On the Second Coming of Christ and the end of time
The 'rapture doctrine' is not classical Protestant doctrine.
The second coming will likely involve aspects of time that challenge our limited perception of time. I.e. when eternity breaks into a perceived linearity of time it most likely is not something that can even be known while still in the flesh.
Sort of like a sucker punch in the ghetto. In a micro second your flesh is out.
Human beings imagine having more power than they will have when the end comes. Like a man who is about to serve a prison sentence. He thinks he's still in control. The prison guards just grin.
ON THE ATHEISTS WHO ARE CURRENTLY MOCKING HUNGER WHILE THEY HAVE A FULL BELLY
I love the C. S. Lewis quote about atheists, how the world is a big trap for atheists. Atheists have to be constantly on guard not to engage any influence that develops them and gives them discernment that there is transcendent truth and reality beyond what can be grasped by their five senses. Atheists in other words have to be constantly on guard to remain shallow.

I like CS Lewis but I doubt he got that one right. Athiests are missing a particular organ or apparatus so they need make no effort to guard or protect their position. It's fate for the majority. One or two get touched by the Spirit but most are already sealed. They don't get it and nothing reaches them. I know plenty of athiests, I get on well with them. they believe they have it sorted, just like everyone lese thinks they have it sorted too.
OK, the true reprobates among them, but the most seeming reprobate can see the light. Without seeing it in terms of predestination and effectual calling I think it is a fair observation that atheists tend to be astonishingly shallow.
In fairness to C. S. Lewis here is the quote:
"A young man who wishes to remain a sound Atheist cannot be too careful of his reading. There are traps everywhere -- 'Bibles laid open, millions of surprises,' as Herbert says, 'fine nets and stratagems.' God is, if I may say it, very unscrupulous." – Surprised by Joy
