There is NOT going to be a PARTIAL RAPTURE,and it is going to be so SUDDEN that the unsaved will NOT have the TIME to even understand what is going on....
they ( the unsaved) will Not hear the trumpet of God,The Shout etc...

13But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

14For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

15For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

16For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

18Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

and:

1 Corinthians 15:51

Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

52In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

53For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

The great event is going to happen in a fraction of time almost impossible to measure and quantify,the twinkling of an eye:
As the dictionary says a twinkle is light reflected from the eye,
Just how fast is the 'twinkling of an eye' ?
1Co 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
It is not the time it takes to blink an eye: for you to see someone's eyes twinkle, light must travel through the front of their eye, be reflected off their retina, and then exit their eye.
Assuming (for the of ease of calculation) that you are standing close to that person so the transmission time from eyeball-to-eyeball can be regarded as instantaneous, and that a person's eyeball is 2.5 cm in diameter, the light would have to travel a distance of 5cm (or 1/20,000th or 2x10-4 of a kilometer).
Since the speed of light is 300,000 (or 3x105) km/sec, this means it would take or 1/6 x 10-9 seconds (ie 1/2 x1/3 x 10-4 x 10-5 seconds), or 1/6,000,000,000th of a second to make a person's eyeball twinkle: pretty fast.

We will VANISH so fast...........and BE TRANSFORMED so fast too...ONLY THE LORD could do that....
the unsaved know nothing about the rapture not to mention that many saved don't know about it or have vague ideas about it,but HE WILL TAKE ALL HIS BRIDE ,no partial rapture...and that guy crying WAIT..WAIT,at the end of the video doesn't make any sense in the contest of the teaching of the Scriptures....

just wanted share my understanding,much Love and Peace in Jesus

I can't help but believe, when the Rapture does take place, there will be such a SHOCK to the world that, well, such an event has NEVER ever happened before. Would there be some husband, wife, young man, young woman, whomever, shouting WAIT, yeah, you bet there will be. We're talking millions upon millions of people disappearing , all of a sudden, in less than one second, these people are gone! And that won't have an effect on those "left behind"??? Oh, yeah, it'll have an effect, that's for sure. For some, it'll drive them to receive Jesus as their Savior. Sadly, for most, it'll be quickly forgotten and life will continue as "normal". Until, the FINAL day comes, His arrival here. Then, they'll pay attention. Sadly tho' for many, it'll be too late.

Hi Mike,yeah,of course,I agree with you,what i meant in my broken English ( I am Italian

)is that it is going to be SO fast that they will realize we are vanished,they will not have time to say WAIT,it is very very very quick...for sure,in the aftermath of this colossal disappearance of people,some will remember what they heard about it when we were here and also there are going to be economical,social and military and political consequences and for sure The Lord will save many during the period which follows The Rapture,the GT,but as we know,it will be tough indeed....so,I hope I explained myself better this time,..i hope....

No, JesusChangesAll, you did a great job explaining yourself the first time. Me? I was kind of looking at things from a "real life" situation. Like, I was walking through a store earlier and wondered, what would it be like it the Rapture happened right now! Obviously, it didn't. And, I didn't take the time to tell anyone what's coming! Shame on me....
