RAPTURE 25: FALL AWAY FROM WHAT?

RAPTURE 25: FALL AWAY FROM WHAT?

Welcome readers. Here's another installment of my book* on the timing of the rapture. I was a pre-tribulation believer for twenty-eight years: I now know how wrong I was to unquestioningly accept everything the "experts" taught. The good news is that this post is considerably shorter than most... Paul wrote that a preliminary and unmistakable … Continue reading RAPTURE 25: FALL AWAY FROM WHAT? →

RAPTURE 24: WHICH LAST TRUMPET IS THE LAST LAST TRUMPET?

RAPTURE 24: WHICH LAST TRUMPET IS THE LAST LAST TRUMPET?

Not only do teachers of the pre-tribulation rapture theory insist, without scriptural statements, that the first of two resurrections is in stages, but they also have to resort to claiming that there is more than one "last trumpet".

Pre-tribulation rapture theory has to assert that the first resurrection is in stages separated by years of time, because the first resurrection in Revelation includes … Continue reading RAPTURE 23: RESURRECTION AND PAUL’S ORDER OF EVENTS →

RAPTURE 22: THE FIRST RESURRECTION

RAPTURE 22: THE FIRST RESURRECTION

I was a pre-tribulation believer and proponent for twenty-eight years. Therefore I am, I  believe, well qualified to critique this mistaken position. Open your minds to reality, dear Christian brothers and sisters... Today's excerpt from my book* is taken from chapter 14. The chapter is rather long, so today's post contains a part and the … Continue reading RAPTURE 22: THE FIRST RESURRECTION →
