If you are asking a Posttribulationist the answer is no. If you are asking a Midtribulationist the answer is no. If you are asking a Pretribulationist the answer is YES. Although the word "rapture" is not mentioned in The Bible, there are quite a few Scriptures that infer that there will be a departing of Christians and Pretribulationist believe this will occur prior to Matthew 24 or the time of Tribulation for Israel and the unbelieving world. Christians have been judged for their sin (s) and will not face the wrath of God during the Tribulation.
There are more than 7 signs of the end times. Below I will list the major signs that the Bible gives to tell us we are living in the end times. - Increase in Knowledge (Daniel 12:4) - Ability to Enforce the Mark of the Beast (Revelation 13:17) - War (Matthew 24:6-7) - False Christ's and Prophets (Matthew 24:4-5,11) - Natural Disasters (Luke 21:25-26) - Famine (Matthew 24:7) - Pestilences (Matthew 24:7) - Earthquakes (Matthew 24:7) - Christian Persecution (Matthew 24:9-10) - Increase in Sin (Matthew 24:12) - Earth Being Destroyed (Revelation11:18) - Gospel Preached to the World (Matthew 24:14) There are other signs but these are the main ones.
Yes, it is referring to the rapture.Another Answer:The term 'rapture' is not in the Scripture and is a tradition of men. The verse in Matthew is in reference to the 2nd Coming of Jesus to rule on Earth at the blast of the 7th Trumpet. It will be a loud and visible event where the firstfruits will rise from their graves or on the earth to meet their King in the sky. It will not be a secret or silent 'rapture' as some teach since the 19th century.
like the bible says: But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Matthew 24:36 You should repent before the rapture happens
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) does not mention the rapture because it is not a Biblical concept. There are no Bible verses to support the rapture. In fact, the concept of the rapture was first intruduced by the Puritan preacher Cotton Mather in the early 1700's. This is why Catholics, Orthodox, Anglicans, and other traditionally "European" Christian groups have no doctrine of the rapture either. A popular phrase in the Church is "Endure to the End", which references to Matthew 10:22, Matthew 24:13, and Mark 13:13. It reminds members to continue in faith, looking forward to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.
Matthew 24
For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Matthew 24:24
The dream only reflects the dreamer's own interest and study of End-Time prophesy and Scripture. No dreams, no matter how vivid, wide spread or frequent, can be taken as signs that the Apocalypse is about to occur, because numerous Scriptures specifically refute such claims. See Acts 1: 6-7, Matthew 24 and many other texts. Be careful to avoid the temptation to ignore warnings about false prophets.
Finding the ark [Noah's or of the Covenant] isn't mentioned by Jesus in His list of end time signs for which to look in Matthew 24.
I believe your mean Matthew 13:24-33. It is called "The Tares."
There is no spacific date. The bible says No one, not even Jesus or his angels will know the time when Christ returns for his people (the rapture), which marks the beginning of the tribulation. Matthew 24:36 But of that day and hour knows no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
