The fascinating thing about this passage is the way Paul readily includes himself in the company of those who will go through all the terrible things he expects to come in the run up to the Lord’s return. He looks forward to going through it!

If the Lord is coming to take the Church out of harm’s way, then no one needs to do anything to prepare. In addition, if the Rapture can happen “at any moment”, then we believers are just as in the dark as the unbelieving world. But is any of this true?

Right here are gathered all twenty of the "When Is the Rapture?" examinations of scripture, along with the final statement on the topic: Jesus' own timeline for the End Times taken directly from His Matthew 24 teaching.

The scriptural allusions to the Last Days are everywhere. Even here in this well-known passage about the reluctant judge, Jesus slipped in a little nugget about His Return. This particular nugget exposes the pre-trib rapture teaching as fool’s gold.
