Hi TH & Doves,   I am not totally sure what you meant by your post, but I do believe that it's quite possible for there to be more than one rapture.  Perhaps even several.   I also am wondering if those who are taken up to the heavenly realm first will have a period of rest and rejoicing (Wedding Feast) and then when ready, come back (or at least some of those souls) to do missions among those who are suffering on this planet.  Like those angels who show up with some kind of rescue and then the person looks back and poof! The person isn't there. Maybe like that. http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/feb2013/th22.htm   Ruby
