1 | Pre-Wrath Rapture? | Bible general Archive 1 | Parousia | 56022 | ||
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: Please look at the note I sent to Kalos. This is a very interesting subject. This is the kind of dialogue I enjoy. This is a dialogue that only the LORD knows the complete answer, the date, and time of Christ's return. So at best we are still putting a puzzel together. The best part is no one can say if you do not believe this way you are not saved! I hope not anyway! Good the have you with us! agape, justme |

justme: I read your note to kalos just before receving the one to me. You are right on. I do believe that there is a great danger in people believing that they will not go through any tribulation (before the Wrath of God) since they might be less likely to persevere. Pre-Wrath certainly fits the Arminian view of things! Thanks for the welcome. Parousia |

Parousia: I would say at this time I am a pre-trib. However my point is that there is now and will always be tribulation. How bad does it have to get? I honestly have no idea. In Africa millions have been killed in tribal wars. People are starving all around the world. Missionaries are killed, more each yearl. Many in our own country are hungry, or can't afford medicine and do die for lack of funds. Our economy is on shackey grounds, we are fighting a war that may have no end in sight. Many men and women who have families make very low wages compaired to 15 years ago. Where we live 8 dollars an hour is a good job! But in facy it is not, it is starvation wages. I am greatful the LORD is my protector, my Father who cares for my needs. I am blessed. Paul said he could be content, with or without his needs being taken care of. No matter what happens it is the Lord who see's over us. I have honestly come to the point where I know no matter what happens I just want to be in the LORD's will. I do not understand why some bare heavier crosses than others. I do not understand why some suffer beyond what I could endure. The American dream is a nightmare. The America I love is needing to restate it's slogans. It should be America Bless God! Not God Bless America. We the church have a lot backwards. But, Parousia, we are so blessed to be in this place. Are we in tribulation? Yes, we are. I think it will get much worse! The "YET" Jesus refered to has "yet" to come. The old Boy Scott moto "Be Prepared" is the best answer I know. agape, justme |

justme: Well friend, as usual, you are right again. No agrument from me although I have found the Pre-Wrath position lines up with the Scripture the way I read it. Sure doesn't make me right but for sure I am sincere about studying the matter. As you noted, Americans really don't know anything about "tribulation" (YET)... I have traveled to many countries that know lots about the subject. I have met Christians brothers and sisters in those places that put me to shame with their faith and acceptance of the "state they are in". I have learned from them... yes, a great deal. I like your outlook brother. Parousia |
