The Rapture Puzzle

The problem is that the Lord never seems to fulfill His prophecies in a way that everyone is expecting.When Christ first came to earth, all of the Jewish people were expecting their Messiah at that time.They were looking for Him. They knew the 69 weeks of Daniel were about to end and they wereanticipating their Messiah to show up any day. Yet, almost all of them missed Him when He came –especially the religious leaders. They had too many preconceived ideas of what the Messiah wassupposed to be that they missed Him. And today also, most Christians are unaware of the times inwhich we live because they are so certain that a temple must first be built in Israel and a 7-year peacetreaty signed. Most believers also think the rapture takes place before all of these events, so there islittle need to watch for the prophecies to be fulfilled before the Rapture occurs.20
