QUESTION: So, once again, what did you say were the 12 main differences between the "rapture,"

or "catching away" of the Church, and the Second coming of Messia h to the earth in Jerusalem at the Mt. of Olives ? ANSWER: I'm glad that you ask ed !!! For those interested, we've added them again below: DIFFERENCE #1 between the rapture of the Church, and the Second Coming of Christ to the earth in Jerusalem is: The direction that the Church travels. At the rap ture of the Church, the Church ascends upward to the clouds. At the second comin g of Christ, the Church descends downward to the earth, from heaven. DIFFERENCE #2 between the rapture, and the second coming of Chrst is: The point of departure. At the rapture, the Church departs from the earth. At the second c oming of Christ, the Church departs from heaven. DIFFERENCE #3 between the rapture, and the second coming of Christ is: The desti nation point. At the rapture, the Church is going to meet the Lord "in the air," and "in the clouds," and eventually in heaven, to be with Him forever. At the s econd coming of Christ the destination is Jerusalem upon the earth, when His foo t touches the Mt. of Olives, and splits it in half. There we shall rule and reig n with Him forever and ever. Amen. DIFFERENCE #4 between the rapture of the Church, and the second coming of Christ is this: At the rapture, many will be "left behind." The scripture says: "One s hall be taken, and the other left." At the Second Coming of Christ, however, no one will be "left behind" in heaven. DIFFERENCE #5 between the rapture of the Church and the Second Coming of Christ pertains to the respective placement of the Marraige Supper of the Lamb. The rap ture is PRIOR TO the Marraige Supper of the Lamb. The Second Coming of Christ is AFTER the Marraige Supper of the Lamb. DIFFERENCE #6 between the rapture of the Church, and the Second Coming of Chris t is: At the rapture, there is no scriptural evidence whatsoever of any unsaved person actually seeing the Lord Himself. At the second coming of Christ, the Bib le says that "every eye shall see Him." All unsaved people will see Christ when He actually returns to earth. At the rapture, which takes place "in the clouds," as we have said, there is no evidence of the unsaved sseing Him. DIFFERENCE #7 between the rapture and the Second Coming of Christ to the earth p ertains to the death of unsaved people. At the rapture of the Church, there are no deaths reported in scripture of unsaved people. At the second coming of Chris ...t, Messiah will be returning to end the war of all wars, the battle of Armegg edon, in the valley of Megiddo. From the top of Mt. Carmel, one can look down up on the future battlefield scene, where the scripture says the blood flow of the dead and wounded will be up to the horses bridles in depth. The Bible says that the armies of Anti-Christ shall be destroyed "by the brightness of His coming." DIFFERENCE #8 between the rapture and the Second Coming of Christ is war (or the absence of it). At the rapture of the Church, no war is mentioned. At the Secon d Coming of Christ, the Lord returns with His armies of saints and angels to res cue Israel from certain destruction, and the brink of annihilation, at the hands of all of the armies of the world gathered against her. DIFFERENCE #9 between the rapture of the Church and the Second coming of Christ is: The intent of Christ Himself. At the rapture, the Lord returns FOR HIS CHURC H, and "gathers them" unto Himself. At the Second Coming of Christ, the Lord RET URNS WITH HIS CHURCH, that they may accompany Him to His mission on earth. There are two different intentions involved. DIFFERENCE #10 between the rapture of the Church and the Second Coming of Christ

is: The rapture is totally "celestial," that is "in the sky." There is no evide nce of Messiah's foot ever touching earth at the rapture of the Church, but it i ...s "in the air," and "in the clouds." The Second Coming of Christ is "terresti al." While it begins in heaven, the Second Coming of Christ ends with the Lord's return to earth, where His foot touches the Mt. of Olives at Jerusalem, and the mountain splits in half. I have stood atop that mountain more than one time, ne ar where the Lord's foot will touch. One can view Bethany to one side, and the w alls of Jerusalem to the other, with an incredible view. The Second coming of Ch rist will be "terrestial." The rapture will be "celestial." DIFFERENCE #11 between the rapture of the Church, and the Second Coming of Chri st, is: White horses. In the rapture, no white horses are mentioned. At the Seco nd Coming of Christ in Revelation 19, white horses are mentioned. Difference #12 between the rapture of the Bride of Christ, and the Second Coming of Christ to earth, with His beloved, is: The direction to the Marraige Supper. At the rapture, the Church is going TO THE MARRAIGE SUPPER, and is still the es poused. At the Second Coming of Christ, the Lord is RETURNING TO EARTH FROM THE MARRAIGE SUPPER, WITH HIS NEW BRIDE, THE BRIDE OF CHRIST, which is the Church. A t the rapture we are on our way there. At the Second Coming of Messiah, we are o n our way back from the Marraige Supper.
