... be on the increase because of the times we are living in. Do you believe it is sound doctrine or false doctrine? Would God remove his people before the Great Tribulation or subject them to its' wrath? My reading supports either scenario.
What do you believe..?

Those Who Died in Christ
13 But awe do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who bare asleep, so that you will not grieve as do cthe rest who have dno hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, aeven so God will bring with Him bthose who have fallen asleep 1in Jesus.
15 For this we say to you aby the word of the Lord, that bwe who are alive 1and remain until cthe coming of the Lord, will not precede dthose who have fallen asleep.
16 For the Lord aHimself bwill descend from heaven with a 1cshout, with the voice of dthe archangel and with the etrumpet of God, and fthe dead in Christ will rise first.
17 Then awe who are alive 1and remain will be bcaught up together with them cin the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always dbe with the Lord.
18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.

is I thess about the end or about the Parousia another name for the rapture? which is never directly named in the scriptures'--All it changes is the peripherals as the catching up remains the same as does the ress of the dead.

We are currently living in the Church Age (Romans 11:25) that period of time from Pentecost until the Rapture during which God has extended his invitation to be part of God’s Kingdom beyond the Jews.

Any indication of the length of time for this period? I know the Bible is usually not specific with time, somewhere there may be a indication.
No time is specified

Even Jesus said that he did not know when.
The time between Rapture and Tribulation is when the anti christ will come.
Thank you Randy.

It's not a matter of "sound" or "false" ..

It's simply a matter of interpretation, basic core beliefs and how you read the scriptures. Everyone feels their interpretation is the correct one. However, most everyone also feels that "we see through a glass, darkly" as Paul said. That means we don't truly understand it all. We only understand partially. Where we get in trouble is when we think our darkness is better than than other peoples darkness.
