Good morning Shalom. I am very happy to have found your thread. Until I decided to see what the thread was about, I did not know that it was one of yours.

The "rapture theory" as described in your post, is, of course, false teaching wherever it is taught. In some instances, though, I believe some people are using the word "rapture" in the wrong concept. I can see how some of the people have become confused by scriptures in "The Revelations of Jesus Christ" as reported by the Apostle John. All of which took place after the sixth seal was broken.

Rev. 7:3-"Wait! Don't hurt the land or the sea or the trees until we have placed the seal of God on the foreheads of His servants." Some may have construed this to mean all of those who believe in God but, they failed to note that this was in regard to the 12,000 from each of the 12 tribes of Israel. I have had a number of people scoff and say that 10 of the tribes of Israel have been lost. I must, then, remind them that, even though mankind has lost track of them, God certainly has not.

7:9 " After this I saw a vast crowd, too great to count, from every nation and tribe and people and languages, standing in front of the throne of God and before the Lamb. And they were shouting...'Salvation comes from our God on the throne and from the Lamb!"

This, of course, happened after all people had suffered under the trials and tribulations of the six seals.

7:14 "And I said to him,'Sir, you are the one who knows. Then he said to me 'These are the ones coming out of the great tribulations. They washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb and made them white."

All of the Christians, I am around, know that all must suffer many of the tribulations but some still refer to their salvation before the end as "rapture".
