1 | Pre-Wrath Rapture? | Bible general Archive 1 | kalos | 56012 | ||
Parousia: I am sincerely sorry. I did not mean to sound so abrasive when I wrote what I did about the word "support." My error. No hostility intended. :-) It's true that THE RAPTURE QUESTION ANSWERED is the only *book* I have read concerning the Pre-Wrath Rapture. However, it is not the only *thing* I have read on the subject. I intend to read on. I intend to read the book "THE SIGN A Biblical Study of End Time Events By Robert Van Kampen. An exhaustive reference work based on more than fifteen years of intense study. It is a sweeping survey of end-times prophecy that spans the breadth of Scripture." If you have something to say about the Pre-Wrath Rapture position, then please feel free to say it here on the Forum. I approached this issue with all honesty and sincerity. It is not that I had already made up my mind and was looking for proof to support what I already believed. I very carefully read and considered the case for the Pre-Wrath Rapture and then accepted it as the accurate and correct position. As for the Pre-Trib Rapture, I have had that drilled into me my whole life. It is the ONLY rapture position I would believe or even listen to for more than 40 years. But before I ever heard of Sign Ministries, I had questions in my mind regarding the Pre-Trib position. There are some things in the Bible, Matthew 24 in particular, that seemed to contradcit the Pre-Trib theory. I am glad that I have had the privilege to finally learn and see what the Bible so clearly teaches on this subject. The main argument against the Pre-Trib Rapture is that nowhere in the Bible does it directly or indirectly say that the Rapture will take place before the 7-year period spoken of by Daniel the prophet (Daniel 9:27) and other prophetic writers of Scripture. Is there a 2 1/2 Coming, a Third Coming, or, as the Bible indicates, a Second Coming? kalos |

Thank you kalos for a kind response. I may have spoken in a more pointed way than I intended to convey. I could have written your response as my own for the most part. Pre-Trib all my life without knowing why. When I looked into it... it just didn't fit. I have read THE SIGN and am glad you are going to do so. Rosenthal's book THE PREWRATH RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH is not as deep as THE SIGN but it is a very good read. Maybe others will be interested in joining us in some dialogue. | ||||||

Parousia: I offer you my sincere apology. I made unfounded assumptions and suspected opposition on your part, where apparently there was none intended by you. Sometimes I can really mess up. This is one of those times. If I may, I would like to offer an apology for anything in any of my posts to you that you may find offensive. This is no excuse, but sound doctrine, the Bible, and Christ Himself so often come under attack on this forum, that I am a bit gun shy and tend to overreact sometimes. You have no idea how happy I am to see that you are apparently not opposed to the Pre-Wrath position. Again, my apologies. My bark is much worse than my bite. Grace and peace to you, kalos |
