    Lost 1, My response to you didn't attach to this thread, so am duplicating it here as well.

    These verses have nothing to do with the Church. Jesus was speaking to His disciples about what it would be like in the days after He leaves for Heaven until the last days during the pouring out of God's Anger. Its immediate reference is to the Jews, as can be seen in verses 6, 12, 20, 21, 24. The Church is not in this picture, as also in Matthew 24 & Mark 13. However, in these chapters (discourses by Jesus), there is also reference to the coming Great Tribulation that will affect all the world, with the Anti-Christ impersonating Jesus & also the Wrath of God being poured upon all unbelievers. The apostle Paul in his letters then spoke about the Church's removal prior to the outpouring of God's Judgement, but this was not proclaimed in the Gospel, simply because the Christ's Church did not exist at that time.

    1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 & 5:2, 4

    2nd Peter 3:12-14

    For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

    Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

    Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

    Comment: we are waiting for the fullness of the Gentiles to be completed. Be paitient and be LOOKING for Jesus.

    Matthew 24 explains we're going to see and go through some: signs of the times.

    We're seeing it now so don't think it's a long process.
