Another scripture that gives us insight as to the timing of the rapture is actually 2 Thessalonians chapter 1 where the Bible reads in verse 6, seeing it as a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you and to you who are troubled, rest with us when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, inflaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his power when he shall come to be glorified in his saints and to be admired in all them that believe because our testimony among you was believed in that day. Notice a couple of times here the Bible uses the word when, so we get some timing elements here with the word when. The Bible says that God will give rest unto us as believers when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, inflaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God. That's when we are given our rest and then in the same time it says when he shall come to be glorified in his saints and to be admired in all them that believe. So Christ coming will be admired in all them that believe and and Christ will give us rest at the same time he comes to pour out his wrath on this earth. Now this is exactly what Luke chapter 17 teaches when it says that the second coming of Christ will be as it was in the days of Lot where the same day they went out of Sodom and Gomorrah it rained fire and brimstone on Sodom. The same day of the rapture the Bible teaches God's going to begin to pour out his wrath on this earth. God is going to rain literal fire and brimstone from heaven with the opening of the seventh seal. That's the same day as the rapture. Now the reason this is important is that a lot of people have been taught this false view of the rapture from the Left Behind series and other fictionalizations that they just take as fact they don't realize it's just a Hollywood movie so they take it literally and they think that people are going to disappear and that everybody's going to be wondering where they went. Well there's no teaching in the Bible that the rapture is a secret rapture where people disappear and nobody knows why. In reality Jesus Christ is going to come in the clouds every eye is going to see him he's going to be admired in all them that believe he's going to be there to rapture us up and then to pour out his wrath and nobody's going to be wondering where did all these people go. They're actually going to be ducking and covering and hiding from the wrath of the Lamb and from him that sitteth on the throne. So it's really clear here in Second Thessalonians chapter one and in Luke 17 that the rapture takes place the day that God pours out his wrath. We are removed from this earth and then he pours out his wrath. We do believe in a pre-wrath rapture but it's not a pre-tribulation rapture as the Left Behind series teaches.
