily i say unto you this generation shall not pass till all these things be fulfilled. now look at isreal its only 58 years old and one of the stongest nations in the world id say that they are its putting for leaves while its branches are yet tender (or young). thats the 2nd key point and now the last one the 3rd point. the revived roman empire. in daniel chapter 2 verses 31 thru 45 daniel is descibing a dream this dream was a statue head of gold breast and arms of silver his belly and thighs of brass his legs of iron and his feet part of iron and part of clay. now we will use world history to reveal this image daniel told nebuchandnezzar he was the head of gold the Babylonian empire then there would be one after him the arms and breast of silver is the medo-persian empire and the third kingdom belly and thighs of brass is the greecian empire now here is the key part for our times the legs of iron was the next kingdom can ya guess who it was? the roman empire the legs of iron. now lets look at the feet of iron and clay the feet have iron in it so part of i has to be rome in some form but the clay shows its the same as it was somethings different about this roman empire. look at the european union. i got a map of the roman empire in all its glory all the territory it had all europe middle east parts of africa, then i got a map of europe to day with all the nations and i colore
