Yes it does and it will.
The church will be taken out of the world before Gods great judgment falls upon it.
Another answer:Many Christians believe that the "rapture" is false doctrine based on misinterpretations of Scripture, and that the tribulation is already well underway.Moses and Elijah. Both appeared with Christ at his transfiguration during his earthly ministry (His first coming), both did signs and wonders that matched the ones perfromed in the tribulation by the two witness's. There is to be a second coming of Christ, only because he was rejected by the Jewish leadership as the Messiah during his 1st coming (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John), and so he will come again with same like conditions. I.e.,,a Roman Empire will be the world power, the two witness's at the transfiguration during christ first coming will reappear during the tribulation (Moses, and Elijah). Notice that Elijah never died, and Moses body was in contention about between an angel and the Devil (Jude), because "his work was not done yet", and all the wonders and signs in the old testament appeared during the ministries of Moses and Elijah as they will also appear again during the tribulation during the second ministry of Moses and Elijah as the "two witness's". Hope that helps, but there are even more specifics if you would like.
A:The 'Tribulation' is a nineteenth-century theological invention of John Nelson Darby, a British evangelical preacher and founder of the Plymouth Brethren, and is not prophesied or even mentioned in the Book of Revelation.Barbara R. Rossing (The Rapture Exposed) says that the 'Tribulation' has its origins in 1830, when fifteen-year-old Margaret MacDonald attended a healing service, where she was said to have seen a vision of a two-stage return of Jesus Christ. The story of her vision was adopted and amplified by John Nelson Darby, founder of the Plymouth Brethren. The belief that Jesus will come again was not new, and Christians have always taught that Jesus will return to earth and that believers should live in anticipation of his second coming. Darby's new teaching was that Christ would return twice. The first return would be in secret, to "Rapture" his church out of the world and up to heaven, before the Tribulation. Christ would return a second time after seven years of global tribulation for non-believers, to establish a Jerusalem-based kingdom on earth.Revelation does use the word 'tribulation', but always in the sense of affliction and hardships, and never in the sense that Darby proposed. Revelation also frequently usesthe number seven, but never mentions a future seven-year period of tribulation. Like the Rapture, the timetable of a seven-year period of tribulation is a recent development that dates back only to Darby's nineteenth-century system. It does not actually fulfil anything in the Book of Revelation.Answer:Broadly, The Revelation to John teaches us that God will send a great tribulation on the earth (8:1-9:21); God's message will be heard and His kingdom revealed (10:1-11:19); Satan's war against Christ will fail (12:1-13:18); Christ will come to claim faithful believers but will execute vengeance on unbelievers (ch. 14); the last judgment will reveal God's justice (ch. 15-16); earthly powers who support the antichrist face God's judgment (17:1-19:5); Christ's coming will bring in a new heaven and a new earth (19:6-22:21).
Because it is not yet time for His Second Coming. The final prophecies must happen first, and then His Second Coming will happen in the clouds. Jesus will not come back to earth as He did the first time. Everyone on earth will witness His Second Coming in the clouds with great power and glory. (Mark 13:26). First there has to be a great war, then the Antichrist has to come to make a false peace. Then the Antichrist will rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem and procliam himself as the Christ, for the first three-and-a-half years of his reign. Then for the next three-and-a-half years, he will reveal his true self and wage war against all those who did not accept his mark. Then the Second Coming of Christ will happen in the clouds and Christ will destroy the beast and all those who received his mark on their right hand or forehead. Jesus' Second Coming will not happen until these final biblical prophecies have been fulfilled.
The first advent typically refers to the anticipation of the birth of Jesus Christ in Christian theology, celebrated during the Advent season leading up to Christmas. It symbolizes hope and preparation for the coming of Christ.
A:Barbara R. Rossing (The Rapture Exposed) says that according to one critic, the Rapture has its origins with a young girl's vision in 1830. In Port Glasgow, Scotland, fifteen-year-old Margaret MacDonald attended a healing service, where she was said to have seen a vision of a two-stage return of Jesus Christ. The story of her vision was adopted and amplified by John Nelson Darby, the nineteenth-century founder of the Plymouth Brethren. Although few people belong the the Plymouth Brethren Church, many Christians believe in its founder's most enduring theological creation, the Rapture.The belief that Jesus will come again was not new, and Christians have always taught that Jesus will return to earth and that believers should live in anticipation of his second coming. Darby's new teaching was that Christ would return twice, first in secret to "Rapture" his church out of the world and up to heaven, then a second time after seven years of global tribulation for non-believers, to establish a Jerusalem-based kingdom on earth. None of this is found in Second Thessalonians 2:1-7, which is about the traditional Christian notion of a second coming of Jesus, but not about the Rapture that Darby and his successors defined.AnswerI think this passage of scripture - 2Thess 2:1-7 - is not talking about the rapture but the second coming of Christ, when he returns as judge and king.
OR THe Rapture ?
When it comes it comes
There is no first or second coming in Judaism, that is a strictly Christian concept.
a millisecond comes before a second
It is the predicted coming of Jesus Christ a second time on the earth... after his first reported coming in Jerusalem where he was crucified.
The word that describes Jesus coming to earth is called the rapture. Rapture means, "to transport (a believer) from earth to heaven at the second coming of christ." I hope this helps!
A:The Rapture and Tribulation are theological concepts devised by John Nelson Darby, a British evangelical preacher and founder of the Plymouth Brethren, in 1830. He said that believers would be "raptured" up into heaven and that this event would then be followed by a period of Tribulation of non-believers. He did not really mention any anti-Christ in his scheme, but recent proponents of his theology see a place for the anti-Christ, , a concept that has popped up in different contexts over the centuries and is always bound to arouse interest, after the Rapture.One proponent is Tim LaHaye who wrote a number of books placed in the non-fiction category, as well as writing a best-selling fiction series with Jerry B. Jenkins. In the first of this series, 'Left Behind', we see the anti-Christ seeking to block Christ's plans after the rapture has taken place.Answer:Premillenialists see a tribulation period immediately before the second coming of Christ. Pretribulationalist see the rapture (from the Latin word rapio-meaning caught up; see 1 Thess. 4:17) occurring prior to the tribulation with the church in heaven during the tribulation on earth. Midtribulationists place the rapture at the midpoint of a seven year tribulation period, the church on earth for only the first half of the tribulation. The views see the second coming of Christ in two phases: a secret coming in clouds to rapture the church and His return with the church to reign on earth. Postribulationists hold the church will remain on the earth during the tribulation period. The church will be protected from divine wrath although experiencing tribulation. In any event the antichrist reigns during the tribulation period.
First, second, third, fourth.....
In the second coming first those who are dead will arise , then the sea will give the dead. and lastly the living will be taken up.
Many premillennial Christians advocate the position that the third temple will be constructed before Christ's second coming during the Great Tribulation, when the Antichrist, or the man of sin, will make a covenant (possibly a treaty will be signed between the Jewish people as an arranged accordance) with Israel for 7 years. After the Second Coming of Christ and following the final judgement, the Millennial Temple (AKA the fourth temple) will be constructed subsequently when Israel will be spiritually reunited with the Christians. After the Millennial Kingdom ends as noted in Revelation 20, during the Eternal State, when the New Earth and the New Heavens will be created, temples will no longer be necessary because God will be the primary temple.
The first one is out already and the second should be coming out in august
