You've probably heard the term 'The Rapture' used at some point in your life, whether it was by a friend, on Tv show, or in church. It likely conjures up images of people who were 'good' or 'model humans' their whole lives floating up into heaven. This is the secular definition of the rapture which is far from the biblical one, although a few factors are the same. The definition from the bible is as follows:
"The Rapture, otherwise known as "the Harpazo" is a Christian religious event in which the believers saved in Jesus Christ and those younger than the accountable age vanish instantly from earth in the "twinkling of an eye" to meet Jesus in the air, to then be taken to heaven." Of course, this definition leaves out the absolute horror that is to follow on the earth in the time known as the 'tribulation'. This is the point in which God Himself intervenes in our planet by sending meteors, earthquakes, plagues and famine upon the planet in an attempt to bring His people - Israel, back to Him.
Whether you disregard the rapture as ancient folk tales, or you believe it absolutely must take place, the truth is that God never lies and therefore it MUST take place one day. If you're even the slightest part inquisitive into why millions of people believe in this 'preposterous' event then you've come to the right place.
With the world collapsing deeper into utter chaos and insanity by the day, the rapture has never been closer! Honestly, everything you see happening around you is the shadow of the events detailed in revelation.
Has it already happened?
Perhaps millions of people have recently vanished without a trace, but you're now questioning whether it really was the rapture or an alien abduction. If so - jump straight into the "Part 7 - Left Behind" section below to help avoid the strong deception which follows the removal of the believing church.
These are the links to every part of my blogged rapture series. If you prefer to download it all in one go and read it in a convenient PDF format, then download it at my 'The Rapture Survival Guide (TRSG)' page.

Do Not Be Deceived!
There will be a strong delusion sent by God Himself that will deceive even the elect. (2 Thessalonians 2:11) This is likely to be some form of alien abduction lie and may even involve signs and lights in the sky. For more information, read my page on Aliens or the "Part 9 - Deception" section of The Rapture Survival Guide below.

A great video explaining the rapture in basic terms and what to do next. The intro is a little long so I recommend starting at: 3:20.
Understanding the Times (19 Mar 2021)
Jan Markell spends the hour with Pastor Barry Stagner. When the Rapture happens, millions will disappear and there will be total confusion and chaos remaining. Scripture says this will be the most horrible time ever, but it is not too late to get saved.
The clips from this segment are from the video above, which I highly recommend watching to the end as well.
Below are sections of my 'Rapture Survival Guide' in blog format.
Blog Part |
Description |
This part goes into what the rapture is and what will happen when it occurs. It contains the links to every other section in this blog and information on how to read the 'Revelation Timeline' diagram. |
|
Here I outline where the term 'rapture' comes from and where it's found in our modern (English) bibles. It contains information on what will happen prior to the rapture and bible verses referencing the rapture. |
|
This section is about the hotly debated topic of 'when' the rapture will occur, whether it's pre, mid or post tribulational or it's already happened. |
|
This is a list of predicted dates and years throughout the ages when the rapture was 'supposed' to happen. |
|
Here I discuss the prerequisites that must take place before the rapture can happen. Just so you know - they have all been fulfilled so it can happen any day now... |
|
Did you know there were 7 raptures throughout the bible? Here I take a look at them all. |
|
This is probably the most pertinent place to start if the rapture has already occured and you've been left behind! It describes what happened and what is about to unfold... |
|
Today there are so many pastors who have strayed from the truth and are now teaching false doctrine. Here you will find a list of pastors who take the bible seriously and are walking the straight and narrow path. |
|
After the rapture there will be an insane amount of confusion and deception circulating around what happened. This section aims to keep you grounded in truth during this turbulent time. |
|
These are the seven steps you should take post-rapture to secure your eternal future with Jesus Christ and to walk the path He has set for you. |
|
The Timeline |
Description |
This is the start of the 'Revelation Timeline' also known as the 'End Times Timeline'. It steps you through the events which are to follow after the rapture in detail so you are prepared for them. |
|
A quick recap of what life after the rapture will be like and how you can walk the narrow path of light when there is only darkness and evil around you. It also describes the rise of the Antichrist, the False Prophet and Babylon the city. |
|
Here I present an overview of the entire tribulation period and the order of the seals, trumpets and bowls. |
|
The first seal releases a rider on a white horse to conqueor nations. |
|
The second seal takes peace from the earth, allowing catastrophic wars to break out between all peoples, tribes and nations. |
|
The third seal casts famine and hyperinflation over all the earth. |
|
The fourth seal allows death and hades to kill a quarter of the population of the earth by diseases and plagues. |
|
In the fifth seal Jesus gives white robes to the martyrs of the earth. |
|
The sixth seal releases a great earthquake on the earth which moved every island and mountain from their place, turns the sun black, the moon blood red, allows the stars to fall to earth and recedes the sky. |
|
At this point in the tribulation 144,000 Jews receive the seal of God on their forehead. |
|
The seventh seal releases noises, thunderings, lightnings and an earthquake onto the planet. |
|
The first trumpet rains hail and fire down mixed with blood, burning a third of the trees up and all the green grass. |
|
The second trumpet calls something like a large mountain or meteor on the ocean and turns a third of it to blood. A third of all living creatures in the sea also die and a third of all ships are destroyed. |
|
The third trumpet releases “Wormwood” – a large meteor which will fall on the rivers and springs of earth making them poisonous. |
|
The fourth trumpet strikes 1/3 of the sun, 1/3 of the moon and 1/3 of the stars so that a third of them was darkened. Days are 1/3 shorter. |
|
The fifth trumpet fills the air with smoke from a pit which blocks out the sun. Locusts (demons) come from the pit and torment those without the seal of God for 5 months. People won't be able to die... |
|
The sixth trumpet releases four angels to kill 1/3 of mankind using a nations army of 200 million strong. |
|
These are the events that occur after the 6th trumpet and before the 7th, such as the seven thunders, John eating the little book and the two witnesses killed and resurrected again. |
|
The seventh trumpet proclaims God’s kingdom and the temple of God was opened in heaven resulting in lightnings, noises, thunderings and an earthquake. |
|
This part details the events of the middle of the tribulation such as the 'Abomination of Desolation', the mark of the beast (666) and the second exodus of the Jews. |
|
The first bowl pours out foul and loathsome sores on everyone with the mark of the beast or worshiped the antichrists image. |
|
The second bowl turns the entire sea to blood and every living creature in it dies. |
|
The third bowl turns all the rivers and springs to blood because the evil have spilt the blood of saints and prophets. |
|
The fourth bowl causes the sun scorch men with great heat. |
|
The fifth bowl plunges the kingdom of the beast into painful darkness and gives everyone in the kingdom of Babylon sores. This is darkness that you can ‘feel’ just like the darkness plague in Egypt back in Exodus. |
|
The sixth bowl dries up the Euphrates river to make way for the kings of the east. Demons go out to the nations of the earth to gather them for the battle with God. |
|
The seventh bowl releases noises, thunderings and lightnings and the biggest earthquake in history which divides Babylon into 3 parts. Every mountain falls, islands move out of place and exceedingly great hail falls from heaven. |
|
The armies of the antichrist gather at Armageddon (Tel-Megiddo) to battle God. |
|
This is the second coming of Jesus, where He purges the world of sin and rules from Jerusalem for 1,000 years. |
|
The millennium is the period of 1,000 years when Jesus reigns over the entire earth with a rod of iron. |
|
This section covers the millennium rebellion, satan's demise and the final judgement of all those who have not previously been judged, known as The Great White Throne Judgement. |
|
Finally, God will create a new heaven and a new earth where those who love the Lord will dwell with Him forever! |
