Martyrs of the Colosseum
Many Christians today who are not Catholic or Orthodox, believe that they will one day be raptured suddenly, taken up into Heaven before the seven-year period of tribulation on the earth when the Antichrist comes to rule the world.
The question, food for thought, is: Will you who believe this still believe in Jesus Christ, His commandments and teaching, or will you give up your faith if you are still alive on earth, and the time of tribulation has begun and no rapture has taken place?
The Catholic Church does not teach this rapture and may well be your only place to turn in that grave time, unless you do it now, which is better.
When Jesus Christ does come, there will be a gathering in the air, which is not the same as the rapture as taught by many Christian pastors. Ask yourself, did the first Christians, for hundreds of years, escape the cruelty of Rome by being raptured? Of course not! Many suffered and some became martyrs for their faith. It will be so again.
The Lord is my light and salvation; whom shall I fear? (Psalm 27:1)
