1 | How can Christ return be imminent? | Bible general Archive 1 | Morant61 | 14825 | ||
Greetings Nolan! I wasn't really trying to change anyone, but welcome aboard! :-) I still like to live by the old adage I've heard many times concerning the end times: "Pray for Pre, but be prepared for Post!" You can't go wrong that way! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Hi Tim, Is it true that you understand the prewrath position? CDBJ | ||||||

Greetings CDBJ! Yes, I hold to the pre-Wrath rapture of the Church! I assume you are refering to my quote to Nolan. My point there was simply that no matter when the rapture occurs, we need to be ready. The "best" case would be if Christ raptured the Church before any of the events of Daniel's 70th week. The "worst" case would be if Christ did not rapture the Church until the close of Daniel's 70th week. Either way, we need to be ready. Now, having said that, I personally believe that Daniel's 70th week is divided into two 3 1/2 year segments. The first will be a time of trouble for Israel. The second will be a time of wrath for the world. This view would mean that Christians will indeed face intense persecution during the first 3 1/2 years, but will not face God's wrath during the last 3 1/2 years. I hope this answers your question! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Tim—I think we must have two prewrath concepts, or for that mater what constitutes God’s wrath and Satan’s wrath. I think that when antichrist establishes a covenant with Israel, that Daniel’s 70th week will start. The believers at that time will have 42 mo. to prepare for what is coming. At the mid point of the 70th week the antichrist will reveal who he really is and demand the worship of the World, i.e. the abomination of desolation. The Jew’s won’t worship antichrist and neither will the elect. This will start the great tribulation that is mentioned in Matt.24:21. The verse in Rev. 12:12, Shows it from the devil’s view point, and the short time, spoken of, is the last 3 1/2 years or 42 mo. The great tribulation and the time of Jacob’s trouble are running concurrent. The Lord will cut short the tribulation of the believers, with the rapture of his elect; this will happen some where in the last half of the 70th week. Daniel’s 70th week keeps going on though or it wouldn’t be a full 70 weeks. The verse in II Thess. 2:8 where the Lord will destroy the Wicked one with the brightness of His coming; the word for destroy, is KATARGEO, a better rendition would be to make useless, or of no effect: The reason being that the object of the Wicked one has just been removed, i.e. the rapture.

Greetings CDBJ! If I followed all of that correctly, I think we are in full agreement or close to it. See my reply to Nolan about the chronology for a fuller treament. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
