Your poll is screwed up.

It does not show my vote correctly and also shows the only vote as 50%.

I feel like I'm at CNN.com

Yes, next hundred years (no revelation from on high, just my guess

).

He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
(Revelation 22:20)

I believe in the Blondie hit, "Rapture"!

Toe to toe, dancing very close.
Body breathing almost comatose.
Wall to wall, people hypnotized.
And they’re stepping lightly.
Hang each night, in rapture.
Back to back, sacroiliac.
Spineless movement and a wild attack.
Face to face, sightless solitude.
And it’s finger popping.
Twenty four hour shopping in rapture.
Fab five freddy told me everybody’s fly.
D.j. spinning, I said, my, my.
Flash is fast, flash is cool.
Francois, c’est pas flashe non due.
And you don’t stop, sure shot.
Go out to the parking lot.
And you get in your car and drive real far.
And you drive all night and then you see a light.
And it comes right down and it lands on the ground.
And out comes the man from mars.
And you try to run but he’s got a gun.
And he shoots you dead and he eats your head.
And then you’re in the man from mars.
You go out at night eating cars.
You eat cadillacs, lincolns too.
Mercurys and subaru.
And you don’t stop.
You keep on eating cars.
Then when there’s no more cars you go out at night
And eat up bars where the people meet.
Face to face.
Dance cheek to cheek.
One to one.
Man to man.
Dance toe to toe.
Don’t move too slow ’cause the man from mars is through with cars.
He’s eating bars.
Yeah, wall to wall.
Door to door.
Hall to hall.
He’s gonna eat ’em all.
Rapture.
Be pure.
Take a tour through the sewer.
Don’t strain your brain.
Paint a train.
You’ll be singing in the rain.
Said don’t stop to the punk rock.
Man to man, body muscular.
Sismic decibel by the jugular.
Wall to wall, tea time technology and a digital ladder.
No sign of bad luck in rapture.

Well now you see what you wanna be.
Just have your party on t.v.
’cause the man from mars won’t eat up bars where the t.v’s on.
And now he’s gone back up to space where he won’t have a hassle with the human race.
And you hip hop.
And you don’t stop.
Just blast off, sure shot.
’cause the man from mars stopped eating cars
And eating bars
And now he only eats guitars.
Get up!

Many will not believe but those that know/study/learn will see the signs and it will be obvious. There will even be some that know but still will not believe. It's all in the Bible.

I believe it will happen, but I have no idea when.

According to the bible there are alot of events that need to take place before the rapture occurs.

I wish it was true but I cant buy into it.

I think blind faith is something your born with. Some people have it, some dont. I think genetics play a role in blind faith, no matter what god or gods or comic book you wish to believe in.

I dont think people are crazy because they believe in what I think are fairy tales. Everyone needs to believe in something that makes them feel wanted and loved.
Humans form groups because we need to feel like we belong. We like to be different or better than the next group.

After reading a bit more, I understand that this is about the 2nd coming of Christ. Well in that case, I do have some opinion on this. I believe it will happen, however, I dont believe that most people on this earth will recognize him when he comes. I think that everyone will assume he will come in the same form as before, and I think this is a mistake. He will come, but will we recognize him, and more importantly, will we reject him or accept him.

Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.

It really is as simple as that.

When you look up, as the clouds part, and see Him, I am totally confident that NOBODY will mistake Him for someone else.

Every knee will bow, every tongue will confess.

UPDATE:

OK. Time to let the cat out of the bag. I had a theory that people who believe in the rapture HOPE/WISH that it happens during their lifetime. It apears that the theory is true. Now just to figure out why they want it to happen during their lifetime. Is it because of some selfish desire to be taken away from this world? Is it some other desire?

Voting is now closed. Here are the poll results. Startling numbers.

Someone show me where it says there will be a rapture in the Bible. This is probably the vilest teaching I know of. I feel sorry for anyone who is teaching this garbage, run away from them. Do you know where this came from? Margaret McDonald was extremely ill when she had her “vision” and said herself that was evil. Do some investigating on you own, don't just beleive what some fool teaches.

II Thessalonians 2

That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.

I only believe in a single Judgment Day. No 'invisible' Return of Christ to 'snatch' the Elect from the earth, but merely a single, solitary event that He called 'the Day of Harvest.'

One in which the Lord will return in Great Power with His Angles, sending them forth to gather the wicked for Eternal Punishment and the Elect of God for Eternal Life.

There will be no secret invisible Return of Christ that will occur before Judgment Day, where He comes for His Church!

That is a Christian conceit that is less than 200 years old!

When Jesus taught for the very first time in a synagogue, He quoted from the Prophet Isaiah as described in Luke, Chapter 4:

16 And He came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.

17 And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,

18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

20 And He closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.

21 And He began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.

Now, notice that Jesus did NOT quote the entirety of that passage from Isaiah!

What part did He leave out? Let's see....

Isaiah, Chapter 61:

1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God;

Isn't it odd that He would break off, mid-sentence, from that quote from Isaiah?

Why not mention the 'Day of Vengeance of our God'?

Simply because that 'Day of Vegeance of our God' was NOT fulfilled in the Days of Jesus' Eartly Ministry.

But it does show that He, by adopting Isaiah's express language, approved of the idea that the 'Day of Vengeance of Our God' was but a single, solitary event.

Not a two-step, invisible and then visible Return of Christ, but a single solitary event!

Read I Thessalonians, chapter four. It is pretty clear. The word for "caught up", in the Latin translation, is the root of the word we know as "rapture"

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 Lord 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 God: 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 Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

The fact you call it a vile teaching indicates you have some serious issues, by the way.

The rapture will happen in my lifetime and I will not be one of the lucky few taken away. I pray my fight for good during my short lifespan in the 1000 years of war that follows will be good enough for the judgement. Let Strength and Honor be my battle cry.
