How do we know that the "Rapture" happens all at once and not over an extended time?
The Bible describes the rapture as an event where some people are taken and others are left behind, such as when two men are in a field or two women are grinding at a mill. But does it say anything anywhere about them all going at the same moment? Could it be that we each have our own appointed rapture time that is different from others?
Matthew 24:40 - 42
ESV - 40 Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one left. 41 Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one left.
