Question: Why Matthew 24 is not the Rapture of the Body of Christ? The Reason I give is, Matt 24 addresses Israel and prophecy, not the Body of Christ as it was a mystery not revealed until Paul (Rom 16:25). I believe that the Rapture was a mystery given by God to Paul only (1 Cor 15:51-52).
Let me know your thoughts.
Answer: Greetings to you in Jesus wonderful name!

Answer: Greetings to you in Jesus wonderful name!
1) If Matt 24 is not for the Church, you better cut it out and take the chapter out for your own good and others.
2) If it is for Israel, why does Jesus have to answer the apostles questions about both the Rapture and the Second Coming of his return?!
3) Why does Jesus speak about both the second coming as well as the Rapture in it, and further extend it to chapter 25, thus clearly explaining the importance of seeing the nation of Israel return to its place after 2000 years?
4) If it is only for the nation of Israel, why is it that Jesus wants to pray that we might not enter the Great Tribulation time, and also did not stop there, but also revealed his prayer for the Tribulation saints to tell them that the time of Great Tribulation will be reduced further or else it is not just saints, but all humans will become extinct?
5) Why in the world does Jesus want to identify both the starting point and ending point of Great Tribulation, to then say that in the first resurrection he will gather all those who have been martyred from all the world since creation and give them all a blessed physical part to be a ruling priest in his kingdom?
6) Further, if it is not for the Church why should Jesus Christ warn to watch and pray in Matthew 25 to overcome, escape and be Rapture ready at all times?
7) Why should Jesus Christ promise this particular Terminal Generation of people, that this generation will not pass away before all things he told in Matthew chapter 24 get fulfilled?
8) Was the Church not there for Jesus Christ to speak regarding it during his ministry days, no, not at all. He was laying a strong foundation for the Church, by training the apostles and disciples, for the three and half years during His earthly ministry, so that they could take the Kingdom of God through the Gospel to the ends of the world (Matt 16:16-20; John 22:18-23). Hallelujah! Was Rapture part of the original Gospel, absolutely as Jesus was establishing a spiritual kingdom and giving people a hope of the future physical kingdom that is going to come for a thousand years in which they will rule along with Him from the new heaven and new earth (John 14:3)!!!
Jesus was the first one to reveal about the Rapture (Matt 24:27), the apostles began to understand this spiritual kingdom only after Jesus rose from the dead and began to teach the believers about the spiritual Kingdom of God that has come upon them already (Acts 1:1-3), and especially Paul received this revelation about the Rapture personally from the Lord Jesus Christ himself only after he began to be used by God in all the Churches of that time doing apostolic ministry (1 Thess 4:14-18).
According to the simple sane exegesis and hermaneutics EXPOSITION done contextually, it is absurd to say that Matthew 24-25 is spoken to Jews only and not to the Church. But rather we can stay assured, that it is spoken mainly to the Church and Messianic Jews who will live at the time of Rapture in Judea, and not at all to the Jews because Jesus already prophesied before 2000 years itself, that they will accept the Antichrist when he appears, because they have rejected Jesus the Christ who had come to them in His Father's Name (John 5:43)!
MY CLEAR BELIEF RIGHT FROM THE SCRIPTURE IS THAT, RAPTURE CAN HAPPEN ANYTIME AFTER THE MID-POINT ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION ACCORDING TO THE VERY WORDS OF WARNING ⚠️ FROM JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOR TO THE CHURCH!!!!
Much Blessings......
