The prophets saw the future like seeing successive mountain peaks through a telephoto lens. And they didn’t see the Church at all, which is who the Rapture affects. The prophets “inquired and searched carefully” (1 Peter 1:10-11), but they saw more of the big picture than the details. But that is not surprising they didn’t differentiate clearly between the First and Second Advents of Christ. The prophets saw what appears to be the Tribulation-“the time of Jacob’s trouble” (Jeremiah 30:7)-not the Rapture. The purpose of the Rapture is to spare Christ’s own from the horrors of the Tribulation according to Revelation 3:10. The two stages, Rapture and Return, will be separated by a seven-year Tribulation on earth. ![]() Will the Rapture occur at Christ’s Second Coming? The short answer is, “Yes, but….” The Rapture sets in motion the End-Time events leading to Christ’s Second Coming. ![]() The Rapture Is Different From Christ's Second Coming
