1 | Rapture | 1 Thess 4:17 | Makarios | 216785 | ||
Greetings Fcs375! In summary: Pre-Trib - Believers in Christ will be raptured before the Tribulation. Mid-Trib - Believers in Christ will be raptured some time in the middle of the Tribulation. Post-Trib - Believers in Christ will be raptured after the Tribulation period. People who believe that Pre-Trib is the Biblically correct view of the rapture point to such verses as Romans 5:9; 1 Thess. 1:9,10; 5:9 to show that the church is not 'appointed to wrath.' But this point of view conflicts with 2 Timothy 3:12 which says: "Indeed, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted." Therefore, Christians can and do go through persecution, and are by no means assured of not going through the Great Tribulation. Personally, I think the Pre-Wrath position is most consistent with Biblical testimony. But it's not as issue worth fighting over if we can all just agree on the 'big picture': John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life." Blessings to you, Makarios |

2 | Rapture | 1 Thess 4:17 | grafted in | 216786 | ||
Shalom Makarios, You left out the preterists!! How could you forget them (smiling)??!! They are the ones who believe the rapture took place in 70AD and we are now in the 2009th year of the 1000 year millenial reign. (Yeah, some people really do believe this. I believe they base it on the passage in Mat. 24 where He says "this generation will not pass away before all these things happen...") I, too, am a pre-wrather. The tribulation spoken of in Rev., prior to the pre-wrath rapture, at the 7th or last trumpet, is not the wrath of God taking place, it's the wrath of hasatan against God's people. After the bride is taken out of the way, the wrath of God against wickedness and evildoers is let loose. (There may be some that come to faith within this period but they will have to die during it or survive it, though I've heard some people teach of a secondary rapture?) Is this how you see the pre-wrath view? Does your screen name, Makarios, mean blessing in Greek? |

Good morning, grafted in, shalom. I apologize, I hope you don't think I'm being nosy, but, I couldn't help notice that you used the hebrew word for adversary (meaning Satan). Do you speak Hebrew? Perhaps you'd be so kind, grafted in, to fill out something in the user personal profile, so we can get to know you a little better? Where do you go to Church? :-) John |
