When Will the Rapture Happen?

The Bible tells us that every true believer will literally be caught up to be with the Lord. Some people say the rapture is not going to happen until midway through the tribulation period. Others say the rapture will not happen until the end of the tribulation.

The church, the body of believers, is talked about through the Scripture 77 times between Matthew and the end of revelation 3 where Jesus talks about the seven churches. You don’t hear the church mentioned again until the last chapter of Revelation. And when you go Revelation 4 & 5, there’s the gathering and we’re all worshiping the Lord. That happens before the tribulation period begins. All throughout history when God has judged the world, He always removes his people first.

In the same way God is going to remove his sons and his daughters first and then the apocalypse will begin.
