What triggers the rapture according to Romans 11:25?
Christ will come for the Church the moment the Body of Christ is complete—when the last Gentile or Jew is saved. This is the secret Paul addresses in Romans 11:25, where he says believers should not be ignorant of it. The completion of the Body triggers the rapture.
Les teaches that no one can predict the exact year—not five years or a hundred—but we know Christ is coming. The rapture is triggered when the Body of Christ is complete: when the last Gentile or Jew is saved, then Christ will come for the Church. Les then turns to Romans 11:25, where Paul tells believers not to be ignorant of this secret. He explains that ignorance is simply a lack of teaching, not a lack of brain power, using the example of electricity. This truth is for every common believer, not just preachers or seminarians, so all should drop their ignorance and pick up the wisdom of God's Word.
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.
