The end of days won't happen until after the rapture...

I just watched A Thief in the Night and A Distant Thunder over the weekend...

Continue to read your Bibles... bad things are happening, but the worst is yet to come...

Re: with all the natural disasters in the world going on do you think that these are

If you study Matthew 24, you will see that these are things that are suppose to happen. And yes, things will only get worse. Having hope and faith in God is what will sustain us during these times.

Regarding the rapture, I am Christian, however we do not believe in the rapture in my church. I am not knocking anyones beliefs. I understand that the belief in the rapture is taken from Matthew 24:40 and 41, however we look at the whole picture and believe that the coming of Christ is literal and that '....all the nations of the earth will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather His elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.'(MAtthew 24:30,31.)

If we believe as you do, then the OP asks a very good question... could we already be living in the days of Tribulation?

Very good point, Good... there sure is a lot of death going on.

Well, according to Daniel 12, which speaks on the endtimes, verse one states that 'there will be a time of distress(trouble)such as has not happened from the beginning of nations.' I don't believe we have reached this point yet, but I do know, based on biblical prophesy and the signs of the times(wars, natural disaters, etc),we are not far off. When will things go from bad to worse? God only knows. All I know is that at the end of it all, 'According to the Lord's own word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left till the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep(died).For the Lord Himself will come down from heaven with a loud command(shout), with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christwill rise first. After that,we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.' I Thessalonians 4:16,17. This is what I am looking forward to with hope and faith as these things occur all around us.

Yes, I'm familiar with that. Those who have died in the Lord and those in the Lord who are still here, will be caught up together to meet Christ...

Great post Good & B. I am off to Matthews to read up. Thanks for peaking my interest.

 

[JuJuBoo]

Yes, although I think we have a lONG ways to go.
1. Things will get a lot worse than they are now.
2. The gospel will have been preached to ALL ends of the earth before Jesus comes back. So get busy. lol

I haven't studied revelations, but I do think something drastic is going to happen, maybe not in our lifetime...?!?

I was thinking one day of all thats going on in the world and mentioned it to a couple of people around me that the world is coming to an end and they just brushed it off. I was thinking of all the hurricanes, earthquakes, Tsunami's, Wars, Politics, high casualities, etc..its all scary to me.
