The question
concerning the Rapture, End Times prophecy and The Second Coming of
Jesus is an important
question for the Church to come to grips with in this hour of its
destiny. If the Church is to go on believing that Jesus can return
at any time for an unperfected Church, then the Church will continue in
its spirit of apathy instead of getting a vision for the glorious
church without spot or wrinkle spoken of in the fifth chapter of
Ephesians. Will some people be left behind, while others escape?
What does the Bible really say?

The goal in this study shall be to approach the subject by looking at
all of the various clues that are found in the scriptures. By putting
them together you will begin to see a clear picture emerging of the
Second coming of Christ and the Church during the Great tribulation.
There are many key scriptures, thoughts and words that will enable us
to rightly divide the word of truth concerning the timing of the Second
Coming of Christ. As we take a look, we will see that the Bible
consistently interprets the
timing of The Second Coming of Jesus to be after the "Great
Tribulation" spoken of in the book of Revelation.
One of the major keys to unlocking the puzzle of this great mystery
concerning Christ and His Church, is understanding the timing and the
events that take place at the last trumpet. If one is to solve this
great mystery then one must approach it in the same way a detective
would approach a mystery, which is by looking for clues.
1 Thessalonians
4:15-17 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we
who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means
precede those who are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from
heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the
trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we
who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the
clouds to meet the Lord in the air...
In the Book of Revelation, at the sounding of this seventh
trumpet by the seventh angel the
mystery of God will be finished that He has declared to His servants
the prophets. According to Acts 3:20‑21 Jesus is being retained in
heaven until all that has been spoken by the prophets since the world
began comes to pass. It's at this point that the Bible says,
everything that has been declared by the prophets is now finished and
Jesus is free to return.
