Q. I just love your web site. I visit it daily and am always blessed by the wealth of information. Keep up the good work you are truly gifted by God with knowledge of scripture. My question is when Satan is throw out of heaven will that be before the rapture or following and will believers still be here on earth? If we are will we know it?

A. By my calculations the Rapture of the Church takes place in Rev. 4. Satan is expelled from Heaven in Rev. 12:9. The Church will be long gone from Earth but we’ll know when it happens because we’ll see it from our hiding place in Heaven.
