Mark13:
31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
The Day and Hour Unknown
32 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
Luke 21:
34 “Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day will close on you suddenly like a trap. 35 For it will come on all those who live on the face of the whole earth.
Welcome back to reality.
It means anything can happen now. And I mean anything not even written in any book.
The only way out heaven and earth is by death or rapture. Trust me. I've been raptured from inside this physical body twice before and then put back in each case. I figure third is a charm. And yep, my body was doing things on its own when I wasn't occupying it. And where I went I dont know because all I know is when I'd get back I have no obseravtion memory. It was written that the kingdom come not with observation in Luke 17. I trust in that peice written. I trust that it is true. Fist time I got raptured was on a superbowl sunday at half time. Second time was noticed when I was being transported by people to another place.
So what does it mean when his words shall indeed pass away? It means anything can happen now. And I mean anything not even written in any book. Should be exciting to find out, but be better if I just get raptured for good if I have a third time to be.

I'm not a religious person, so I don't follow the bible much, and I don't know how I feel about this "rapture" thingy, but please expand on you being raptured twice and put back.
Are you saying your soul went somewhere else? And your body kept working? Was there another soul working it?
How did you get put back? Did you get to observe your body functioning without you? Were you hospitalized as a result? Was it a near death experience? Did you see anything while you were away from your body????
So many questions.......
I think we have a soul (our connection to the source of all), and spirit (which animates us, makes us function properly), and our physical body.
As far as things happening not yet written about, I am a firm believer in the fact that we know nothing in the grand scheme of things. Which is why I consider myself a pantheistic agnostic......

Why the need to be raptured?
Ask yourself this question.
And then...
Reconnect to your body. Listen to it...

if you dint remember anything what makes you know your soul left your body? Maybe you had a O. B.E? Maybe you had a real-like dream, a dream that feels real until you wakeup and even when you wakeup it still felt real?
According to the bible you quoted, there is only one rapture, after the final battle and evil is cast away a new life begins. You can't be re raptured especially back to your original body... You need to do some research on what could had happened
Perhaps I'm being led not to fear death because something awaits me on the other side.
Or even, perhaps I'm being informed in a big intelligent way that there is more than meets the eye to life and the world.
Did it ever occur to you all that what the Father knows is that heaven and earth wont actually pass away because they are like a snare/trap by the Father?
1 Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. 2 Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God.
So what does it mean when his words shall indeed pass away?
Mark13: 31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
Mark 13:22For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
