Les Feldick Bible Study

What triggers the rapture or the coming of Christ for the Church?

The coming of Christ for the Church is triggered when the Body of Christ is complete. That completion occurs when the last Gentile or Jew is saved. The timing in years is unknown, but the fact is certain, and Christ will come immediately upon that completion.

Les teaches that while no one can predict whether Christ will return in five years or a hundred, His coming is certain. The trigger is the completion of the Body of Christ: when the last Gentile or Jew is saved, the Body is complete, and then Christ will come for the Church. Les then turns to Romans 11:25, where Paul writes that he does not want brethren ignorant of this secret, and explains ignorance as a lack of teaching, not a lack of intelligence.

Romans 11:25

For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
