Even so, come, Lord Jesus. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. In closing, what is prayer all about? Prayer is all about fellowship with God the Father. Prayer is an expression of a living faith relationship with our heavenly Father who loves us.

Scripture Verses for Meditation About the Rapture and the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ Ephesians King James Version KJV 8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ; 9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: 10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, 11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: 1 Corinthians King James Version KJV — The Rapture 50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
Philippians King James Version KJV 20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: 21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself. The Lord is at hand. Revelation King James Version KJV 10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
A variant of this argument is that the first three and a half years of the tribulation are the wrath of Satan, while the last three and a half are the wrath of God, so it is at that mark that Christians are removed. Those who believe Christians would be removed at the middle or the end of the seven year period would note that Revelation does not mean that one has to be removed from the situation. In fact, Jesus prays in John for believers not to be taken out of the world but to be kept from the evil one.
Therefore, there is division among those who teach this idea of a rapture and a seven year tribulation period when these events will take place hence the question! Something else to remember when thinking about this question is that not all Christians believe that these final seven years of Daniel await as discussed a bit in this post last week or that the Book of Revelation offers a timeline of specific events that come in the future see this past post on reading Revelation and the possibility of parallelism.
Thus, not all believe in a seven year tribulation that Christians could be removed from. In fact, a common view through the ages has been that the present time is this period of tribulation, with the Book of Revelation describing the challenges that the church will face throughout time rather than specific events.
There will be an increase in evil at the end as Paul notes in places like 2 Timothy , but with no timeline on the length , with the return of Jesus happening after the man of lawlessness is revealed see 2 Thessalonians 2 , and the church will experience these things.
Therefore, there are many who say that Christians will remain until the end and experience the sufferings of the last times. The disappearance is mostly attributed to some kind of religious event, and the show deals with how life might be afterward for those left behind — with all the grief, guilt and confusion that something like that would entail. Despite the setup, neither the show nor the book are overtly religious. The word rapture is never used — at least not in the book — and the ranks of the disappeared seem to have been chosen at random.
And the dead in Christ will rise first; then we who are alive, who are left, shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and so we shall always be with the Lord. We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed — in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.
