Good morning Ranb2khz....as believers we all look forward to the Rapture because of course as we know that is the day that all believers that have already died and are in heaven now will get their new glorified bodies...and...the living believers will be called up in their existing body and it to will be glorified! Saved from the horror of the Tribulation! However...if i die today and my spirit / soul as we know goes to be with Jesus until the Rapture happens and we get that glorified body....that is going to be a awesome time hanging out with Jesus praising God waiting for that day. Thinking it will be pretty cool to be a spirit for a period of time...wink! Im in the boat like you mentioned. God giving civilization time to repent of their sins and be saved that all that will can be spared the horrors of hell for all eternity! I sometimes say to people when they say..."Oh come Lord Jesus"....and hear me folks...i get it....but i say...hey if your fed up and tired and ready to go....maybe you should just say "Oh Lord Jesus take me home"...and i get some strange looks sometimes but i say to them....do you not know that probably 85% to 90% of the earths population of 7.6 billion is unsaved and headed to hell...(and hear me folks...there is a difference in calling ones self a christian and being born-again)......so stop focusing on yourself and the world and get out there and tell them about JESUS! Hey...we all know that believers have been hoping for the Rapture for hundreds of years...looking for Jesus to return ever sense he ascended into heaven...but look it. I was born in 1956...and in these past 68 years i wonder how many believers have said "Oh come Lord Jesus"....i got saved in 1996 when i was 40 years old and God the Father...God the Son...God the Holy Spirit helped me put 25 years of drugs and booze and that whole insane lifestyle behind me. If....the Rapture had happened between 1956 and 1996 i would be burning in hell right now....of course there will be some that get saved during the 7 years of the Tribulation...but....probably few and far between....So....the billions that are living on planet earth right now this minute....they still have a chance to repent and call upon the Lord and be saved! So yes....the Rapture will be awesome....but seeing lost souls saved from hell is pretty dad burn awesome as well! You have a awesome day brother!

"The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance"
2 Peter 3:9
