John MacArthur preaches the Rapture

I either never knew or forgot a long time ago that John MacArthur teaches the Rapture. Here he is describing it on You Tube. He's saying pretty much what was said in the 36 scripture references I posted below.

The second question in the following You Tube Q&A of John MacArthur asks whether the Holy Spirit will be taken away with the Rapture of the Church. The answer he gives is that the Holy Spirit's role of restraining evil will be removed, but He Himself won't be. MacArthur says there is to be the greatest Revival ever known in history in this Tribulation period as huge numbers will be brought to salvation through the Holy Spirit.

This does answer the misunderstanding some apparently have of the Rapture position, that the Holy Spirit Himself will be taken away as the "one who restrains."

However, the scripture does say that "he" will be removed, not just a restraining power.

Here is a series of You Tube videos of John MacArthur on the Second Coming:
Part I.
Part II. He discusses the Rapture from about 6:10 of this part, God's Plan for the Church.
Part III. In this part he talks about the redemption of the Jews.
Part IV.
Part V. From 3:15 he describes the Lord coming first for his church, followed by the series of judgments that are the Great Tribulation, Israel comes to salvation "along with vast multitudes across the earth," then the Lord returns to judge all the ungodly and sets up his glorious kingdom.
Part VI. Continuing Luke 17 through 21

Here is a video on the timing of the Rapture. IF the Rapture is really going to occur, it makes sense that it would happen during the Feast of Trumpets, which is Rosh Hashanah (coming up Wednesday the 8th by the way -- to last from sunset of the 8th up to nightfall of the 10th. I'd REALLY love to be gone by then, but if not, maybe next year). There is a "last trumpet" in a series of trumpet blasts associated with that holiday, presaging the last trumpet of Revelation, for instance. There's also the nice fact that the first four feasts of Israel were all neatly fulfilled by events connected with the salvation of the Church, and we have to expect that the last feasts of the Jewish calendar will also be literally fulfilled.
