Is the Rapture True?
Rapture:
-
(Late 16th century definition) seizing and carrying off.
-
(World religious theology) transporting of Believers to heaven at the second coming of Christ
-
According to scripture, all the world and everyone in it shall experience the perilous times to come according to prophesy, even the two witness and them that are Christ's before his coming. It was shown to Baruch, the prophet, that the troubles to come will take place in the whole earth and all living shall experience them.
II Baruch 28:6-7; 29:1
28:6 But if O Ahayah, those things shall assuredly come to pass which you have foretold to me, so do yo show this also unto me if indeed I have found grace in your sight.
28:7 Is it in one place or in one of the parts of the earth that those things are come to pass, or will the whole earth experience them?"
29:1 And He answered and said unto me: "Whatever will then befall will befall the whole earth; therefore all who live will experience them.

According to prophesy, the only believers that will be taken up before Christ's second coming at the end of the world are the two witnesses of Revelations 11:3. They will be taken up in a cloud after the 42 months [Rev 13:5;11:11-13] of the Beast's authority when they are called up to heaven according to Revelations 11:3,10-14:
Rev 11:3
And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
Rev 11:10
And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
Rev 11:11
And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from Alahayim entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.
Rev 11:12
And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
Rev 11:13
And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the Alahayim of heaven.
Rev 11:14
The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
-
(This shows that the world has not come to its end as yet since there are still woes to come. This helps understand that the witnesses ascended before the end came.)
-
As the tribulations continue after the two witnesses have left, Yache also testified that immediately AFTER the tribulation of those days, the sun shall be darkened…{Matt 24:29} AND THEN shall appear the sign of the son of Man in heaven:…and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and glory. {Mtt 24:29-30} AND He shall he send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet to gather together his elect from the 4 winds, from one end of heaven to the other. {Mtt 24:31} The fact that he is not coming until after the tribulation shows that there is no pre-tribulation rapture for everyone that believes and all men must go through the tribulation to come.
Mat 24:29
Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
Mat 24:30
And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
Mat 24:31
And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
1Th 4:15
For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Adono shall not prevent them which are asleep.
1Th 4:16
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of Alahayim: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
1Th 4:17
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Adono in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

According to prophesy these event wont come until AFTER the 1332nd day:
Ascension of Isaiah 4:14-16
14. And after (one thousand) three hundred and thirty-two days the Lord will come with His angels and
with the hosts of the saints from the seventh heaven with the glory of the seventh heaven, and He will drag
Beliar, and his hosts also, into Gehenna.
15. And He will give rest of the pious whom He finds in the body in this world, but the sun will be
ashamed]:
16. And to all who because of (their) faith in Him have cursed Beliar and his kings. But the saints will
come with the Adono with their robes which are stored up in the seventh heaven above: with the Adono
will come, those whose spirits are clothed, they will descend and be present in the world, and the Adono
will strengthen those who are found in the body, together with the saints, in the robes of the saints, and will
serve those who have kept watch in this world.
-
So it is when Yache actually comes back that "those that are his" will be taken up, not before he comes (except the two witnesses).
Mat 24:40
Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Mat 24:41
Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Mat 24:42
Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
According to prophesy, the tribulations must take place first, with all men experiencing them, then after shall Yache return and send his angels to gather his elect of Israel and the righteous Gentiles. America would have already been destroyed by nuclear weapons because the 10 horns would have burned her with fire {Rev 17:16-18} by the end of the 1274th day (42 months), and Yache won’t be returning until AFTER the 1332 day to save his elect and the righteous {Ascension of Isaiah 4:14-15}. So there is no way one will be delivered up into the sky from America or other parts of the world, except the two witnesses, before the coming of Christ.
In closing, the "pre-tribulation rapture" doctrine has been a stumbling block to lead astray mankind from the truth of the Spirit of Prophesy which shall bring all things to pass. The scriptures do show, who shall actually ascend and when they shall ascend and it is not until AFTER the perils have begun so that we may know that we all shall experience the troubles to come and wont be taken away as a cloud from these perils. We are assured of this fact because even the Two witnesses won't ascend until after the time of the Beast's authority to war against the saints while the elect of Israel and righteous Gentiles wont ascend until Christ actually comes, so we know we all shall experience tribulation in these end times.
