Category: THE RAPTURE
A common view I once shared which claims that when Jesus said, “one will be taken, the other will be left” (Matthew 24:40-41), he was speaking of a surprise rapture at some time before the tribulation. The one taken would be the raptured believer: the one left behind would be the unbeliever or a failed believer.
In Part One I discussed the faulty application of Jesus’ words, “You do not know the day or the hour” to the pre-tribulation rapture theory. This post continues on from there. It's taken from my book (link below).
Could Jesus Christ return without notice, at a time we aren't expecting Him to come? I will demonstrate in a two-part article that Biblical imminence is taken out of context to prove a pre-Tribulation rapture. Most especially I will draw attention to the fact that Jesus spoke of the imminence of his coming to those who would still be on the earth during Tribulation events.
Pre-Tribulation people tell us that the word "church" isn't used in Revelation after John is transported to heaven, and that therefore the Church will obviously be taken to heaven before any Tribulation events take place. In this article I will show that according to John's own commonly used words and phrases, they are wrong.
When will the Church Age end? Will it end at all? This post critiques another assertion of pre-Tribulation rapture theology - one which I blindly accepted and promoted for many years.
