Certainly, these posts have more than explained the "rapture" as a term developed by those who believe in premillennialism. One of the things the Lord's church should try to do is to call Bible things by Bible names and not go beyond what is written (1 Cor 4). The Bible speaks of a judgment, but not of a "rapture." The idea of a rapture is a misapplication of 1 Thess 4. We should be ready for the judgment, for when Christ comes again "he shall appear a second time, apart from sin, to them that wait for him, unto salvation." (Hebrews 9:28 ASV.) Not to initiate a period of great tribulation, a battle of Armageddon or a 1,000 year reign.
