Dear Doves,

 

The raptured Gentile Church has "the court"  "outside the temple" "in the holy city" in heaven reserved for it "for forty-two months".

 

Revelation 11:2

"But leave out the court which is outside the temple, and do not measure it, for it has been given to (reserved for) the Gentiles. And they will tread the holy city underfoot for forty-two months."

 

We BEGIN our forty-two month stay in "the court" in heaven THE DAY we are raptured.  Then at the END of our forty-two month stay we leave with the Lord to retiurn to the earth at His Second Coming  to reign on earth for 1,000 years.

 

The entire time that we are in heaven the forty-two month long 'wrath of God tribulation' is happening here on the earth. Therefore, we are raptured forty-two months before the Second Coming of the Lord just before the 3 1/2 year long 'wrath of God tribulation' begins.

 

According to Your Word, come Lord Jesus!
