Although the
classic verse that is often sited for this Rapture, 1 Thessalonians
4:13-18, I do not believe is accurate.
It is talking
about the Appearance of Christ Jesus at the Battle of Armageddon,
which is the only Visible appearance of Christ Jesus.
There is only
one Trumpet Call, and it is to the Battle of Armageddon, at the End
of The Great Tribulation.
I believe
that those who have died to themselves and live for Christ alone,
which is not all of Christianity, are taken away with the Holy
Spirit, after the Great Apostasy, and the revealing of the
Antichrist. (2 Thessalonians 2:1-12)
This is just
before God begins His Great Tribulation in response to a the Whole
World that worships the son of Satan, the Beast of Revelation, the
Antichrist. (Revelation 13)
I believe
that God promises that those who have died to themselves, and live
for Christ Jesus alone, are Saved from His Great Tribulation. Listen:
"Since
you have kept My Command to Endure patiently, I will also keep you
from the HOUR OF TRIAL that is going to come upon the Whole World to
TEST those who love on the Earth." (Revelation 3:10)
I further
believe that the Woman of Revelation 12 is The Bride of Christ, and
is taken into a Desert Place, and protected there by God for the
duration of The Great Tribulation. (Revelation 12)
And, yes, one
will be taken and one will remain.
A great
portion of Christianity does go through the Great Tribulation. Read
Revelation 7:9-17)
