No. It is the most skeptical answer.

Re: Do you believe that youll live to see the Rapt

My husband's grandmother has always said she wants to be alive when Jesus returns.

She just had her 105th birthday. Which makes me think He's going to answer that prayer of hers!

Re: Do you believe that youll live to see the Rapt

not sure,
felt at one time a certainty. Now I feel like it may possibly stretch beyond my lifetime, though it is certainly a possiblity when you consider things that continue to take shape in Israel, considering microchipping technology and the intended purposes, the stated goals of a global economy, and by extension a global government whether under the UN banner, or just an ultra powerful EU style superpower. Etc, Etc.

Anyway, I think only a fool would say it is not coming upon us, whether 10,20,50 or 100,200 years He is coming back.

And if He doesn't in my lifetime, my goal is to die ready to meet Him, nothing else matters.

Re: Do you believe that youll live to see the Rapt

I was saved at the age of 17 and expected the rapture to happen at any moment. I later was baptized in Jesus' name and received the Holy Ghost Baptism. Over the years I have expected to hear that voice like a trumpet bidding me to "come up hither," but it has not happened yet. As far as I understand the Word there is nothing that has to happen before the rapture can take place. I am now 70 years old and I am still expecting to be caught up before dying. I am, however, enough of a realist to admit that it may not happen in the next few years of my life time. But I welcome His coming whether I am among the dead in Christ who rise first or among those who are alive and remain until His coming.

Re: Do you believe that youll live to see the Rapt

I believe I will be alive to see the Rapture. I believe I will have an active part in that great catching away of the Saints.

Re: Do you believe that youll live to see the Rapt

Could the end come in my life time? Sure, if things weren't looking so good... With all the "Christians" so-called, there is not going to be any one world religion anytime soon. If we go by the OP pre-trib scenario, Baptists, AGers, and other trinitarians are left behind, and they're not going to stand for any "Nicolea Carpathia"...
