Time will tell.
What do you think the context says?
A bit...
Oh ye of little faith....
Matthew 24:40-41
Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.
1 Thessalonians 4:17
After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. ...
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Was something specific but I don’t recall what. LOL.
God be with you all.
How to Profit from the Coming Rapture
Sharia law is proof that allah hates us and wants us to be miserable.

0bama has raptured my wallet and my kids’ future. I can’t find those things anywhere!
In heaven, there ain't no beer.
That's why we drink it here. :)
What??? "in the clouds"??? (Damn sure this here rapture ain't gonna be over a desert!)
What??? "in the air"???
Given the opportunity to think for themselves, one would have a very very difficult time selling this kind of myth/fairy tale to a 5 year old.
Complete and utter nonsense...
And you as well.
The list of things that are going to kill us all keeps growing. Just going back a year, the list is extensive.
I think it’s supposed to be May 21.
Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.
Not a whole lot of grinding with "hand mills" goin' on these days...least wise not here in the US. Sorry ladies...all y'all are DOOMED!!!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!!!!
The supermoon is a delayed action global killer....apparently.
Oh ye of little faith....
Where in Matthew 24:40-41 do you have the one taken the one being raptured? You had to make that up and put it in there. That is not faith, that is eisegesis and it is actually the complete opposite of what our LORD actually does teach.
In Matthew 13 we have the Parable of the Wheat and the Tares. On the Last Day when the workers are sent out into the field who gets pulled out first?
Matt 13:30 "Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.'"
So our LORD says to bind up the weeds first. Just in case you didn't get it, after the crowds dispersed, our LORD explained it to the remaining disciples.
Matt 13:40-43 "As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age. The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.
So you see, the Futurists tell us a version of events that is the exact opposite of what our LORD thought was so important that we even have the explanation of it. So why do you want to believe what is clearly a lie and then criticize others for not falling for this lie you bought in to?
I’ve never had any respect at all
for folks or perspectives
who
label
ALMIGHTY GOD’S WORD
as
“Complete and utter nonsense...”
What I was looking for was what actually precedes “after that” because that is important to the interpretation of if when and how The Rapture will happen. Here is what I found:
For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
