| Doctrine of: Pre-Tribulational Rapture? |
While we could expend weeks in invariably debunking every single Erroneous Theological Argument - that they have created in support of their ' Pre-Tribulation Rapture ' - it is far easier to simply attack this False Teaching directly. After all, no other teaching of Spiritual Babylon is more: Easily, Clearly, and Readily - refuted from The Scriptures!
{ *** NOTE: Your own personal salvation could depend upon The True Answer to this one particular spiritual question: Will there be ' A Pre-Trib Rapture ' before The Time Of The End? Please, check it out for yourself; and be completely sure of your own answer!}
In Mathew Chapter 24, It Says:
" Immediately After The Tribulation Of Those Days: The sun will be darkened, The moon will not give its light, The stars will fall from heaven, and The powers of the heavens will be shaken.
Then the sign of The Son Of Man [ Yahshua ] will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see The Son Of Man [ Yahshua ] coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory [ That Everyone Might See It ].
And He [ Yahshua ] will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet [ Announcing His Physical Presence ], and They [ His Angels ] will gather together His Elect [ That Are Still Upon The Earth ] from the four winds [ Every Quarter Of The Earth ], from one end of heaven [ The Earth's Own Horizon ] to the other. " - Mathew 24:29-31.
Believe it, or not, ' The True Answer To This Spiritual Question ' is as simple as that! His own scripturally verifiable statement of: " Immediately After The Tribulation Of Those Days " - is abundantly clear to anyone reading it. However, The Followers Of Spiritual Babylon don't [ honestly ] want to hear The Truth... because, their own Personal Wickedness leaves them: Spiritually Powerless and Terribly Fearful - with respect towards The Earth's Own Day Of Judgment!
Of course, Revelation Chapter 7 - that comes: " Immediately After The Tribulation Of Those Days [ found in chapter 6 ] " - clearly confirms Yahshua's Own Words, when it relates:
" After These Things [ The Six Seals Of Revelation Chapter 6 ] I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all: Nations, Tribes, Peoples, and Languages - standing before The Throne [ Of Yahweh ] and before The Lamb [ Yahshua ], clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying with a loud voice, saying:
' Salvation belongs to Our Mighty One who sits upon The Throne, and to The Lamb [ Who Stands Beside It ]! '
And all of the angels stood around The Throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and fell upon their faces before The Throne and worshiped Yahweh, saying:
' Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom, Thanksgiving and honor and power and might, Be to Our Mighty One forever and ever. Amen. '
Then one of the elders answered, saying to me [ John The Prophet ]: ' Who are these arrayed in white robes, and where did they come from? '
And I said to him, ' Sir, you know. ' So he said to me:
' These Are The Ones Who Come Out Of The Great Tribulation, And have washed their robes [ Through Their Own Spiritual Knowledge And Faithful Obedience ], And have made them white in The Blood Of The Lamb [ By Accepting His Magnificent Sacrifice ].
Therefore They [ This Great Multitude Of Saved Human Beings ] are before The Throne of The Mighty One [ In True Spiritual Confidence ], and serve Him day and night [ Continually ] in His Temple [ Of New Jerusalem ]. And He [ Yahweh ] who sits upon The Throne will dwell among them [ The Man Yahweh-Hushua ]. " - Revelation 7:9-15.
Thus, we have: Yahshua Himself making this very same statement [ almost 2000 years ago ], and John The Prophet clearly attesting to it [ long after the fact ]; and yet, those: " Evil Shepherds, False Prophets, and Empty Oracles of Spiritual Babylon " - will still continue to deny it. Could I offer more spiritual proofs that substantially refute this False Teaching Of The Rapture? Certainly, I could! But, what would be the point in doing that? If you refuse to [ even ] believe Yahshua Himself, then, ' Of What Intrinsic Value Are Even More Scriptures ' ?
The True Issue has always been one of Spiritual Faith... do we trust in: Yahweh and His Words... or, do we trust in: Fallen Angels and Human Deceptions... and, all of us must make our own choices. The False Doctrine of: " A Pre-Tribulation Rapture " - is merely one of them. In the end, it will be those highly-personal choices, that determine our own individual futures... and, hopefully, we'll all make the right ones!
In the meantime, The False Doctrine of ' Pre-Tribulational Rapture ' is threatening the salvation of billions. Mainly, because it's leaving them totally unprepared for what is now coming... and, by the time that many of them finally wake up, their own destruction shall already be largely upon them.
Ahava and Shalom.
May Yahweh's Own: Love and Peace - be upon you!
[Amen, Francis. Saw this goodie on the www. Joel]

How can the “rapture” be “imminent”? Acts 3:21 says that Jesus “must” stay in heaven (He's now at the Father's "right hand," Acts 2:34) “until the times of restitution of all things” which includes, says Scofield, “the restoration of the theocracy under David’s Son” which obviously can’t begin before or during Antichrist’s reign. ("The Rapture Question," by long time No. 1 pretrib authority John Walvoord, didn't dare to even list, in its scripture index, these too-hot-to-handle verses!) Since Jesus can’t even leave heaven before the tribulation ends, which is also when His foes are finally put down (made His "footstool," Acts 2:35), the rapture therefore can't take place before the end of the trib! (The same Acts verses were also too hot for John Darby - the so-called "father of dispensationalism" - to list in the scripture index in his "Letters" which covers Acts 2 and 3 much more comprehensively than Walvoord's!)
Paul explains the “times and the seasons” (I Thess. 5:1) of the catching up (I Thess. 4:17) as the “day of the Lord” (5:2) which FOLLOWS the posttrib sun/moon darkening (Matt. 24:29; Acts 2:20) WHEN “sudden destruction” (5:3) of the wicked occurs! The "rest" for "all them that believe" is also tied to such destruction in II Thess. 1:6-10! (If the wicked are destroyed before or during the trib, who'd be left alive to serve the Antichrist?) Paul also ties the change-into-immortality “rapture” (I Cor. 15:52) to the posttrib end of “death” (15:54). (Will death be ended before or during the trib? Of course not! And vs. 54 is also tied to Isa. 25:8 which is Israel's posttrib resurrection!)
Many are unaware that before 1830 all Christians had always viewed I Thess. 4’s “catching up” as an integral part of the final second coming to earth. In 1830 this "rapture" was stretched forward and turned into a separate coming of Christ. To further strengthen their novel view, which the mass of evangelical scholars rejected throughout the 1800s, pretrib teachers in the early 1900s began to stretch forward the “day of the Lord” (what Darby and Scofield never dared to do) and hook it up with their already-stretched-forward “rapture.” Many leading evangelical scholars still weren’t convinced of pretrib, so some pretrib teachers then began teaching that the “falling away” of II Thess. 2:3 is really a pretrib rapture (the same as saying that the “rapture” in 2:3 must happen before the “rapture” ["gathering"] in 2:1 can happen – the height of desperation!).
Here are some Google articles on the 182-year-old pretrib rapture view: "Pretrib Rapture Politics," "Pretrib Rapture Scholar Wannabes," “Famous Rapture Watchers,” "Pretrib Rapture Diehards," “X-Raying Margaret,” "Edward Irving is Unnerving," “Thomas Ice (Bloopers),” "Walvoord Melts Ice," “Wily Jeffrey,” “The Rapture Index (Mad Theology),” “America’s Pretrib Rapture Traffickers,” “Roots of (Warlike) Christian Zionism,” “Scholars Weigh My Research,” “Pretrib Hypocrisy,” "Thieves' Marketing," "Appendix F: Thou Shalt Not Steal," "Pretrib Rapture Secrecy," “Deceiving and Being Deceived,” and "Pretrib Rapture Dishonesty" – all by the author of the extremely accurate and highly endorsed book “The Rapture Plot” (see Armageddon Books).
