Defense of the Post Trib Rapture

[Godfearer]

the post trip "rapture" is what the Holy Spirit revealed to me while reading scripture.

seek God and he will show you.

Quoting George: Why do you believe in a post trib rapture?

Dear Brother George, I see your thread here to defend a post tribulation rapture of the Church, and yet I see no one defending it, at least to my satisfaction. Why are there no scriptures listed with the various views? One puts forth Daniel 12 and Matthew 24 without defining how and when that is to take place, again as pertaining to the book of Revelation and its different time lines; the tribulation itself is divided into many parts with different events.

I would like to ask your opinion as to when the tribulation begins. To help you understand what I am asking, I put credence in dispensations if you're aware of its teachings pertaining to the way God works with different peoples in different ages. For instance God works with Israel, then turns to the Gentiles, then back to restored Israel, etc. Last comes the millennium and then after that the judgment and eternity. You may have different terminology but as to pertaining to the book of Revelation, do you have a difinate starting point in John's vision given him by Jesus' angel in Revelation 1:1?

Thank you for your time in Jesus' name - larry2

Amen ezekiel33,

It is all one event and Jesus will put an end to these religious games which masquerade as christianity.

God Bless,

God did and does deal with man in different ways throughout time. We call them dispensations. God doesn't, but that is what we call them.

OMG -

Who woke this thread up after a year of silence ... ?

Hello brothers and sisters,

Since the forums got a little jumbled, I decided to go ahead and start a few new threads. This thread is the defense of the post-trib rapture theological position.

Why do you believe in a post trib rapture?

Your brother in Christ with much agape love,

George

I am post trib because it appears in Revelation that Jesus will come back after the tribulation.

LordV, you believe so close to the same as i do

I extend it for a small trip... In Thessalonians we are told we will 'meet' the Lord in the air. That word is ONLY used a couple times (off the top of my head i think 3) and when its used it has the implicaiton of leaving to meet someone who is on their way to see you, meeting them while they are on their way, and then escorting them back to where you just left from

For instance paul was on his way to a city, and all the christians in the city left to go meet him and escorted him back to their city.

We're told we will be changed and then the Holy Angels will gather us, and they take us to meet the Lord in the air... i dunno where this may be... our atmosphere? outside of it? i dunno but i do know itll be a trip

And then we escort Him back here and watch Him take His world away from Satan amen lol

Wow whatta time thatll be

the Word Of God is black and white(and sometimes red) if this one scripture dosent clarify for you try reading the book of Joel. and where Jesus talks about the last days throuh out the gospels.

[Arthur Durnan]

So the Church of Jesus Christ will set up the eternal Kingdom of Christ minus the King Himself? And with the worldwide Church of the Living God in such current utter shameful disrepair and disunity today? Not to mention the Church fast becoming like the world rather than the other way around. This has to be the ultimate caper of the age! "Even so, come Lord Jesus!" and save us from ourselves!
