Two Raptures Indeed
There are two raptures. The first occurs about the time of the great conflagration where a third of mankind is killed by the fire, the smoke, and the brimstone instigated by forces once bound at the great river Euphrates. Those who are true Christians, those who remain, awaiting with anticipation the second coming of the Lord shall be caught up in the air with Him.
This is evidenced by the description of those who survived the great conflagration. Their description in Revelation 9:20-21 cannot include those who we know to be true believers who have exhibited faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. [1] The great conflaguration (Rev. 15-19), and this great apostasy that follows occures before the arrival of the two witnesses, and before the time of the beasts, that later of which is that times, times and half of time spoken of by the Prophet Daniel, and again by our Lord in his Olivet Discourse.
The second is a pre-wrath harvest of tribulation Saints who make it to the end, where thereafter during the Day of the Lord, bowl judgments are poured upon unbelieving mankind and castings are delivered upon the demonic..
Why do I claim a second pre-wrath rapture after the
tribulation of those days? Simple.
We have been told that we,
believers in Y’shua Ha Messiah, are not destined for wrath.
“And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle. And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe. And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped. And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.” [Rev 14-18, KJV]

These are perhaps the saddest two verses in the entire
Bible. “And the rest of the men which were not
killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they
should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone,
and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: Neither repented they
of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of
their thefts.” [Revelation 9:20-21, The King James Version (Authorized)] “Rest of men,” that is, every soul who survived
the killing of one third of mankind by the fire, the smoke and the brimstone
instigated by forces once bound at the great river Euphrates (Islam).
“Repented not of the works of their hands,” a description of those who cannot
include true Christians who “are alive and remain [unto the coming of the Lord]
shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the
air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” [1
