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 23: RESURRECTION AND PAUL’S ORDER OF EVENTS

RAPTURE 23: RESURRECTION AND PAUL’S ORDER OF EVENTS

Last time I wrote that Revelation provides for only two resurrections: one at the return of Jesus Christ, and the other a thousand years later after the Millennial reign of Christ.

Certainly for the believer in Jesus Christ the change from mortality to immortality is a blessed hope, but it's not accurate to say that the “blessed hope” mentioned by Paul to Titus is the pre-tribulation rapture. Paul didn't call … Continue reading RAPTURE 18: THE BLESSED HOPE, AND THE GLORIOUS APPEARING →

RAPTURE 17: WHEN? PAUL’S CLEAR STATEMENT!

RAPTURE 17: WHEN? PAUL’S CLEAR STATEMENT!

Last time I discussed what Paul didn't say about the rapture, which omission is a strong indicator of its timing. Here, in a mercifully shorter post, I'll briefly include what Jesus didn't say. Then I will point out one of the clear statements which Paul did make concerning the rapture's timing. I once ignored such … Continue reading RAPTURE 17: WHEN? PAUL’S CLEAR STATEMENT! →
