RE: The Various Views Concerning the Rapture

in #christian-trail7 years ago

Excellent!!! I am needing to start a new book if he Bible and David Jeremiah has a great series on the radio on revelation til May ❤️❤️🙏. In addition to starting church Bible Study and wrapping up MOPS, I should say yes to that. I grew up pre-tribbut have come into a mixed belief on that and mid-trib. Rather be seven years early than one day late!

Thank you for reading this. :-)

Absolutely! Have you read Rapture Verdict? Do you think pre-trib is birthed out of Scholfield era beliefs? Clearly, I still have a lot more reading and study. I’m not as much confused as trying to determine which is best. I like pre-trib hope. But as a prepper, I am battle-ready, too. I don’t want to be naive or asleep. 🤔

I have not read the Rapture Verdict. No, I do not believe pre-trib is birthed out of Schofield's era. I believe it is birthed out of a grammatical-historical interpretation of the Bible. It is clear that the apostles Paul, Peter and John expected a pre-trib removal from the earth.
As far as being a prepper - while I do not believe a Christian will go through the Tribulation (nor do I believe we could prepare enough for it if we did - the forces of the Tribulation are supernatural, they cannot be fought off with carnal weapons) I also like the being prepared mentality. I preached an full sermon on the subject just last Sunday not, "What Do You Do When You See The Evil?" The gist of the message is that prudent people, realizing there is evil in this world, take steps to protect themselves. Simple people, on the other hand, tend to ignore bad things and get caught up in them.
But then back to the Bible. When it comes to the Tribulation, the best preparation is to believe the Bible. It is biblically, Christologically and contextually impossible for the rapture to take place any time other than prior to the Tribulation.
Blessings.

Alright. This is a very good groundwork. It’s exactly what I was raised with. I guess my humanity is still weak!! :)

And I wholeheartedly agree....the only thing really worth preparing is the SOUL. We do it to ‘gird the loins’ in this House. But also as a ministry when we are gone - so that someone can ransack our property and find shelter, necessities and a ton of copies of the Word :)

Thanks, Sir!!!

Very good.
