Circumstantial evidence sometimes makes for a quiet witness.  As like why Christ taught in parables!

A few intriguing tie ins starting with the resurrection of Lazurus!  Prior to his resurrection his sister Mary was reminded of the teaching of the last resurrection and thereby a portal of faith was crossed after three full days in the grave!

Israel likewise was given their marching orders to cross the Jordan river into the promised land three days in advance!

Just as Christ prophesied his victory over death three days in advance which became a major tenant of belief for our own resurrection!

Again quiet testimonies filled with significance!

it sure seems current circumstances worldwide are evidence of what's soon to come...praying we leave soon and are faithful until then to obey all He asks out of our love and appreciation for all He is and has done!!!   are you still expecting a heads up of some sort when extremely close to our departure?  more of a quiet teaching by The Spirit that only those with ears to hear recognize and are comforted and filled with joy by the lesson that we believe and then get to have our faith become sight?

A more quiet but profound quickening of our spirits as the Lord deposits that unarguable knowledge into those that will be Raptured!

Not expecting it as like it were written in stone, but then again it would'nt surprise me!

It makes sense to me knowing and having seen His heart!

Let's face it, the Rapture in all will be a heart stopper! If Paul could reveal and explain the mystery of the Rapture to begin with as he was called to do, could'nt then the Lord reveal the mystery of when?!

Again, the Rapture was a mystery until it was revealed!

In God's timing He could definitely reveal the mystery of it's timing as well!

This would not be beyond His purview!

Again let me be clear!  I am not claiming to be an apostle, prophet or even claiming my thoughts on this matter are Heaven sent!

Just a little thinking outside the box!  He and His thoughts are so much bigger than I, don't want to restrict His actions in any way!

My last word on this topic!

Given all the wild and blind speculations with regards to every aspect of God’s dealings with man, this proposed subject alone has been treated as some great heresy to be beyond any serious consideration!

Beyond my comprehension!

Either it will happen or it won't. Profound, I know. :good:

No use getting worked up about it. 😉

In all seriousness, it is not exactly verifiable. We really won't know until when/if it happens.

True that but it would be the icing on the cake!

I don't see this as anywhere near being heresy. I just don't see it as being something that has precedence in Scripture. I would be beyond THRILLED if it were so, I just don't expect it to be that way. Best I can tell from what I think I know, it will happen in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, as recorded in 1 Cor 15:52. I am happy to discuss the theory and would be interested in hearing a case for it.
