I now understand why there are those that believe in two Raptures and possibly three. It is based on the 3 different Harvest crops and times in Israel, as taught in the Word. So, I'd like to address the three Harvest.

Yes, there are three harvest but we know that the first, The Barely Harvest was fulfilled at the time of Christ being the First Fruit that arose from the Dead. He, not only led the captive free, which were those in Abraham's Bosom, but they even came back to life and were seen by their families for a short time as a witness to that event. That Harvest has been fulfilled.

The second harvest is the Wheat which includes those of us whom are His. The tares among them will be separated at the harvest. So often we have been taught that the tares are merely bad Christians but it goes much deeper than that. The Tares are those who refuse to repent and are influenced by the Seed-line of Lucifer who occupied this earth the same time as the Seed-line of the Righteous.

It is hard to distinguish the difference between the two because, during their growing season they looked much the same. There was one main difference. At the time of the Harvest...the head of the Wheat bowed while the Tare remained aloof....not bowing, unrepentant, almost in defiance of the Creator of all.

The time for this Harvest is clear in I Thess. 4:16-17 when the the Dead in Christ rise first and then the Living will be changed to meet the Lord in the Air". The next time the Lord is seen, He is seen by every eye, "Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. " Revelation 1:7

Please remember the Book of Revelation is not in chronological order as once it was taught. There are events seen in later chapters that are part of earlier chapters but discussed in the category of seals when the books are first opened. Within that time, there are the trumpets or bowels to emphasis the very same events depending if it is Trumpets of time being discussed or the Bowels being poured out: this is being shown to John. To assume, because John was taken up at the beginning of the book does not mean the ecclesia will be also taken up. John needed to be taken up to show him the events that were to take place. The ecclesia are shown through his writings.

The third is the Grape Harvest, when the grapes will be removed and put into the Winepress of God's Wrath. This is where we get the stories of the Great Reaper with the big ugly Sickle. These Grapes are the very Seed of Lucifer and company (The Tares) whom will see God's Wrath.

And yes, the Wheat is not subject to the Wrath of God but put into the barn (God's place of protection during His Day of the Lord's Wrath)

So, honestly, does the Bible teach three Raptures for the Believers in the End Days? Or is it only One since the Barely is already fulfilled during the Spring Period that covered the earthly walk of Jesus Christ?

I don't think Believers want anything to do with the Grape harvest, which is being described in Matthew 24:40-41, where one is taken and one is left. The one taken is the one taken to the Wine-press of God's Wrath. Do you see how we have been deceived into believing that is a Rapture instead of the Wine-press of God's Wrath?

In fact, we are admonished not to believe those that say the Messiah is here or there because it is quite possible that the Powers that Be will doing their best to get people to gather in certain places awaiting a Rapture. Who knows what they will do with them. They have included a Rapture Card within the Illuminati Card Game. that is a game that tells all of their moves.

But here is what it says, Matthew: 24:29 “Immediately after the distress of those days ‘the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’

30 “Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory. 31 And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other."
