Where Will The Church Be Raptured To?

Noah And Lot Were On Earth Delivered From Destruction, So Likewise Must Not The Church Also Be On Earth To Be Delivered?

Question: The Second Coming happens for everyone at the end of their lives. What’s the point of a rapture if you are already with the Lord? The resurrection is at the Second Coming. All the dead will be resurrected at the Second Coming, so ALL will experience it either in their lifetime or after death. God’s wrath is poured on the ungodly. Both Noah and Lot were on earth when God poured out His wrath.

Rapture to where? Even when the 10 plagues fell in Egypt, God didn’t take the Hebrews out of Egypt before the plagues fell. Our safety from the wrath of God isn’t dependent on location, but on being sealed with the seal of the Living God. Only those with God’s seal of approval will be spared when the wrath to come.

“And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.” (Revelation 9:4).

Answer: Greetings in Jesus awesome name! No when we die we go on to be with the Lord in New Jerusalem until Rapture takes place (2 Cor 5:8; Rev 5:9-11; Hen 12:22-23).

Open your Bible and read about the righteous being resurrected by God (John 5:28-29). First of all understand this most important doctrine of the Bible.

Then what is the point of God's wrath which is only for the world, when it will happen according to you?

Great Tribulation is the second half of the Daniel 70th week after the abomination of desolation (Matt 24:15-22). On which point God's wrath will be poured upon the world to test it to find who is worthy (Rev 3:10), if the Church remains here through the Tribulation, how can God then be able to pour out His wrath (2 Thess 1:5-8; 1 Thess 1:10). I hope you understand. God cannot pour out His wrath or anger until the Church remains on earth (Gen 7:16, 17; 19:22). Example. Noah, Lot.

You are right, but it Noah and Lot were not a literal example that Jesus Christ gave to the Church, but as a spiritual example of the Rapture of the end time that God spoke about. Do you not understand, that Noah was lifted by the ark above the earth and was floating on water all the time (Gen 7:17). He is the perfect example of how the Rapture will make the Church saints who have already entered the ark of faith in Christ Jesus who is building it now, will soon after the Rapture will meet them all in the air, to glorify them in the New Jerusalem and then make them all to enter in to the New World of God in the New Heaven and New Earth (Gen 9:1). And righteous Lot was a warning to the left behind lukewarm people of what happened to Lot's wife might happen to them too, if they are not saved but remain religious because of their association with godly people that makes them think that they are saved (2 Peter 2:7; Luke 17:32-33), but such erroneous thinking is not true faith and cannot save them unless they are born again and have a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ (John 10:27-28).

You are right, when the Israelites were delivered from the slavery of Egypt through the Red Sea, then they crossed into a place of promise in the desert land to inherit the land flowing with milk and honey. But many died in the wilderness itself and were not able to enter in to Canaan's land. The Canaan land is the place of overcoming all the giants of sin to inherit eternal reward of power, glory and honor from God. Many who get saved live and die in the wilderness of sin without entering in to their heavenly reward and inheritance because of living by their rebellious nature and not the new one, so without crossing in to the promised Canaan land of victory over sin many will perish (1 Cor 10:1-11, 12-13).

Regarding Revelation 9:4, God protects the left behind Tribulation saints from the demonic torment of the Trumpet sound which will be stage managed by the two end time prophets Elijah and Enoch, and also protects those Israelites who were sealed as God's servants, along with all the believers who are saved and live in their flesh on earth, both Jews and Gentiles who have not received the mark of the beast at that time (Rev 7:3-4; Luke 10:19-20; Rev 13:8, 9, 10). 

Regarding Rapture to where?

IF THE ANTICHRIST WILL KNOW WHERE THE CHURCH HAS BEEN TAKEN, WHY CAN'T YOU AS THE BRIDE OF CHRIST KNOW WHERE YOU WILL BE RAPTURED AND RESETTLED?

The beast out of the sea cursed God, and it cursed the name of God. It even cursed the place where God lives, as well as everyone who lives in heaven with God (Revelation 13:6).

It is very clear that John means angels and also saved humans… because in the Bible unfallen angels who serve God are present there, and also the more attractive meaning is that he means that those dwelling in heaven are men whose citizenship is now in heaven (Heb 12:22-24).

"But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ." (Php 3:20).

Christians after their physical death are said to dwell in heaven in their spirit until Rapture takes place (Rev 6:9-11), because they belong to the future kingdom of God on earth (Luke 17:21), and now ’in Christ’ they have already begun to live the heavenly life (Eph 1:3, 17-23).

As God has revealed it through the Scripture saying, "and (God by His promise) raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus." (Eph 2:6).

But above all, in Revelation 12:15-17, we see the reason why Satan and his seed the Antichrist was enraged to curse the place where God lives, it was because the earth opened its mouth and helped the people of God to rise up in their glorious bodies to go to New Jerusalem and then there after, the marriage of the Lamb with its bride the Church will take place with a gala reception (Rev 19:7-8, 9), but mid-point of Daniel 70th week, Satan and his angels will be thrown out of heaven to the earth forever. .

So that immediately after these things, the Church will be taken again in a glorious state to get settled in the New Heaven and New Earth which will thereafter orbit in a new alignment with the New Jerusalem (Eph 4:13; 5:27; 2 Peter 3:13), which will come down as a bride prepared for the bridegroom of the New Heaven and New Earth to enlighten that place thereafter for eternity ahead (Rev 21:1-8). Glory!

Much Blessings.....
