Examples Of Pre-Tribulation

1391 Words6 Pages

Refresher! When Jesus comes back at the 2nd coming, “his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives” (Zechariah 14:4). But when he comes for his saints at the Rapture, we are “caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air” (I Thessalonians 4:17). Big difference my friends, and by now your eyes should be open to it.

“For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth” Job 19:25 KJV

Thank God for his great and precious promises and for the Holy Ghost comforter that teaches us all things. Lord, please lead us all by your spirit into all truth.

“Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth…and he will shew you things …show more content…

Some Christians are resurrected with shame. Learn more about this in chapter seven, the final revelation about the Bride of Christ. Not everyone thinking they are going to fly away with Jesus when He comes is going to fly anywhere. Many are in for a sticker shock. There is a price to pay and a cross to carry, and overcoming sin is the number one qualification.

Pre-Tribulation verses debunked

As we have hammered the final nails in the coffins of a pre-tribulational rapture theory, it is now time to bury them, never to be resurrected again. We will use many known verses and excuses for a pre-tribulational rapture and debunk, debate, and erase it from your thoughts. You will experience many “straw man” arguments, and a bit of deceit, a lot of ignoring other verses, and at times a flee, rather than a fight for their cause. Well, it’s off to the races.
Argument #1.
The Church is Raptured in Revelation 4:1!
“After this I looked, and behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter” Revelation 4:1 KJV

REBUTTAL …show more content…

John was “in the spirit”, not “in the clouds,” or physically in heaven, but having a vision of heaven “in the spirit.” Jesus was in heaven, John was on the earth on “the isle [island] that is called Patmos” (Revelation 1:9). He was however, in the spirit, and being shown a heavenly vision. This has nothing to do with the Church, the Bride of Christ, or the Rapture. John still had the entire book of Revelation to write. The “Come up hither” (Revelation 4:1) is not the Rapture, it was “I will shew thee things which must be hereafter” (Revelation 4:1). In other words, “John, get ready, you have 18 more chapters yet to write!”

Argument #2.

The Church is not mentioned after Revelation 4:1, so this verse must be the Rapture, for the Church is gone after Revelation 4:1 so we will not be here.

REBUTTAL #2

The Church is mentioned in the conclusion of the entire book of Revelation, to

Paul Links Jesus Resurrection To Christian Hope

170 Words | 1 Pages

In reviewing the reading assignment, Paul links Jesus’ resurrection to Christian hope of an afterlife by saying that “if there was not a resurrection, then Christ was not raised, and Christians hope is in vain” (Harris, 2014 p.346). Paul’s example was based on the Jewish apocalyptic faith, which believed that God had the ability to raise those who died who believed in Christ (Harris, 2014 p.346). Paul said that if Jesus resurrected, there would be no afterlife and the believers would be in a bad place. Another way Paul linked Jesus resurrection to Christian hope of the afterlife when he spoke about Adam and Jesus. Adam was the first man, who was God’s first earthy son, who also brought death to mankind.

First he will come for the believers, both living and dead, in the “rapture”; read 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17. In this view, the rapture which is the transformation and catching up of all Christians dead or alive, to meet Christ in the air, will be secret for it will be unknown to the world of unbelievers at the time of its happening.” He says that after the thousands years living unbelievers and the wicked dead now raised to life will be judged at the great white throne judgement.

However, they are most likely representative of the Church who would have already been raptured at this point. Some suggest they are angelic beings, but this is very unlikely as angels had never been portrayed in scriptures as sitting on thrones or having crowns on their heads. These descriptions only fits redeemed saints who Jesus promised they will reign with Him (Matt 19:28; Luke 22:30). In addition, the Greek word translated here as “elders” is never used to refer to angels, only to men, particularly to men of a certain age who are mature and able to rule the Church. The word elder would be inappropriate to refer to angels, who do not age.
