Heb 13:5
5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
KJV
The scripture is clear that He would never leave us... we are forever with Him now if we live for Him.
...eehh, don't look now but...
He did not leave or forsake Paul the Apostle...
who ALSO wrote I Thes 4:16, who ALSO wrote the first chapter of II Thes. and many other scriptures related to his future return.
He was WITH Paul then, WHO also expected His RETURN.
The heresy hunters are still with us. Only now, instead of stakes, they use their books and radio programs to destroy those they consider heretics.... I'm concerned that heresy hunting may be turning into leukemia because some cultwatchers seem more intent on destroying parts of the body than healing the body....
Well, I'm ready for the rapture.......of that I have no doubt!!! Many others are not ready. I'm not near as excited about the Rapture as I am about the opportunities which are before us in these times as far as reaching people is concerned. That doesn't mean that the Rapture is a non-event for me, it just means that I'll be busy when it happens!

Maybe the churches attitude of, "why polish the brass on a sinking ship" is the reason this old world is getting in the shape she's in....
I didn't know of any churches that had such an attitude as I see most of them striving daily to make thier communities a better place for all to live in.
Maybe I don't understand the thought behind the comment. Care to explain?
I believe in the catching away of the saints. I want to be ready for it. I want it to happen soon, but not today.
Maybe I'm being selfish, or worse.
But I sure would like the opportunity to be a faithful husband and loving father.
I'd like to be a Chaplain for the military one day.
There are other things I simply want to do right, consistently, knowing the thrill of victory, as a Christian man, in this life, before Christ returns for us.
I hesitated in posting this because I think that maybe I should not think this way.
But these are my thoughts.
I love His appearing, love it every time He appears in my life. I do want to go back with Him when He comes, and that will only happen by His Grace and Mercy because I know I am poor and needy.

I am doing my est to reach all I can...however I believe tribulation before rapture...but not enough to discuss it...countless hours are wasted by people that want their opinion accepted...
If rapture comes first I feel I am ready for that too....however as a whole the church majors in minors and minors in majors...doing a lot of STUFF he never told us to do...some of it good but the needy thing we sometimes push on the back burner....
(just my opinion)

I don't see any scriptures that teach a Rapture...

I am excited about the rapture and am looking forward to it, and am ready!
