This thread isn't about rapture debates, not about repeating those same threads anybody can search out. It's not about soliciting your comments, post-tribbers, or any comments, rather a warning, take it or leave it.
A few days ago I saw where somebody had said it doesn't matter what you believe about the rapture, have heard this many times before. This could very well be true for some. On the other hand, when one has a stand that's not rooted in naive ignorance, that fails to acknowledge certain scripture truths, rejects and tries to teach against these truths to others, here is a real quandary for you post-tribbers:
Luke 21:34-36 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
With respect to the time of Jacob's trouble, the believer is told to pray to escape these things, to be worthy of escaping these things. If the believer in these things and that escape is to pray to be worthy to escape, what can be said of one who doesn't believe there is any escape? As a matter of fact, one who teaches people not to be ready to meet the Lord in the air, at any time, at all, but rather to look for the antichrist to appear, denies there's any escape to pray for? So, if commanded to pray to be worthy, where does one stand, who doesn't even believe in that escape? You certainly can't pray to escape, and unbelief seems a whole lot of rungs below any issue of worthiness.
You like the tribulation period? By all indications, you'll get your wish, may pay a very heavy price for your trifling with truth, denying the blessed hope of the coming of the Lord Jesus for His bride on message boards.
Just a thought, since you can't pray to be worthy to escape the tribulation, by all indications you are, therefore, fresh out of luck. And I don't believe in luck, any more than your post-tribulation false prophecy and exegetical incompetence.
