Do you believe that the Church Age (Age of Grace) will end at the rapture?

Tell me Mac, when did the Church age start? And did that end Israel and transform it into the Church? Were they ever separate?

Isaiah9Six:
This is a interesting thread, I hope you don't mind me jumping in the conversation.

Church: the Greek word ekklesia which means the called out. Using that description we would have to say Israel would qualify to be the church in the Old Testament. They were called out of Egypt by God and are even referred to the church in Acts 7:38 This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us:

The church in the New Testament similarly are the called out of the world of sin. If by Israel you mean national Israel it should be obvious that it is distinct from the body of believers that constitute the church.
