Be prepared to go through Great Tribulation.... remember to love not your life... fear not those that can kill the body....Put GOD above all things. The evil of this world have some great twists of the truth to entrap... but hold fast to the Testimony of the Good Shepherd and walk through the valleys of death and fear no evil... peace be with you all.
Talk about the pot calling the kettle "black." Nobody allegorizes more than the pre-tribber.
Christ says that He returns immediately after the tribulation, you change it to before.
You add 2,000 year gaps all over the place.
You attribute works of Christ to works of the antichrist.
You take a phrase that says Christ's lives and reigns for 1,000 years and in essence say that Christ hasn't begun to live or reign yet implying that He's still dead.
You take a passage where those in Judea are told to flee and apply it to the whole planet.
You steal the comforts and blessed hope given to Timothy and the Thessalonians and take them for yourselves.
You take the promise of a quick return and make it the longest return in history.
You create classes of Christians based on works. Those who earned the rapture and those to be left behind and slaughtered.
To make matters worse, you take meanings that are clearly spiritual like the Kingdom and Temple and make them physical. Perhaps the most troubling thing is you throw away God's salvation sacrifice of His Son who shed His blood and died for us so that we could be atoned for our sins and have salvation when we die and you re-institute animal sacrifices as the way for future atonement. You find that Christ would have no problems reigning from the building where animal sacrifices were occurring.
I can think of little that's more repulsive, sickening and extra-Biblical than the pre-Trib doctrine. Sorry if that offends as it's aimed at the doctrine, not my brothers who fell for this nonsense.

Food for thought: Only two people in the Old Testament never died, Enoch and Elijah.
The Two Witnesses do die at the hands of the Beast.
The Word of GOD tells us that the only exception to the following verse, are those still alive when He resurrects the Dead in Messiah, Jesus Christ:
Hebrews 9:27 (KJV)
[SUP]27 [/SUP] And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
Understanding that GOD MUST BE TRUE TO HIS WORD, it is obvious that the Two Witnesses are Enoch and Elijah.
