THe thing that I have come to realize is this...The dead have already risen...God said to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord...He also said that he is the God of the living not the dead, and the thief hanging on the cross who accepted Christ was told that THIS day you would be with HIM in paradise. Therefore the dead are already raised and will not come from the grave. There will be no need for this body, they have already discarded it. I too have come to believe that there is no Rapture...those who can not see it must be those who have not ear to hear nor eye to see. The False Christ comes at the 6th trump and Christ at the 7th. We will be here and will not fly away. One question to possibly help those with trouble seeing this I have always had a problem with the scripture that talks about doing things orderly. That God is not the author of confusion...why then when He returns would He create Chaos? It is not His Nature. so if not His Nature what is...to tell His loved ones what to expect.
