Is It Wrong to Ask To Be Left Behind?

[uvn477]

I've been praying to God lately about the Tribulation period. I know it will be coming soon and I'm sure it will happen in my generation. If it does then I can't just sit around in heaven and watch. I've always been a soldier and I have to be on the frontlines. I can't begin to imagine the horrors that I would have to face but I can't just leave the people in this world without trying to save them. I especially think of my friends who refuse to believe. I know something like the rapture would convince them if they are led in the right direction. And what greater honor could there be than to die for my God? It kills me to think about this. Is it wrong to pray to be left behind? Is it wrong to ask? I know I should submit to God's will but should I ask that His will be for me to stay and fight?

i believe that God knows your heart and will honour you in it...there is alot of controversy over the topic of pre-trib and post-trin rapture...and i guess it is not really made known to man how exactly it will happen...i have studied this topic and have to stay that i remain undescided...i can respect many points that come from both arguments!!!

In the end your walk is between you and God and the walks of others is between them and God...i think that all we can do is labour towards the salvation of all mankind until the end of time and the rest is up to the Lord!

Don't worry, you'll be here anyway. And so will the people who don't want to be.

Rev: What do you mean by that?

uvn477: May G-d bless you for your desire to serve in the forth coming Tribulation. Your desire to serve is admirable. Perhaps G-d will use you as an angel from Heaven . Rather than physically being in the Earthly field of combat. As Thomas Payne(Common Sense and The Rights of Man) would no doubt attest. There are more ways to fight than with a Gun or a Sword.

I believe God is showing you that you are not going to be raptured and he is giving you a picture of you being here during the tribulation, because that is what is going to happen. Listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit. He is steering you in the right direction. Ask the Lord to show you what he has for you, because I do believe he is putting together an army for that time. He has called me and my husband to train a bunch of college-age adults for that eventuality. We are preparing them for what is coming and are preparing them to be soldiers in God's army. God gave me that message 3 years ago and I had totally forgotten about it until recently when he was showing me this is his calling on my life now and he led me to go back to my journals of 3 years ago where I read that is what this ministry was to be about. So, keep praying that God will show you how you are to prepare and what he has in store for you, because he is speaking to you. Keep listening!!

This is a good word

Instead of the church celebrating a new book in the Left Behind series, we need to be preparing ourselves and the church for persecution.

Now is the time for salvation.We need to work now in the fields in order to see people saved.Remember,we only lead them to the LORD,HE is the one who saves them.My question is what are you doing now to see your friends saved?If they aren't listening now will they listen then during the trib?Our work is of now.

I don't believe in the rapture the same way that you do, but nonetheless, remember Lot's wife.

[Gerioke]

I don't believe in the pre trib rapture, but you have to bear in mind that there's no sin and Heaven so you will know of no evil once you get there.

Greetings,

I am so glad that so many post-tribbers responded with the truth. God indeed is even now raising up a people that will perform great wonders during the tribulation period. They will follow Christ wherever He leads them. Most of these will be killed before the rapture, but they will also be resurrected before the rapture. So "those left behind" are the ones who miss the First Resurrection.

Blessings,

Dad Ernie
