When the Rapture comes- all the children leave

[Zen Badger]

Rapture verses-
Prominent would be 1st Corinthians 15:51-53
"Behold, I show you a mystery-we shall not all sleep (die), but we shall all be changed- in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump, for the trumpet shall sound and the dead in Christ shall be raised incorruptible (immortal) and we shall be changed. For this corruptible (decay-able) must put on incorruptible and this mortal must put on immortal."

Second would be in the Letters to the Churches in the book of Revelation 3:10 - (the church of Philadelphia -meaning -brotherly love)
"Because you have kept the word of My patience, I will keep you from the hour of testing that is coming upon the whole earth to test them that dwell upon the whole earth."

Note that in the Letters to the churches, only one group is not reproved on any way, whereas the other 5 churches were reproved, and the last one (Laodiocia) was told it would be "Spit out". Laodiocia means -judging by the people- very close to democracy.

Jesus gave an illustration of His return in the parable of the ten virgins who were to meet one groom.
5 had insufficient oil- a symbol of the Holy Spirit.
While they were out to buy more- the groom came. They were left behind.
This parable of half the the virgins being ready and half not, coincided with the Letters to the Churches where all of Philadelphia go up while none of Laodiocia go and a part of the others go.

Note that the Laodiocian group is offered intimate fellowship as the Lord is "Knocking at the door"...

Another verse that intimates the sequence of Jesus' return, is where He said it would be like the days of Noah when He COMES, and would be like the days of Lot when He is REVEALED. 2 different words describing different events:
Comes= Catching away/ Rapture
Revealed = 2nd Coming
Noah was lifted up over the judgment.
Lot was removed from the immediate area of judgment and stayed on terra firma.

But nothing actually saying that all the good little Christians will be carried up to heaven.
Just a bunch of vague passages that you've decided to interpret that way.
Good-o.
