Surely the Lord God does nothing, Unless He reveals His secret to His
servants the prophets.
This guy can claim to have studied "for years" and hold up a very thick notebook (I think) to show all his study, but it seems he missed several very important verses.
Here are the problems with his view of the world being "left behind".
1. no verses show Jesus taking resurrected/raptured believers to heaven.
2. the Bible says there are TWO resurrections; one for the saved and one for the unsaved.
Acts 24:15 - and I have the same hope in God as these men themselves have, that there will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked. {this proves there are only TWO resurrections; one for the saved and one for the unsaved.}
Rev 20:4,5
4 I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God.
They had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They
came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
5 (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.)
This is the first resurrection.
{Bolded words prove these are tribulation martyrs. Red words refer to believer resurrection, and blue words clearly state this resurrection is the FIRST one.}
3. 1 Cor 15:23 - But
each in turn: Christ,
the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him.
{this verse discusses the FIRST resurrection and shows TWO "phases" or parts. The first one is Christ Himself, the FIRST human being to be resurrected. The blue words refer to every believer from Adam on, since ALL believers from Adam on "belong to Him". To try to narrow this down to just the "Bride of Christ" or NT believers is futile. The green words tell us WHEN the FIRST resurrection of the saved will occur: "then, when He comes". There are NO verses in the Bible that prophesy that Jesus will come before the trib.
4. There is a verse that clearly states WHEN the rapture occurs. It is at the "coming of our Lord".
2 Thess 2:1-3
1 Concerning
the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and
our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers and sisters,
2 not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from us—whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letter—asserting that
the day of the Lord has already come.
3 Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for
that day will not come
until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction.
Red words indicate the Second Advent, at the end of the Trib. Blue words indicate the FIRST resurrection and rapture. The green words refer to the FIRST DAY of the time period called "the Day of the Lord". It begins at the end of the Trib when Christ comes back to earth as King of kings and ends the battle of Armageddon and sets up His 1,000 year reign. The purple words refer to the Trib and the beast, aka antichrist. The words are clear. The Trib and a/c will occur BEFORE the Second Advent and rapture.
