Myth 6: In case of the Rapture, this vehicle will be unattended.
You can know when the rapture takes place by answering the following three questions using scripture.
1. Who rises first?
2. When do they rise?
3. When is the last trumpet?
That's far less than Harry Potter and nobody actually believes that story either.
If they try to explain away the sudden disappearance of millions of born-again Christians by saying space aliens took us away because we weren’t vibrationally in tune with the spiritually evolved people left behind . . . don’t believe them.
Just sayin’.
When I first read this, I thought it sad “rupture”, and thought it was a thread about hernias.

The event of 1 Thess. 4 differs from the return of Christ in Mt. 24, Rev. 19 and Zech. 14.
In 1 Thess. 4, there is no warning, Jesus does not touch the earth, there is no action of judgment by Jesus, and the believers who are both dead and living go UP to be with him.
In the Second Coming passages, his feet touch the earth, he does a major smackdown on the nations, there is great political, spiritual and cosmic disaster preceding the event, the whole world sees him coming, and the believers are coming with him in a great army.
It will go platinum.
Don’t be grounded when the Rapture comes.
Thanks Viking83, this was well-written and informative.
The author makes some glaring mis-statements about the pre-trib position, and I think glosses over scripture in favor of Church teaching. However, I don’t think most people who believe in a pre-trib Rapture expect Catholics to believe in such, just as non-Catholics don’t believe the Pope is the direct spiritual descendant of Peter, that Mary was assumed bodily into heaven or that the bread and the wine become the literal body and blood of Christ during communion. If they did, Catholics would become “fundamentalists”, and “fundamentalists” would become Catholics!
I had opportunity to read ALL the books in sequence around the end of last year.
It’s a BIG difference than having to wait a year or more for each one.
Good points. Although it’s fun to study and wonder about when, where, and how the end will come, it definitely will come no matter what your theological understanding is. Every knee will bow. I’m practicing up now.
LOL!!!

The dead in Christ rise first, as part of the complex of things that take place in short order on the last day.

Amazing how such an article can miss the one thing that all dispensationalists state clearly:
DISPENSATIONALISM is arrived at by the normal, literal, or plain or grammatical-historical interpretation of the Bible.
The Bible is not allegorized (like the Catholics and other fringe elements do), and in all instances: the original intent of the writer is studied.
So if you take the Bible literally, you are by nature, a dispensationalist.
The Bible clearly teaches the rapture. An argument by any church father is meaningless: Scripture is God’s opinion, and that is the only opinon that matters.
It sounds funny, but they’re already working on it.
