When Christians speak of the return of Jesus Christ in the end time, use the word "Rapture". In these days, "Rapture" commonly means "the joy of ecstasy," but has a different meaning. At its root is the Latin rapper which translates into English as "attachments". Refers to when Jesus returns in the clouds of heaven, a great trumpet sounds and all Christians who have been dead have risen to power, eternal bodies, then Christians living are immediately processed and "caught up together with them in clouds" (1 Thess. 4:15-17). This is the rapture of the Church.

Christians are almost unanimous about what happens when the kidnapping a place where they differ is on the timing of this event. Jesus spoke of a time of entry of persecution and boredom in the land called the Great Tribulation (Matthew 24:21), and some Christians teach that believers will be removed out of danger before the penalty begins, others believe the Christians are still on earth during this tumultuous period. Consider these two courses, beginning with pre-Tribulation Rapture.

Christians who follow this doctrine believe that kidnapping is a secret, an event that will be invisible and very suddenly and unexpectedly, that soon after they have gone to the Christians, the Great Tribulation begins. Because this instruction specifies that kidnapping occurs before the Tribulation, called Pre-Tribulation Rapture. In this scenario, only the unsaved people the world is left behind to experience the antichrist taking over the world and the beginning of his reign of terror. The Bible says that a vast multitude of Christians go through the Great Tribulation (Rev. 7: 9, 13-14), but after Tribulationists argue that these are people who have become Christians after the abduction, when they realized that their relatives were rescued from the game and what the Bible says is true.

People who follow this teaching that Jesus said again "like a thief "(Revelation 16:15), and say that when it comes to snatch believers away. They stress that Christ told his disciples, they did not know the day" or " the hour of his return (Matthew 25:13)-sense, one could conclude that Jesus could return at any time. Jesus said in Matt. 24:29-31 that he "immediately after the tribulation ", but before Tribulationists insist that this is when Jesus returns with the hostages and the believers to fight the Antichrist in battle Armageddon (Revelation 19:11-16).

The Post-Tribulation Rapture doctrine is so named because it is said that Jesus will return to rapture the church after of the Great Tribulation. Christians who believe in this state Christ said nothing in Mt. 24:29-31 on the back, with the armies to fight the Antichrist, but the talks specifically on the meeting "" (the Rapture), what happens now, not before the Tribulation. The passage in question reads as follows:

"Immediately after the tribulation of those days … they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. He will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other "(Matthew 24:29-31).

Also, 1 Cor. 15:51-52 states "… All is changed at the last trumpet" and the believers who say the Church of today will still be here on earth when the Antichrist is power during the Great Tribulation, we recall that the seven trumpets announce major disasters throughout the Tribulation rational, but the seventh trumpet (the trumpet "last"), such as the grand finale at the last moment (see Revelation 8:2, 10:7, 11:15.)

James is a Bible scholar. His passion is to share the truth to everyone regarding the End Times and the Antichrist to prepare the world for the Hope of the New Beginning. For more information on the Rapture of the Church, visit http://www.EndTimeAntichrist.com
