What is Rapture

This is such a topic which every christian and believer is eagerly waiting for, in this way following are several views about this topic.
Christianity isn't a "feeling" or "something to be". It's a way of life. It is giving your life over to God who sacrificed His only Son so that we might not perish. Being a Christian means to have faith and believe without actually seeing.
It is written in the Bible that Jesus will come back and Rapture (take up) His Church in the last days, sometime near the end of the Great Tribulation. Will you be ready?

Do you know what The Rapture is? Christ coming back to take up His Church is mentioned in the Bible a few times. However, the word "Rapture" is not used in the Bible. Here is the dictionary's definition of the word RAPTURE:* The carrying of a person to another place or sphere of existence.* The Rapture, Theology. the experience, anticipated by some fundamentalist Christians, of meeting Christ midway in the air upon his return to earth.* Archaic. The act of carrying offThe Bible warns us that Jesus will return like a Thief in the Night:1 Thessalonian 5:1-3 (New International Version):1 Now, brothers, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, 2 for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. 3 While people are saying, "Peace and safety," destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

Ten Commandments

I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
7 Thou shalt have none other gods before me.
8 Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth:
9 Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,
10 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.
11 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
12 Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee.
13 Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work:
14 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou.
15 And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the LORD thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the LORD thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day.
16 Honour thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
17 Thou shalt not kill.
18 Neither shalt thou commit adultery.
19 Neither shalt thou steal.
20 Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbour.
21 Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbour's wife, neither shalt thou covet thy neighbour's house, his field, or his manservant, or his maidservant, his ox, or his ass, or any thing that is thy neighbour's.
The above is from the KJV version of the Bible from Deuteronomy chapter 5.

07 Gifts of The Holy Spirit

Wisdom - With the gift of wisdom, we see God at work in our lives and in the world. For the wise person, the wonders of nature, historical events, and the ups and downs of our lives take on deeper meaning. The matters of judgment about the truth, and being able to see the whole image of God. Lastly being able to see God in everyone and everything everywhere.
Understanding - With the gift of understanding, we comprehend how we need to live as a follower of Jesus Christ. A person with understanding is not confused by all the conflicting messages in our culture about the right way to live. The gift of understanding perfects a person's speculative reason in the apprehension of truth. It is the gift whereby self-evident principles are known, Aquinas writes.[4]
Counsel (right judgment) - With the gift of counsel/right judgment, we know the difference between right and wrong, and we choose to do what is right. A person with right judgment avoids sin and lives out the values taught by Jesus. The gift of truth that allows the person to respond prudently, and happily to believe our Christ the Lord
Fortitude (Courage) - With the gift of fortitude/courage, we overcome our fear and are willing to take risks as a follower of Jesus Christ. A person with courage is willing to stand up for what is right in the sight of God, even if it means accepting rejection, verbal abuse, or even physical harm and death. The gift of courage allows people the firmness of mind that is required both in doing good and in enduring evil, especially with regard to goods or evils that are difficult.
Knowledge - With the gift of knowledge, we understand the meaning of God's Revelation, especially as expressed in the life and words of Jesus Christ. A person with knowledge is always learning more about the scriptures and tradition. The gift of knowledge is more than an accumulation of facts.
Piety (Reverence) - With the gift of reverence, sometimes called piety, we have a deep sense of respect for God and the church. A person with reverence recognizes our total reliance on God and comes before God with humility, trust, and love. Piety is the gift whereby, at the Holy Spirit's instigation, we pay worship and duty to God as our Father, Aquinas writes.
Fear of the Lord (Wonder and Awe) - With the gift of fear of the Lord we are aware of the glory and majesty of God. A person with wonder and awe knows that God is the perfection of all we desire: perfect knowledge, perfect goodness, perfect power, and perfect love. This gift is described by Aquinas as a fear of separating oneself from God. He describes the gift as a "filial fear," like a child's fear of offending his father, rather than a "servile fear," that is, a fear of punishment. Also known as knowing God is all powerful. Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom (Prov 1:7) because it puts our mindset in its correct location with respect to God: we are the finite, dependent creatures, and He is the infinite, all-powerful Creator.

What is the Tribulation

All the mentioned detail is from following website about a confusing topic of Tribulation Period. http://www.gotquestions.org/tribulation.html

Question: "What is the Tribulation? How do we know the Tribulation will last seven years?"

Answer: The tribulation is a future seven-year period of time when God will finish His discipline of Israel and finalize His judgment of the unbelieving world. The church, made up of all who have trusted in the person and work of the Lord Jesus to save them from being punished for sin, will not be present during the tribulation. The church will be removed from the earth in an event known as the rapture (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; 1 Corinthians 15:51-53). The church is saved from the wrath to come (1 Thessalonians 5:9). Throughout Scripture, the tribulation is referred to by other names such as the Day of the Lord (Isaiah 2:12; 13:6-9; Joel 1:15; 2:1-31; 3:14; 1 Thessalonians 5:2); trouble or tribulation (Deuteronomy 4:30; Zephaniah 1:1); the great tribulation, which refers to the more intense second half of the seven-year period (Matthew 24:21); time or day of trouble (Daniel 12:1; Zephaniah 1:15); time of Jacob's trouble (Jeremiah 30:7).An understanding of Daniel 9:24-27 is necessary in order to understand the purpose and time of the tribulation. This passage speaks of 70 weeks that have been declared against “your people.” Daniel's people are the Jews, the nation of Israel, and Daniel 9:24 speaks of a period of time that God has given “to finish transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy.” God declares that “seventy sevens” will fulfill all these things. This is 70 sevens of years, or 490 years. (Some translations refer to 70 weeks of years.) This is confirmed by another part of this passage in Daniel. In verses 25 and 26, Daniel is told that the Messiah will be cut off after “seven sevens and sixty-two sevens” (69 total), beginning with the decree to rebuild Jerusalem. In other words, 69 sevens of years (483 years) after the decree to rebuild Jerusalem, the Messiah will be cut off. Biblical historians confirm that 483 years passed from the time of the decree to rebuild Jerusalem to the time when Jesus was crucified. Most Christian scholars, regardless of their view of eschatology (future things/events), have the above understanding of Daniel's 70 sevens.With 483 years having passed from the decree to rebuild Jerusalem to the cutting off of the Messiah, this leaves one seven-year period to be fulfilled in terms of Daniel 9:24: “to finish transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy.” This final seven-year period is known as the tribulation period—it is a time when God finishes judging Israel for its sin.Daniel 9:27 gives a few highlights of the seven-year tribulation period: “He will confirm a covenant with many for one 'seven.' In the middle of the 'seven' he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on a wing of the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him.” The person of whom this verse speaks is the person Jesus calls the “abomination that causes desolation” (Matthew 24:15) and is called “the beast” in Revelation 13. Daniel 9:27 says that the beast will make a covenant for seven years, but in the middle of this week (3 1/2 years into the tribulation), he will break the covenant, putting a stop to sacrifice. Revelation 13 explains that the beast will place an image of himself in the temple and require the world to worship him. Revelation 13:5 says that this will go on for 42 months, which is 3 1/2 years. Since Daniel 9:27 says that this will happen in the middle of the week, and Revelation 13:5 says that the beast will do this for a period of 42 months, it is easy to see that the total length of time is 84 months or seven years. Also see Daniel 7:25, where the “time, times, and half a time” (time=1 year; times=2 years; half a time=1/2 year; total of 3 1/2 years) also refers to “great tribulation,” the last half of the seven-year tribulation period when the beast will be in power.For further references about the tribulation, see Revelation 11:2-3, which speaks of 1260 days and 42 months, and Daniel 12:11-12, which speaks of 1290 days and 1335 days. These days have a reference to the midpoint of the tribulation. The additional days in Daniel 12 may include the time at the end for the judgment of the nations (Matthew 25:31-46) and time for the setting up of Christ's millennial kingdom (Revelation 20:4-6).

Three views about the rapture

Author: Jim Hodge
The second coming of [Jesus] is quite possibly the most important doctrine contained in the Scriptures. It is said that more space is given in the New Testament to the second coming, than to the atonement. Where the atonement is mentioned once, the second advent is referred to twice. Where the first coming of [Jesus] is mentioned once, His second coming is mentioned eight times.
Redemption is not complete until [Jesus] returns to reward His church and pronounce judgement on an unbelieving world. The second coming of Jesus is an absolutely indispensable doctrine in the Biblical teaching of redemption. Apart from the glorious return of [Jesus], God's work will forever be incomplete.
The controversy today rests not in the fact of [Jesus'] return, for almost all conservative theologians expect a literal, visible, bodily return of [Jesus] in the like manner of His earthly departure (Acts 1:11). The controversy arises when we are presented with the question of when [Jesus] will return.
The theologian Augustus H. Strong summarizes his thoughts concerning the time as such:
Although [Jesus'] prophecy of this event, in the twenty-fourth chapter of Matthew, so connects it with the destruction of Jerusalem that the apostles and the early Christians seemed to have hoped for its occurrence during their life-time, yet neither [Jesus] nor the apostles definitely taught when the end should be, but rather declared the knowledge of it to be reserved in the counsels of God, that men might ever recognize it as possibly at hand, and so might live in the attitude of constant expectation.
There has been much speculation as to the time of [Jesus'] return. Those who expect a personal return of Jesus agree that it will occur sometime in relation to the seventieth week of Daniel as indicated in the ninth chapter of Daniel. The time is referred to as the Great Tribulation (Matt. 24:21) or the time of Jacob's trouble (Jer. 30:7).
There are three prominent views today concerning the coming of [Jesus] for His saints (rapture). These are classified as pretribulation rapture, midtribulation rapture, and posttribulation rapture.
ONEWe will begin our study[sic] by first examining the least prominent view, that of the midtribulation rapture theory. Advocates of this theory state that the church will be raptured three and one half years after the beginning of the tribulation period or precisely at the time of the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel (Daniel 9:27) and Jesus (Matt. 24:15).
To substantiate this view, midtribulation rapturists try to deny the belief in an imminent return of [Jesus]. Norman B. Harrison writes, We see from the Scriptures that [Jesus] could not have returned in the lifetime of Peter; nor yet in the days of the apostles; nor yet before the reformation; nor yet before the missionary program is completed; nor yet before the apostasy has overtaken us; nor yet before the last days in which we seem to be living.
While it has been attempted to disprove the doctrine of imminence, Scripture consistently teaches that the coming of [Jesus] could be at any time (John 14:2-3; 1 Corinthians 1:7; Philippians 3:20-21; 1 Thess. 1:9-10; 4:16-17; 5:5-9; etc.).
Another argument of the midtribulationist is that the church was promised tribulation and, therefore, can expect to experience the first half of the tribulation period. Many verses are used to substantiate this theory such as Luke 23:27-31; Matt. 24:9-11; and Mark 13:9-13 which are addressed to Israel, as well as John 15:18-19; and 16:1-2, 33, which are addressed to the church. It is argued that because these verses speak of tribulation for the church, it would be logical to assume the church will experience a portion of the Great Tribulation. They often cite Acts 8:1-3; 11:19; 14:22; and Romans 12:12 which refer to actual persecution of the saints as a partial fulfillment of the tribulation to come.
In answer to this argument we must first distinguish between Israel and the church in the economy of God. Israel and the church are two distinct entities in the plan of God and must be so regarded. Those scriptures which promise tribulation to Israel can not be made to teach that the church is to experience the tribulation period. Furthermore, we must observe the usage of the word tribulation in Scripture. In one sense it is used in a non-technical or non- prophetic sense in reference to any time of suffering or testing into which one goes (Matt. 13:21; Mark 4:17; John 16:33; Romans 5:3; etc.). It is also used in a technical or prophetical sense in reference to the whole period of seven years of tribulation (Revelation 2::2 and Matt. 24:29). We must be careful in applying the prophetic reference to the church when in fact it seems to be referring to Israel during the tribulation period.
TWOThe second most common view, and perhaps the oldest is the posttribulation rapture theory. This theory suggests that believers will be raptured at the end of the tribulation period only to return again immediately again when [Jesus] comes to pronounce judgement on the world.
The most common mistake made by supporters of this view is that they avoid a literal interpretation of Scripture and often spiritualize or interpret Scripture allegorically. James McKeever, a leading supporter of posttribulationism says this, "I would encourage you to read the book of Revelation, asking God to show you the spiritual interpretations, which are equally as valid as physical interpretations." To interpret Scripture in such a way is dangerous to say the least.
Mr. McKeever argues that the word "last" is significant in 1 Cor. 15:52. He points out that this last trumpet is synonymous with the last trumpet in Rev. 11:15. He states that because there are no other trumpets recorded in Scripture after this one, this must refer to the rapture at the end of the tribulation. Also, since 1 Thess. 4:16 makes mention of a shout accompanying the trumpet, he feels it is significant to find loud voices (or shouts) at the seventh trumpet in Rev. 11:15.
While this may appear to be a valid argument, a closer look will indicate that this line of reasoning is faulty. First of all, the word "last" may signify that which concludes a program, but is not necessarily the last that will ever exist. Secondly, the trumpet that summons the church is called the trump of God, while the seventh trump is an angel's trumpet. Also we notice that the trumpet in 1 Thessalonians issues in blessing in life, in glory, while the trumpet in Revelation issues in judgement upon the enemies of God.
Another prominent argument supporting posttribulationism is the historical argument. It is said that the idea of a pretribulation rapture did not appear in prophetic interpretation until the nineteenth century. This is illustrated by the fact that many of the early church fathers indicated a belief in a second coming following the tribulation period. George Ladd, a leading posttribulationist supports this view with many non-inspired writings such as the Didache, the epistle of Barnabus, the Shepherd of Hermes, and writings from other church fathers. In addition to this we are told that S.P. Tregelles, a member of the early Plymouth Brethren church, said that the idea of a secret rapture at a secret coming of [Jesus] had its origin in an "utterance" in Edward Irving's church, and this was taken to be the voice of the Spirit.
In reply to the historical argument, we must note that the failure to discern the teaching of the Scripture does not nullify that teaching, and furthermore, the early church lived in light of the belief in an imminent return of [Jesus]. The doctrine of imminency is plainly taught in Scripture in such passages as John 14:2-3; 1 Cor. 1:7; Philippians 3:20-21; 1 Thess. 1:9-10; 4:16-17; 5:5-9; and others.
Posttribulationists will also argue that the church must suffer tribulation and therefore will not be raptured until after the tribulation period. This line of reasoning has already been dealt with, but we must remember that there are two types of usage for the word tribulation: the technical and the non-technical.
One of the major arguments in support of a posttribulation rapture deals with resurrection. Mr. McKeever summarizes this argument as such:
1 Thessalonians 4:16 makes reference to a resurrection of the dead in [Jesus]. Revelation 20:1-6 speaks of the first resurrection. There could not be a resurrection at the beginning of the tribulation, or this one in Revelation 20 could not be the first.
A similar argument by Mr. Ladd is as follows:
Revelation 20 is the only passage which describes the resurrection of martyrs. This passage locates the resurrection both of saints and martyrs at the "revelation" of [Jesus] and not at the "rapture".
Again this appears to be a valid argument. However, it would be wise to examine other portions or Scripture with deal with the resurrection. Chapter 15 of 1 Corinthians deals extensively with the doctrine of resurrection. In verse 23 we see the phrase "But every man in his own order." It is assumed by some that this means that the first resurrection is composed of different groups: church saints, Old Testament saints, and tribulation saints. This passage seems to indicate a natural progression of resurrection. [Jesus] is said to be the "firstfruits" of them that slept. This phase of the resurrection program was accomplished at the time of [Jesus'] resurrection on the third day and marks the beginning of this whole resurrection program.
A second group is introduced by the word "afterward." This word (epeita) signifies a lapse of time of undesignated duration. This would allow for a lapse of time between [Jesus'] resurrection and the resurrection of believers.
Even though there are different times of resurrection, they are still a part of the first resurrection program and are "orders" in that program. Therefore the resurrection of tribulation saints at the time of the second advent does not prove that all who are resurrected unto life are raised at this time.
THREE The third and final theory concerning the rapture deals with a rapture of all believers in this present church age prior to the seven year tribulation period. The key passage for this event is found in 1 Thess. 4:13-18 which describes the resurrection of all born again believers and the meeting of [Jesus] in the air.
Probably the most significant and common of the arguments for this theory deals with the nature of the seventieth week of Daniel (the tribulation period). The "tribulation" describes a period of suffering unsurpassed, "such as was not since there was a nation, no, nor shall be" (Dan. 12:1). The suffering is to be greater than anything that has yet been seen. The very nature of the tribulation period is that of wrath (Rev. 6:16-17,; 11:18; 14:19; Zeph. 1:15, 18). Yet we see in 1 Thess. 5:9 that the church is not appointed unto wrath, but unto salvation by Jesus. The simple use of logic would indicate that the church would have to be gone during this time of wrath.
It is also important to look at God's purpose for this world during the seven year tribulation period. The first great purpose of this time is to prepare the nation Israel for her Messiah. Mal. 4:5-6 tells us that God will send Elijah to preach to prepare Israel for the second advent. The tribulation is primarily Jewish. We see many Scriptures that indicate the "Jewishness" of this time. It is said to the "the time of Jacob's trouble." It concerns "Daniel's people," a "false Messiah," the city of Jerusalem, the twelve "tribes of Israel," the "son of Moses," and flight on the "Sabbath." All of these speak of Israel and prove that the tribulation is a time that God will deal with His ancient people. Another purpose of God at this time is to pour out judgement on unbelieving man and nations Isa. 26:21; 2 Thess. 2:12; Rev. 14:7; 15:4; 16:5-7). God has not appointed His children to wrath, nor to judgement resulting in punishment. Christians will be judged at the judgement seat of [Jesus] (2 Cor. 5:10) but this is not a judgement in the sense of a trial, to determine whether the judged are guilty (lost) or innocent (saved), for all present will be saved. At the cross the believer's sins were judged and punished in the person of his substitute Savior (Isa. 53:6; Rom. 3:25-28; Gal. 3:13; 1 Peter 2:24).
Nowhere in Scripture are we told that God will make special provisions for the church to escape this wrath and judgement during the time of tribulation. The only special provisions we see are for the 144,000 which are of the tribes of Israel (Rev. 7:14). Therefore, it is clear that the church will not be on the earth during this time and has obviously been raptured according to 1 Thess. 4:13-18.
Many Posttribulationists argue that the rapture and revelation of [Jesus] is one and the same event. However, it is important to distinguish the differences between the two events. Emery Bancroft illustrates this fact perfectly:
In the first stage He comes as the "Morning Star" (Rev. 22:16); in the second, as the "Sun of Righteousness" (Mal. 4:1,2). In the first He comes "into the air" (1 Thess. 4:17); in the second, He descends to the Mount of Olives (Zech. 14:3,4). In the first, He comes to receive His bride to Himself (John 14:3); in the second, He comes to be received by repentant Israel (Zech. 12:10). The first stage is called "our gathering together unto Him" (2 Thess. 2:1); while the second stage is called "The revelation of Jesus from heaven" (2 Thess. 1:7).
After examining the major premises of the posttribulation view and the midtribulation view, we must conclude that these views are unwarranted. The pretribulation view is the only view that can be accepted based on a literal interpretation of Scripture.
Truly this is a source of hope, for no person wants to suffer the wrath and judgement of God almighty. We must continually thank God for delivering us from the judgement and tribulation to come, and prepare ourselves for the day that we will meet our Savior in the air.
Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee (Titus 2:13-15).

VATICAN CITY:


Following article is a reference from Pakistan christian Post.

VATICAN CITY: May 16, 2010. (AFP) Tens of thousands pilgrims flocked to the Vatican on Sunday in a rally of support for Pope Benedict XVI as he battles a paedophile priest scandal.
Police estimated the crowd which filled St Peter's Square and Via della Conciliazione, the broad avenue leading to the holy city, at more than 150,000.Some bore banners of support for the embattled head of the Roman Catholic Church saying "Together with the Pope" and "Your Holiness, you are not Alone, the whole Church is with you."The demonstration of support was organised by the Italian Episcopal Conference, two days after Benedict's return from a four-day visit to Portugal which was marked by huge crowds."Today you show the great affection and profound closeness of the Church and the Italian people to the pope and your priests... because, in the commitment to spiritual and moral renewal, we can always do better," Benedict said, addressing the crowd from the balcony of his Vatican apartment."The real enemy to fear and to fight is sin, spiritual evil, which at times, unfortunately, also infects members of the Church," he said.In what may yet be seen as a watershed in his battle against the Church's biggest crisis in decades, a penitent pope said last week en route to Portugal that the problems it faced came not from its enemies, but from sin within the institution itself.Cardinal Angelo Bagnasco, president of the Italian Bishops Conference and archbishop of the northern city of Genoa, led a group prayer focused on the meaning of purification, solidarity, forgiveness and justice.The Church, "faithful to its mission", must be "purified of the sins of its sons", Bagnasco said.Tens of thousands of pilgrims, made up of many Catholic associations, arrived in Rome aboard hundreds of chartered buses and special trains."We came from all over Italy to Saint Peter's to express our affection in a moment that is so difficult for him and the entire Church," said Paola Dal Toso, head of one of the associations that organised the rally."I am here to support the Holy Father in this difficult moment for the Church. He's a good pope who has known how to react to the paedophilia scandals," said Cristian Papachioli, a 25-year-old student priest.Chiara, a 37-year-old from the northern Italian city of Piacenza, said: "We are lucky to have such a committed pope, it's a blessing."The faithful had gathered beneath a cloudy sky below the pope's balcony since early morning, to pray with him during the Regina Coeli, celebrated each Sunday in the weeks ahead of Pentecost."I thank you with all my heart, dear brothers and sisters, for your warm presence," Benedict told them.The Church has for months been embroiled in a series of sex abuse scandals amid allegations that the Vatican had protected paedophile priests from prosecution in several European countries and the United States.The pope's comments that the Church was alone culpable were effectively a reversal of earlier Vatican attempts to blame media sensationalism for its problems and won praise from Vatican watchers.The Holy See said the turnout in Portugal has been a strong public response to attacks on the leader of the world's 1.2 billion Roman Catholics over his handling of the paedophile crisis."The vitality of the people's faith demonstrates great hope, despite internal and external difficulties" facing the Church, Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi said at the end of the visit.
