    How the Pre-Trib Rapture Became Popular in the Modern Church

    "Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and everyone else, both slave and free, hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains. They called to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the...

    How the Pre-Trib Rapture Became Popular in the Modern Church

    As to your first paragraph, at the begining of the 70th week of Daniel the church is raptured. Subsequently, some people who remain on earth do turn to Christ and become Christians. Those left behind do suffer under the AC. As to your second paragraph, I never said God's wrath is upon...

    How the Pre-Trib Rapture Became Popular in the Modern Church

    Here is a simple graphical example of the beliefs. It is not Christ honoring if we attack and belittle each other when we study The Word together. That is not how The Spirit works.

    How the Pre-Trib Rapture Became Popular in the Modern Church

    That verse is John 17:15, not John 16:15. Regardless, Jesus is praying about the disciples there. No one is saying, "...rapturing people out of this world to protect them from the evil one..." The scriptures prove that the church, the believers, do not suffer the wrath of God during the seven...

    (1 Thes. 1:10) And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come. (1 Thes. 5:9) For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ

    End times are getting closer.

    Lots of people, even on secular forums, are asking if this is the end times. There are always a few but it seems more prevalent now. Is Holy Spirit speaking to their hearts? We believers must be ready to share the gospel, the hope in the blessed Redeemer, at any moment. People are searching for...

    How the Pre-Trib Rapture Became Popular in the Modern Church

    One of the arguments most opponents to the Rapture use is that it can't be right as it was a theory developed much later in comparison to other views. They all say that it began around 1830 through the ministry of Darby. Actually the pretrib rapture position does have historical precedent...

    1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 Vs. Matthew 24:29-31

    Good mornig! Thank you for your post. Which begs the question; after what? The things subsequent to 4:1 are then spelled out. They occur after the "what". What is that? Is it not after the church age? That is the only possible conclusion.

    1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 Vs. Matthew 24:29-31

    The rapture of believers, before God's tribulation (AKA Daniel's 70th week) is cited in Revelation 3:10 That is very clear. Follow the timeline in Revelation. Chapters 1-3 are about Christ and the church age. Chapter 4:1 begins with "After this..." after what? After the church age. It's plain...

    1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 Vs. Matthew 24:29-31

    Context. Your citation is about difficulties in the world, not about suffering the tribulation of God. Other translations say "hardships" and others say "tribulations" plural to clarify the sense that is being communicated in your citation. The original Greek used in Acts 14:22 is "thlipseōn"...
