The Bible is replete with information about the Second Coming of Christ, which as you know may be described as having "2-parts". The Rapture (Christ coming FOR his Church) could be described as the first part of the Second Coming (The Second Coming is actually about Christ coming WITH his Church about 7 years after the Rapture has occured) as christians will rise to meet Him in the air, and then later will return with Him when he comes to rule and reign here on earth.
People may be surprised to learn that next to the topic of "Salvation", the main topic in the New Testament is the "2nd Coming". One in thirty verses in the New Testament concern the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. If you look at the amount of New Testament scripture about Christ's First Coming (His Advent or birth) v.s. the amount of Scripture about his Second Coming, you'll find that volume of Scripture references concerning His 2nd Coming outnumber by 8:1 (Eight to one!) While He didn't give us the exact date, He explained in detail the signs that will occur just before the Rapture. My point? ....shouldn't you be paying a lot of attention to these Scriptures? (Click for more information on what the Bible says about the Rapture and 2nd Coming).
"in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed." (1 Cor 15)
I recently had the opportunity to see the new "Left Behind"movie just recently released, starring Nicholas Cage. We even took Grandma along to see her first theater-seen movie. My comments about "Left Behind" would echo those that 92 year old Grandma had - "...it sure was good, but really scary!" I would add that it definitely serves to heighten the awareness that teens and adults should have regarding the Return of Jesus Christ for his Church.
