Paul-Richard has the right to his opinion, but to avoid any confusion here please note for the record that his explanation for why Father is referred to as "Her" in my original post is not one I agree with.

Do you believe the Rapture will be the shift in consciousness that people are expecting?
The rise in belief in the "Pre-Tribulation" rapture is sometimes attributed to a 15-year old Scottish-Irish girl named Margaret McDonald (a follower of Edward Irving), who in 1830 had a vision that was later[11] published in 1861.
The popularization of the term is associated with teaching of John Nelson Darby, prominent among the Plymouth Brethren, and the rise of premillennialism and dispensationalism in English-speaking churches at the end of the 19th century. In 1908, the doctrine of the rapture was further popularized by an evangelist named William Eugene Blackstone, whose book, Jesus Is Coming, sold more than one million copies. The first known appearance of the theological use of the word "rapture" in print occurs with the Scofield Reference Bible of 1909.

Maybe those in a higher spiritual frequency are going to 'lift up' with the spirit of the Earth and those stuck in the lower will remain for the end times? I have given this some thought and I believe when the bible said many would be called and few chosen, only a handful saved etc. it might have been pointing out the obvious fact that we have the majority of humanity wallowing in materialism, sex, greed etc. and a minority of us are struggling to learn as much as we can about the 'real' spiritual world behind things. It seems to me whether or not the rapture is real, that people will be left behind, because they have no interest in their spirit or the coming vibrational changes.

by the way, in regards to the original post; if youre quoting the same bible that requires me to listen to god directly for any sort of verification, and not trust mans interpretations as no man can be trusted with ones own heart as much as god can be, why do you give your interpretation? why not just post the scripture and let the message speak for itself?
