Why do people NOT READ, who the Book Of Revelation was written to, and for when ? ?
It was written to The BOND SERVANTS!
Are You a Bond Servant? Are You of The House Of Isrrael? It is stated at The Begging of That Writing: That it was for His bond savants; to show THINGS WHCH MUST SHORTLY COME TO PASS.
Is this Age of 2025 a short time? Are You A Bond Servant?
Huum !

Let's say everyone has repented of their sins and accepted Christ as their savior. What happens if some of those folks were never taught or read God's word to be forewarned that Satan would come to earth first, before Jesus, claiming to be him as written in II Thes 2:3-4. What if these folks ended up worshipping Satan thinking he was God due to the signs, lies and deceptions that he will perform, Rev 13:11-14. Out of ignorance, they would fall away thinking Satan as Antichrist has come to take them away.

So what happens when the real Christ returns expecting to find a virgin bride but the bride is found in bed with Satan being deceived. Math 24:50-51, The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him and in an hour that he is not aware of...there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Why? Because those folks weren't looking for Christ because they thought he was already here. Study Math 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21 for the signs that proceed the return of Christ.

Satan comes first at the 6th trump. Christ doesn't return until the 7th. Don't allow yourself to be deceived by a false doctrine. We are not gathered back to Christ until the Trump of God which is the 7th or last trump, I Cor 15:5-52. If you are being taught to get ready to rapture away with Christ, know this. Satan comes first pretending to be him. Don't be deceived. Study to find yourself approved.

No, the rapture pre trib is a fiction:
Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.” (Matthew 24:29-31)

This means that God’s holy people must endure persecution patiently, obeying his commands and maintaining their faith in Jesus.” (Revelation 14:12)

The real rapture or caught up only happens after the Antichrist/ Beast has crushed the church, “And the beast was allowed to wage war against God’s holy people and to conquer them. And he was given authority to rule over every tribe and people and language and nation.” (Revelation 13:7) and Jesus then appears on the clouds and destroy him with breath of his mouth,
“Then the man of lawlessness will be revealed, but the Lord Jesus will slay him with the breath of his mouth and destroy him by the splendor of his coming.” (2 Thessalonians 2:8).

Only if they have oil in there lantern.
With this statement there is at least something worth considering; however, I am not inclined to believe that a person will be raptured-or-not based on when they believe it will occur.
