So I want to learn a little bit more about the Rapture from what I read I'm starting to see a lot of signs in the world I like what I message was church the other day it was are you living a Christian life outside of church are you going with the Rapture are you staying even though you go to church doesn't mean you're always living the word.plese help by answering whats the mark of the beast really mean.and our we not gonna be able to eat and stuff
As you have no doubt already discovered, there is much difference of opinion on whether or when the rapture will occur.
John 16:33
33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
KJV
Rom 8:14-21
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,
21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
KJV
IMO, these verses assure us that while we, the Church, may experience tribulation and pain from people; we will NOT endure the wrath of God.
So then, it seems to me that the rapture must occur before the wrath of God is unleashed after the seventh seal of Rev 8:1 is opened.
After the sixth seal is opened Rev 6:12, but before the seventh seal is opened Rev 8:1; John observes Rev 7:9
9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
KJV
I believe that the sudden appearance in heaven of this great multitude from all nations is the result of the rapture.
I believe that the microchips inserted in all credit and debit cards are precursors to chips that will be implanted in people; without which people will not be able to buy or sell. I believe that these implants are in fact the mark of the beast.
I believe that the first five seals have already been opened and that the opening of the sixth seal is immanent.
