Well, the title is self-explanitory. Just say when, where, etc.
Personally, I hope it happens sometime soon, but then again, I think I will just let God and Jesus decide.

Haha, nice one Tangled.
Personally, I think the rapture will occur sometime near the middle or end of the Tribulation. G-d has never just made it that easy that we get to skip all the hardships. Plus, if all the Christians were gone, I really don't see the point of having the Tribulation and all that Revelation stuff happen anyways... The Satan already has dominion (since Christianity left) over the world, so what's the point of the beasts and the rule of the saints and all that.

I agree with the two above me. Nobody truly knows, only God (the Father) knows. However, Jesus said that when the gospel has been preached to all nations that He will return. He also said something about desolation in the Holy City (referring to Jerusalem, I believe). He also told of lots of earthquakes, famines, natural disasters, things out of place (ex. red-color moon, dark sun, etc.), and many false prophets as a sign of the Second Coming. Be on watch, though, it could be tomorrow. I'm not saying it will be, I'm saying it could be. That's why we need to keep watch, as Jesus said.

of course only God knows the comming of the rapture... so it could be at any time today, tomorrow, next week, month, or year, so we've got to be ready.

Christ said that no one knows but The Father, and He included Himself in the noone

I'm a supporter of the Post-Tribulation view however it doesn't matter to me when the rapture is coming before or after the Tribulation. It annoys me when Dispensationists strictly hold to Pre-Tribulation view and are not willing to consider the Pro-Tribulation view.

Well... The Bible says that noone will see it coming. It will just happen. We should not even be waisting our brain power guessing such a thing. What we are to do is to be always prepared. Saving and being saved.
However, I, personally, don't want The Rapture to happen anytime soon. Not because I'm afraid for myself, but because I am afraid for others. There are so many people that say they are Christian, but take the wrong path. They are the seed that grows in the thorns. Bearing no fruit.
People are often afraid to witness, too, especially nowadays. What with many people jumping on your back as soon as they find out you're Christian. At least, that's what I've experience. I live in Portland, Oregon, though. It's filled with people who are... overly liberal. to the point where you're pressured into it wherever you go. ]:
Anyways, back on topic. I think it's best not to guess when or where. But to focus your energy on saving those who are not saved. So that when the time comes, you, and others, will be ready. :3

Reformed Baptist http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispensationalism that isnt biblical. ok so i see your point here, but no one will know when Christ returns, it isnt given unto man to know.

Deus Vivit *Rolls Eyes* If you say when it will happen it wont happen then. Wrong. Giving a date doesn't mean you know it'll happen then. It's just a wild guess. If I say "The Rapture will occur sometime between now and infinitely far into the future", that doesn't mean it'll never happen. Of course, I personally believe the end of the world will come about Next Thursday.
