Son/daughter, it was Jesus who started the revealing of the coming Rapture, found in the passage of John's Gospel, 14:1-4. That you are so ignorant as to call the doctrine of the Rapture a false doctrine reveals what spirit is in you. You should deal with that before it is too late.

The Lord Christ will remove His Body of Believers BEFORE the opening of the seals found in chapter six of the Revelation of John. At the end of the third chapter it is no less than Jesus who bids John to come up. It is to the Body of Believers of the Phiadelphian grouping of Believers that Jesus Promises to keep them from even the hour of the testing under the AntiChrist.

The Departure has been preached all the way back to Paul and his letters to the Body of Believers at Thessalonika and in Corinth, by inspiration from God's Holy Spirit. The Departure has been preached and debated ever since. [HINT: lo0ok up the Pseudo-Ephraim].

My final warning to you is, Do Not Take The Mark when commanded tyo you, even if a demonic image of the virgin' is urging you to do so. Just do not take the Mark of the Best you are looking forward to arising.

misreads the text as only a partial coming and return back to heaven. Verse 15 reads that the Lord will “descend from heaven with a cry of command.” But nowhere does Paul say that Jesus returns to heaven. If Jesus’s descent is definitive, it’s not a partial coming as the pre-tribulation view requires it to be.

how the details of the passage reveal that Paul is talking about the final coming of Jesus at the end of time.

Notice that it’s not just the living who are caught up with the Lord, but also the dead in Christ: “And the dead in Christ will rise first” (v.16). That Paul speaks of the resurrection of the dead tells us that he’s referring to the end of time.

We know this because Paul states in 1 Corinthians 15 that the end happens in tandem with the resurrection of the dead.

Paul is talking about the end of time is because when he speaks about the “coming of the Lord” in his second epistle to the Thessalonians, he says that the Antichrist and his reign of evil must precede it
