That image kept me chuckling for days!
LOL! A trumpet that can be heard at every point on the globe... Thats one incredible trumpet! How many decibels you think it'd have to be?

Anyone who's been here any length of time knows exactly what I believe and you are welcome to research past posts but I ain't here to argue or defend it because it's biblical truth that doesn't need either.

Thrillobyte loves to start rapture threads to poke fun and I like to poke back.

I stand guilty as charged. These rapture threads wouldn't be half as fun if we naysayers didn't have the yeasayers poking us back. You keep poking back, Ilene. As hard as you feel you want to.

That was some pretty lousy syntax, there, Thrillo! Shouldn't it have been "As hard as you want." or "As hard as you feel you must"? You oughtta be ashamed--BA with a minor in English and all!

I understood exactly what you meant though. Does that count?

Actually Ilene's smiley is an accurate description - the body goes down in death as the spirit waves bye bye.... that's rapture baby

BTW - I always thought a sin-tax was, well... never mind

I do believe in the rapture and I believe it will happen.
But doesn't the Bible say No man knoweth the hour or the day. When you least expect it, then the rapture will come.
I know that isn't a correct quote but it goes something like that.
My neighbor told me one time years ago she thought the Rapture was happening when she heard my daughter practicing her first trumpet lessons for school band.
I told her I figured Gabriels horn probably would sound a whole lot better than that.
