55WestonRM: The Rapture doesn't exist, everyone will be on earth during this time of trouble. Everyone will have the choice to recieve the mark or not, everyone will be subject to the short tribulation which will occur. When Jesus returns, the rightous living will be lifted up in plain sight for everyone to see, and will be transformed into an eternal being. The same will happen to the rightous dead, they will be resurected, and then transformed. At the same time, God will destroy earth and all of the unrightous living on earth. Then the 1000 years begins, Satan is then "shut up" because he has no one to decieve. Once the 1000 years is up, God will resurect all the unrightous dead, (which is said to be the number of sand on the seashore) and they will be decieved by Satan once again to encircle New Jersulem(the new city which is heaven on earth) and they will all judged according to their works. Because everyone is guilty of sin, God destroys them and turns them to ashes through his hellfire. The same happens to Satan. This is the end of earth as we know it, and eternal peace begins. This isn't private interpretation, this is what the bible states will happen. Read Revelation, you will not find anything about the Rapture, instead you will find exactly what I just explained.
