@texasborn89 I would have to agree with you on that. While we know that the Bible says no one knows when the rapture shall occur, I have to agree with you on that. I think it may be this year, but like you, I'm certainly not predicting. It's just a feeling I have, being that the world is obviously winding down, even in nature. It can't go on much longer.

Being Anglican (yes I'm aware of the poor state of the church I even attend a church outside the denomination) I tend to be skeptical of the rapture and just come straight to the second coming.
But having said that the way governments are, the way the UN is becoming.... it does feel like a one world government is sliwly being formed.
The way the UN act and do a fake 'second rapture' with fake statistics in Kevin Sorbo's 'left behind' is bang on how they would act in RL.

@BritishFailedAesthetic if you will read my whole post, I think you will see that the Rapture is very real. I think I proved that in my post. It is in the Bible. The word rapture is not in scripture, but it's most clearly laid out in the Book of Matthew, in which it is prophesied that the Son of Man will send out his angels with a trumpet call to “gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens. It occurs in the parousia: "those who are alive and remain unto the coming (παρουσία) of the Lord, shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air" (1 Thessalonians 4:15–17) At Christ's Second Coming, NONE are caught up and meet Him in the air. At the second coming, a whole different thing happens. Christ comes back to Earth with his army of angels and sets foot on the Earth to save Israel in the war of Armageddon. These cannot be the same events but there are false teachers here, teaching differently.

@Adstar We'll have to agree to disagree on that one but, I know you feel the same way I do about what the Bible says that no one knows when the rapture will come, but I personally feel, strictly my own opinion, I feel that the rapture will come either this next year or the one after.
@Adstar
Know the Bible. The rapture and Second Coming are not the same event. The Antichrist is not revealed until after the rapture, is taught in 2 Thessalonians 2. Speaking of the Day of the Lord, Paul writes that the tribulation will not begin until after the Antichrist is already revealed: “That day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man who will be defeated in the end. He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God” (verses 3–4).
Further, at the Second Coming, Jesus does NOT, as shown in Matthew 24:40, take one person and leave the other behind. That describes the rapture.
"Then there will be two men in a field — one will be taken and the other left behind."
To teach anything else is false teaching. You cannot make the Rapture and the Second Coming, coincide to be the same event, no matter how hard you try.
