**************************
While we do believe in a mid tribulation rapture, we are not saying we know the day or the hour. The Lord makes it very clear that no one but the Father knows that. While we do believe it is at or near the middle of the last 7 years of this age, the Lord says that He will cut the time short for the elect's sake in Matthew 24:22 and who knows the amount of time that will be?
