1 | Rapture | 1 Thess 4:17 | fcs375 | 216784 | ||
1 Thessalonians 4:17 "After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever." Based on this scripture, it is evident that a rapture like event will take place. There is much debate on when this will occur. It seems as if more people believe in a pre-trib rapture, however personally I don't find scripture to support that, although I don't claim to know it all either. When looking back at scripture, there are times when the Lord saved people from destruction, i.e. Lot when he destroyed soddom and gamorra. I know this doctrine is not a matter of salvation, however because I beleive that the bilble has one truth, I believe we ought to know it. Anyone willing to shed some light on this subject?? |

2 | Rapture | 1 Thess 4:17 | justme | 216842 | ||
fcs375: Here is what I consider the best book to explain all four views. THE MEANING OF THE MILLENNIUM FOUR VIEWS Edited by Robert G. Clouse published by InterVarsity Press orignal copy date 1977. This book has been updated. I found this book does the best job of presenting all four views. There is a long list of books that do the same thing but I consider the book listed above as the best for most people. The problem I have with Dispensational Premillennialism is not until 1819 or so did Darby come up with this theory. I douby very seriously if anyone just reading Scripture could come to this theory of Dispensational Premillennialism by ones self. I believe that there is more likely a mid or post tribulation rapture. Read Matthew chapters 24 and 25 and you I doubt you will read a pre tribulation understanding out of these two chapters. Reading this book and Scripture I am sure you will come to a view that you can defend. Blessings. justme |
