Bible Texts:
Yes, the church
of The Lord Jesus Christ, will have been secretly raptured up to
heaven for some 7 years. What follows on earth is the Tribulation
period. The Tribulation ends with Armageddon and the visible
return of The Lord Jesus, with throngs of angelic military force,
from heaven.
Joshua 5:13-15 NLT
13 When Joshua
was near the town of Jericho, he looked up and saw A Man standing in
front of him with sword in hand. Joshua went up to Him and demanded,
“Are you friend or foe?”
14 “Neither
one,” He replied. “I am The Commander Of The Lord’s Army.” At
this, Joshua fell with his face to the ground in reverence. “I am
at your command,” Joshua said. “What do you want your servant to
do?”
15 The
Commander Of The Lord’s Army replied, “Take off your sandals, for
the place where you are standing is holy.” And Joshua did as he was
told.
Matthew 16:27 KJV
For The Son Of
Man shall come in the glory of His Father with His angels; and then
He shall reward every man according to his works.
Matthew 24:31 KJV (Be
sure to read the whole chapter.)
27 For as the
lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so
shall also the coming of The Son Of Man be.
28 For wheresoever
the carcass is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
(A sign of
death and destruction.)
29 Immediately
after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and
the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from
heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall
appear the sign of The Son Of Man in heaven: and then shall all the
tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see The Son Of Man coming
in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And He shall
send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall
gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven
to the other.
Matthew 25:31-46 KJV (Be
sure to read the whole chapter.)
31 When The Son
Of Man shall come in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him,
then shall He sit upon The Throne Of His Glory:
32 And before
Him shall be gathered all nations: and He shall separate them one
from another, as
A Shepherd
divideth His sheep from the goats:
33 And He shall
set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left.
34 Then shall
The King say unto them on His right hand, Come, ye blessed of My
Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of
the world:
35 For I was an
hungered, and ye gave Me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave Me drink: I
was a stranger, and ye took Me in:
36 Naked, and
ye clothed Me: I was sick, and ye visited Me: I was in prison, and ye
came unto Me.
37 Then shall
the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungered,
and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38 When saw we
thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
39 Or when saw
we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40 And the King
shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye
have done it unto one of the least of these My brethren, ye have done
it unto Me.
41 Then shall
He say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from Me, ye cursed,
into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and His angels:
42 For I was an
hungered, and ye gave Me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave Me no
drink:
43 I was a
stranger, and ye took Me not in: naked, and ye clothed Me not: sick,
and in prison, and ye visited Me not.
44 Then shall
they also answer Him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungered, or
athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not
minister unto thee?
45 Then shall
He answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it
not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to Me.
46 And these
shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into
Life eternal.

stood by them in white apparel;
11 Which also
said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this
same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in
like manner as ye have seen Him go into heaven.

the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
Jude 1:14,15 KJV
14 And Enoch
also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, The
Lord cometh with ten thousands of His saints,
15 To execute
judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of
all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all
their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.

At Christ's second coming (Christ 's birth, being the first.), 7
years of Tribulation, a time filled with the rule of Satan, the

and hell, will come to a close, ending with a battle to end all
battles, Armageddon. This is when The Lord will make His second
coming to earth.
