Will a rapture happen?

[JLB]

Someone told me the rapture will come a week from Tuesday.
But I couldn't find that in the Bible.
Be a good Berean and study your Bible.

The rapture occurs at night.

The rapture occurs at night.

And what makes you think that?

It's 5:00 somewhere.

When Jesus returns, the whole earth will light up!

Where is that found in scripture as it says in Matthew 24:29 the sun be darkened, sounds like the sun will be shining and then darkened.

Yes, it seems that nothing will stand in the way of the glory of God.

Truly doesn't matter if it's day or night as long as we are prepared for His return.

Yep. It's gonna happen.

Matthew 24:27-44, "For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together. Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh."

Weren't the ones who were taken away in the days of Noe the ones swept away destroyed? Noe and the other seven members of his family were the ones left behind and hence saved.

Be careful what you wish for.

I agree with you.
That verse in Matthew became popular with the pre-tribbers...

Actually pre-tribbers recognize those verses in (Matthew) to address the Second Coming and not the Rapture.

Well, that should be true but not from my experience.
