Christian - End Times

When Will The Rapture of The Church Happen?  Collin Leong. August 15, 2025 A. Summary This is a shortened update from my previous blog about the rapture. I have removed other sections and did this new summary so that it is easier for you to read. Section B are details explanation with the verses and calculations, but it is optional to read as it is long.  The reason I wrote this is not for you to believe what I heard from social media or bible scholars. I may be doubtful myself. The reason is to encourage us to know the urgency of Jesus second coming, and to tell our family and friends about him.  This is something that the bible asked us to do. Paul said  “You are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief… let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober.”   (1 Thess 5:1-6) .  Jesus Himself gave us the actual signs of his coming in  Matthew 24:3-8 , and warn us to be ready with the Parable of Ten Virgins...

We should not be shy to tell them that believers will be raptured to heaven before the tribulation as God doesn't want His children to suffer the disasters, wars and persecution. Even if they don't believe us, when the rapture happens, they are more likely to believe what we said. They can become believers during the tribulation . The tribulation is not just a punishment of unbelievers, but ...
