Tag: THE RAPTURE
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.
Many people are certain that the coming Tribulation will be seven years long, complete with persecution, wars, plagues and stars falling from the sky. They have the impression that the first day of that seven-year period-when the ink is still wet on Antichrist’s “peace deal” document-marks the start of the outpouring of God’s wrath, which will continue for the entire period until Jesus returns physically in power and glory. Are they correct? I here suggest otherwise.
Is it true that if God didn't take believers to heaven before the Tribulation they would suffer His wrath along with everyone else? This, the standard view in evangelical circles, was my reasoning in relation to rapture timing for twenty-eight years, but not any longer (click the title to read on).
There’s some disagreement as to the actual timing of the marriage supper mentioned in Revelation chapter 19. Is it shortly after a pre-Tribulation rapture when the tribulation is about to commence; just before the middle of the tribulation when things will really begin to heat up on the earth; towards the end, just before the physical return of Christ, or even after the return of Christ to the earth?
