			== Theories about the Rapture ==

			=== Left Behind ===

			The picture of some being "taken away" and others "left behind" comes from some parables and sayings of Jesus in the [[synoptics]].

			When the terms "taken away" and "left behind" are fitted to the Rapture verse, those who are "taken away" are the lucky ones and those who are "left behind" are doomed to suffer and die. In this sense, those who found a place on Noah's ark were "taken away," while all other living beings were "left behind" to drown.

			The sense of ''some'' of Jesus' sayings is exactly the opposite of this scenario. Those who are "taken" are like soldiers taken captive in battle. They are the losers, and their fate is that of miserable enslavement or death. Those who are "left behind" are the lucky ones who escape the whole sad fate of captivity. They live to fight another day. It is ''the enemy'' who takes them captive and plunges them into misery, not the Lord taking them up into the heavens to preserve them from [[tribulations]].

			=== Before, During, or After the Millenium? ===

			What is the relationship between the Rapture and the [[Millenium]]?

			! Term

			\| Premillenialism
			\| The Rapture comes before the Millenium.
			\|-
			\| Postmillenialism
			\| The Rapture comes after the Millenium.
			\|-
			\| Mid-tribulation
			\| Christians get Raptured after 3.5 of the 7 years of Tribulation, which comes after the Millenium.
			\|-
			\| Amillenarianism
			\| There is no Millenium; the Rapture coincides with Judgment Day.
			\|}

			Using this terminology, Catholic teaching is closest to the '''Amillenarian''' position. The Church does not teach that Christians will be spared the final Tribulation.
