Paul was given the revelation of the Dispensation of the Grace of God for us Gentiles who live in this age. According to Ephesians and Colossians (even all of Paul’s Epistles) “we are made to sit together in heavenly places that in the ages to come …” (Ephesians 2:6,7). The reason for the rapture is to take us into the “heavenly places.” According to Revelation 12 in the middle of the tribulation Satan and his angels are cast out of heaven and their place is no more found. That is because we have replaced them. We are there before they are cast out because God prepared us for those positions so they would not be left void. Keep looking for the blessed hope (Titus 2:13,14) not for a sign.
