and the "Rapture" is a relatively new concept in the judeo christian religious view, based on reinterpretations, which demonstrates, religion evolves to meet societys interests, and todays society is relying on being taken away from the suffering supposedly predicted in the book of Revelations.
so the original question, when will the rapture happen, is only applicable to christians who already believe that it will happen. good for them. just something else for them to feel all righteous about.
but having said all that, if i was a christian, my money would be on a pre-trib, rapture. thats the rapture happening before the predicted tribulation period in the book of revelations. that would be my guess since it would make a perfect global disaster for the antichrist to use to unify the remaining population.
