Rapture

[Armyman]

I'm confused, when is this to happen? At the 3rd woe, midway tribulation, or before it?
This will cause serious problems if it's during or before the tribulation. Think of the millions that will vanish.

[Philip]

Army, there are quite a few problems with the views surrounding a supposed Rapture of the Church. There is much missing information that currently is unavailable to us. And there already WAS both a beast (Nero!) and severe tribulation in the first century - which doesn't mean there won't be a parallel in our future (there are many such parallels across Scripture.) Every current view of a rapture has missing information that they require to fit each view - get those missing bits wrong, and the view falls apart. What we MIGHT be only waiting on is for Christ to return - that's uncertain, per the other proposed events of blend of such.
