Martin: You always say that the snatching away can happen “two and a half minutes from now or this Saturday.” Please explain 1 Thess. 4:15-16 “For this are we saying to you by the word of the Lord that we the living, who are surviving to the PRESENCE of the Lord should by no means outstrip those who are put to repose, for the Lord Himself will be descending from heaven with a shout of command, with the trump of God and the dead in Christ will rise first. There upon we the living who are surviving, shall at the same time be snatched away together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air.” This verse is saying, in no uncertain terms, that both the living and the dead in Christ are not snatched away until Christ’s presence. To me it seems impossible to be snatched away in two and a half minutes from now if we are not snatched away until He appears! Are there more than one appearance, or snatching aways, or more than one group of believers? Please explain.
