God, who is spirit, has declared that the "Kingdom of God is within you". (Luke 17:21) Yet we look for natural solutions to satisfy the carnal appetite of the unregenerate mind.
Meanwhile, we're wasting time - creation is groaning for the manifestation of the sons...
LOL, the first part may be correct, but considering all the people trying to predict it using the same patterns, it is unlikely that it will happen the way it has been traditionally taught.
Maybe acknowledge how much of the 2nd part exists in the 1st part and you will understand why there are so many doubters and the ones that don't doubt are either making money off of it or they are trying to convince themselves it's true.
Quite right ILNC. It is amazing, but not surprising that so many believers (I don't know if the author of this thread is a believer or not) do not understand, or simply reject the clear statements of the New Testament concerning the rapture of the church. It is part of Satanic strategy to deceive whoever will be deceived into rejecting truth.
The error of some however, who do understand that the church will be raptured is in date setting. Or in thinking that it will be after the tribulation instead of before it.

Matthew 10:34
Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
1 Thessalonians 4:16
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
The same God who flooded the entire Earth and destroyed Sodom & Gomorrah with fire and brimstone, is the same God that will take his holy spirit and saints from this Earth and leave behind the wicked world. The world does not want God, so they will see what it will be like to live in Hell for 7 years under the tyrannical rule of their God, Satan.
Jesus WILL return and you are one of the people that will not expect it out of the ignorance of your own heart. And if you do not repent, you will be left behind. Ignore his warning at your own risk.

Jesus will return for us, just as He said He would.

Amen !
