Q&A9 - BEMA TRANSPORT

Q - If there are two Raptures, is it possible for Believers to be left behind both times?

A - I have always been guided by the assertion that the main purpose of the Ingathering Wheat Harvest later in the Tribulation was to transport the balance of the Body of Christ to the Bema Throne (judgment of ALL of the Brethren in Romans 14:10). I see this judgment having to happen at His throne in the heavenlies (Revelation 4:2) before Yeshua can return with the saints (Jude 1:14) to have the goats and sheep judgment here on Earth (judgment of the nations in Matthew 25:31-32).

From this perspective, I don't see how any Believer can be left behind at the second Rapture. Some may actually wish they could be left behind, as they know they are in trouble, but I rather imagine they will be forcefully taken, as they have been subpoenaed by the Judge!
