Some have posted saying they may have some guilt feelings about wanting the Rapture ASAP. They're feeling conflicted about the "selfishness" of those feelings. The truth is, if you aren't feeling that way, you should be worried!

 

21 For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.22 But if I am to live on in the flesh, this will mean fruitful labor for me; and I do not know which to choose.23 But I am hard-pressed from both directions, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, for that is very much better;24 yet to remain on in the flesh is more necessary for your sake.

Phil 1:21-24 (NASB)

29 For to you it has been granted for Christ's sake, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake,30 experiencing the same conflict which you saw in me, and now hear to be in me.

 

Phil 1:29-30 (NASB)

So, the suffering we have due to this conflict is exactly what Jesus would expect of His. Doesn't make it any more pleasant, but it does quench the fiery missles of guilt!
