What is the "rapture"? Will it happen in 2010?

This is a big subject; books have been written on it. I'll try and explain the topic for you and I hope you'll do some more research on the subject to check my facts as well. Those that miss the rapture of the church will likely die in the Tribulation period.

Per the Bible, 1/4 of the earth population dies early in the tribulation period and it gets worse after that. A great multitude of people believe in Jesus Christ after the Rapture for they appear in heaven and are referred to as "The Great Multitude" in Revelation. In addition to that group, many others are horrendously murdered, through beheading.

The Tribulation Beheaded Martyrs are also listed in Revelation just before the Great Multitude and they are also mentioned in Revelation chapter 20 as being the only one's that come to life again after the Tribulation period. Nobody else but them and nobody else for 1000 years after. Both groups come out of the Tribulation period.

Billionaires of the world we live in have stated they want the population reduced to under 500 million or even below 300 million people from 7+ billion right now. I'll recommend some youtube video channels for you to look into the Satanic agenda of the world "leaders" power players and so called "VIP's" that work for Satan. Youtube channels: KJ Osborne, The Black Child, Purvigiggle, RedSilverJ are good starting points The short book of 1st Thessalonians covers the event where "the church" meet God in the air Jesus.

That short book clearly states and requires it to be read in ALL the churches. The Rapture is described in chapter 4. Therefore, Pastors or Priests which don't read & or preach this book to their congregation are suspect Christians if Christians at all.

THE "RAPTURE" TERM COMES FROM A COINING OF THE 4th CENTURY TRANSLATION OF 1st Thessalonians 4 "deinde nos qui vivimus qui relinquimur simul RAPIEMUR c um illis in nubibus obviam Domino in aera et sic semper c um Domino erimus" "For the Lord Himself shall come down from heaven with commandment and with the voice of an archangel and with the trumpet of God: and the dead who are in Christ shall rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, shall be taken up together with them in the clouds to meet Christ, into the air: and so shall we be always with the Lord. Wherefore, comfort ye one another with these words."

THE RAPTURE, A MARRIAGE EVENT The Rapture is part of a marriage event. For some reason, God has decided that His church will reside or have a home with Him in the city of Heaven. The church will go where He goes.

The Lord Jesus referenced Himself as The Bridegroom on multiple occasions. Jesus said He would come "like a thief in the night" at a time of earthquakes and crazy weather like birth pangs, when people are still living a pleasurable life, eating drinking, marrying, giving in marriage & basically unconcerned about God. Coming at night to get the bride, unannounced was an ancient marriage way of doing things (and this is still practiced some in Israel today).

The proposal was made, accepted, then the bridegroom would go away for a time to make preparations for the marriage. His father would decide when things were ready and tell his son to go get the bride. Jesus said, only the Father knew the day and the hour.

The bride and bridal party had to be ready when the bridegroom came. The Rapture of the church is clearly described in 1st Thessalonians chapter 4 and referenced in other parts of the Bible. The rapture occurs either before the tribulation begins or soon after it starts.

The 7 year tribulation period begins when they sign a peace pact with Israel in Jerusalem. The rapture must come before the end of the tribulation period for it says in the Bible.. ."The Lord Himself shall descend from heaven..." Additionally, The Rapture must occur before the Tribulation Martyrs are beheaded because of Revelation chapter 20 and because the church is in heaven around the thrown of God even before John observes the tribulation martyrs in heaven. When studying this subject be aware that some point to scriptures by Old Testament saints, such as Job, saying they will remain in the dust until the end.

Be aware that the Rapture of the Church does not include Old Testament Saints. The church age began in Acts chapter 2 and ends at the Rapture of the church. Note: Christians that are described as "Lukewarm" or "Laodician" in Revelation will likely not be taken in the rapture of the church.

Some churches may not miss a single member. THE LAST TRUMPET (OF THE LORD, THE TRUMPET OF GOD) Concerning the Rapture, God, The Creator will make a personal appearance and be in charge of it. The Rapture will be a noisy event.

A shout from the archangel and the trumpet of the Lord will blast two times. At the first blast of the trumpet of God, the dead in Christ will rise. At the last blast of The Lord's Trumpet (The Final Trump), both the dead and living will meet the Lord in the air.

God (Jesus) makes a personal appearance in the air to get His Church. God will supernaturally rearrange the elements and give the dead in Christ new bodies and those that are living as well. The Dead in Christ will rise first.

This also may be a noisy event if they are to shout as well. (I would). This event is clearly described in 1st Thessalonians chapter 4 in the Bible.

Additionally, this trumpet is not given to angels as in the book of Revelation. This event is not a trumpet out of the book of Revelation. DATE SETTING BY WORLD ELITE While a Christian can't give a date of the Rapture, we can certainly point to dates being set by those that don't serve God and are in power to bring the anti-Christ government in place.

WORLD EVENTS POINT TO THE TRIBULATION AND RAPTURE VERY SOON.

Paul speaks about this. At the LAST TRUMP...likely the 8th....after the tribulation, Jesus gathers His elect, those who are part of His body, removes them from the earth. At that time, Paul explains they receive ...immortality .

Those not included would not be part of the first resurrection, but have to be in the Great White Throne Judgement. There it seems the Lord sees what people did, and evidence is presented whether they are in the book of life or not. That will be a very long, long process.

Everything then will be revealed, nothing hidden. Thank God our sins are covered, we've repented of them, and are clean through the blood of the Lamb. It's going to get very tough to BE Christian, and most will be killed, and their goods redistributed, their kids removed from them.

We already see this looming. A bad time, as Jesus said.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
