No. That's not right at all. Try 1600 bc. You're actually 1000 years off. Jeez dude. What a bad representation of us believers

i do wonder why does God have to warn man about his coming? why not surprise us...?
or why didn't God choose a better method of communication instead of texts since 99.999% of the population 5000 years ago couldn't read...
First, He WILL surprise us. Not even Jesus himself knows the hour of his return...only God does.

Now is the time!!!!!!!!!!
But because you think you live in time.................you will miss him and deny him.
Always right here and right now...............life is alive now, not in time. God is not in time!

You're one of the people I referred to in my last post. You're the WORST of the eschatology people in fact, because you claim that other Christians who don't believe exactly as you aren't saved. If it weren't un-Christian of me, I would tell you to shove it.

Ok...but "the rapture" wasn't even a "thing" until about a hundred years ago when some guy proposed the idea. There is a mention of being "changed." but this whole "The Rapture" thing is an INTERPRETATION and some would argue not even a good one at that.

The answer to that question is in Ephesians.
Once the "144,000" had been "sealed with the promised Holy Spirit" (Ephesians ch1 v13), they were simultaneously "sitting with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus" (Ephesians ch2 v6).
This is what Jesus means when he says that "little ones who believe in me" should not be despised, because their angels (i.e. their spiritual representatives) "always behold the face of my Father who is in heaven" (Matthew ch18 v10).
Those who belong to Christ are on earth and in heaven at the same time, and that is the case of the "sealed" of ch7.
