    There is no pre-tribulation rapture, it is not Biblical.

    There is a post-tribulation gathering back to Christ.

    The "pre-tribulation rapture" is a false teaching and this is easy to document

    due to the number of verses that teach that the gathering back to Christ

    happens after the Tribulation not before.

    Matthew 24:29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:”

    Matthew 24:30 “And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.”

    Only God knows the day and time of the rapture , seeing we are in end times right now I don't see where it will be to far away form happening.

    Certain people who have "studied scripture" (Protestants) have been making predictions for several hundred years, every one of them false. Looks like Jesus Christ knew what He was talking about when He said that no-one would know the time - that He would come "like a thief in the night", when we least expect Him. Which is why the original and true Christian Church, the one Church Jesus Christ founded, has never attempted to make such a "prediction".

    There shall be no pre-Tribulatioin Rapture.  When Jesus , not God, makes his public return he will gather the righteous to him.  Not before.  God might announce his son at that time.

    A prophet of God, Ezra Taft Benson, told a young adult conference I attended int he 80s that mine is the generation that must be prepared to meet Christ.  I figure we have from seven to 30 years left before Christ's public return.

    Absolutely, very soon.

    No such thing as the rapture. 

    The belief that faithful Christians will be bodily caught up from the earth, suddenly taken out of the world, to be united with the Lord “in the air.” The word “rapture” is understood by some persons, but not by all, to be the meaning of 1 Thessalonians 4:17. 

    The word “rapture” does not occur in the inspired Scriptures. 

    If all faithful Christians will be bodily caught up from the earth, suddenly taken out of the world, how would you explain this scripture? 

    Psalms 37:29 The righteous will possess the earth, And they will live forever on it. 

     when you die, all good people go to heaven, then if that is so, where do the righteous that live on earth forever come from if all righteous are in heaven.

    Soon? No. People put scripture  together to seemingly say that. Genesis creation, Psalms 90, Hebrews 4:3-11. And, the Bible never mentions a "Rapture". The Hebrew Calendar (the oldest still in use) counts the years from Adam. The year is 5781. That's not close to 6000. Matthew 24:6 No man, nor angel knows the day or hour of His return.

    Jesus is coming back soon but He has said, "No man knows the day or the hour" so that's why nobody can say when

    Doubt it. But it might be a good idea to behave as if he's on His way.
