if you are dispensational then u believe in a pre trib rapture. I do not believe the Bible teaches that Jesus is gonna come back then come back. He is just coming back. the Bible teaches there will be a second coming not a third. Jesus comes back at the end of the tribulation just like He said He would in matthew 24. we will be meet Him in the air then escort Him back to the earth where the rock not cut with human hands according to Daniel will become a great mountain in the earth and His kingdom will never end.

A lot of you guys certainly know the Bible better than I do so since I like to keep my Christian beliefs relatively simple. I was taught that one day (no one, not even Jesus knows the exact time) those that accepted His grace will be raptured off of the earth. This will begin the Great Tribulation. This will be a period of tremendous strife for all mankind. Great wars, disasters, and pestilence will rule the earth with the Anti Christ coming to power. Some people, though not many, will accept Christ's Grace during this time. This terrible period will last 7 years. It will end with the return of Jesus to Earth and there will be a great battle between good and evil fought in the Middle East. The name of the site escapes me right now. Of course, Good, led by Jesus will be victorious in this battle and this will start a glorious 1000 year reign on Earth for Jesus and the Earth will be Paradise as it was intended before Adam and Eve committed the original sin.

Now, this is what I was taught and believe. I realize that there are some there are some who believe the Rapture occurs after the Tribulation. Others might not agree with my timeline, but I do think that these times are coming and are closer now than they are far off. Please feel free to give me dissenting opinions.
