Distinguishing between the Rapture and the Second Coming. The distinction between the Rapture and the Second Coming lies in their timing and purpose within Christian eschatology. The Rapture is a belief among some Christians that believers will be caught up to meet Jesus in the air, prior to a period of tribulation on Earth. This event is thought to be imminent and could happen at any moment. It's seen as a moment of rescue for believers from the hardships to come.

Conversely, the Second Coming refers to the return of Jesus Christ to Earth in glory and power, marking the end of the tribulation period and the establishment of his kingdom. Unlike the Rapture, which is seen as an event of sudden removal, the Second Coming is anticipated as a visible, triumphant return of Christ to reign over the Earth. While both events are integral to Christian belief, their timing and the nature of their consequences set them apart theologically.

    How Paul knew the dead would rise first. ISAIAH 26:19-21 Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead. 20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. 21 For, behold, the Lord cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.

    The rapture before the judgment in Zephaniah. Zephaniah means "Yah Hides or Hidden of Yah."Zephaniah 2:1-31 Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation not desired; 2Before the decree bring forth, before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the LORD come upon you, before the day of the LORD'S anger come upon you. 3Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD'S anger.
  • Frank,you are a great teacher brother,thank you! The way you explain this subject,you have changed my mind completely,thank you! I was kinda on the fence about even going through some of the Trib,I remember the thought,when the locusts come out they will only attack those who don’t have the seal of God,so in my confusion I thought we’d still be here for that,I’m so very excited for the arrival of Jesus coming,this just totally makes my day🤗thank you dear brother. Then that only leaves me to believe it may be this year sometime! Why do I say this? Because it seems to me Agenda 2030 is running in tandem with the rapture/Great Tribulation,there’s 7 years left in my head because the enemy wants the NWO wrapped up by 2030…any thoughts on that thinking brother? I’d love to hear back from you🙏Thanks Again,your sister in Christ, Christine.

Psa_90:10  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
