If we will reign with Him here on earth, would you explain 1 Thessalonians 4:17 "Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord" Are we meeting Him in the air to return to earth? If we are going to be on earth why don't we wait right here instead of going up to come back down? |

The dead in Christ will rise first. Those who have accepted Jesus as their Savior and have died or been killed will rise first, then we who remain on the earth. (ie., the born again people) will meet Jesus in the air. We will go with Him for the seven years of tribulation that the earth HAS to go through. No one in their right mind would want to stay here for those seven years of tribulation. They will be so bad that Scripture says it would seem like the whole population of the earth would be destroyed. But God shall intervene and subdue the destroyer. I prefer to meet Jesus in the air, have a banquet with Him. Be judged at the Great White Throne for what I have done in His Name. Then after the seven years are up we will come back with Him, defeat the enemy (Satan)and spend the next 1,000 years on earth with Him, before Satan is released again for another season. Some allude the term 'season' to 4 months. Other to 400 years. Either way, we will be residing with Jesus. You can find this in the Book of Revelation. | ||||||

Is there a pretribulation rapture? 'Pretribulationalism 'This view was first known as "the secret" or "any moment rapture." It is a relatively new position which was first taught by the founder of the Catholic Apostolic Church, Edward Irving, in the late 1820's. It was then picked up by Plymouth Brethren pastor John Nelson Darby, and he first preached on it in 1843. It came to America in the late 1800's . . . 'Pretribulationists teach that the return of Christ has been imminent since the days of the early church and that the church will be raptured sometime before the seventieth week begins. Although they have no Scripture that in so many words teaches it, they teach that there are no signs and the rapture could take place at any moment. The seventieth week of Daniel is therefore considered to be a seven-year period of God's judgmental "tribulation" (hence the term pretribulation). This position generally views the seventieth week as the day of the Lord's wrath from which the church is excluded.' 'Prewrath 'The Prewrath position teaches that the true church will be raptured when the great tribulation by Antichrist, inspired by Satan, is cut short by God's day-of-the-Lord wrath, which will occur between the sixth and seventh seals of Revelation, sometime during the second half of the seventieth week. The persecution associated with the great tribulation of Antichrist is viewed as the wrath of Satan, whereas the events that follow, beginning with the seventh seal, are considered the wrath of God. There is another term that is sometimes expressed, "historical premillennialism," which refers back to the teaching of the early church fathers before 325 A.D. who believed that the church would face the persecution of Antichrist and Christ would then reign for 1000 years upon the earth. With the exception of two, Origen and Clement of Alexandria, who were allegorist, they all taught this view. Prewrath is plainly and simply an expansion of this view which was biblical then and biblical now.' (www.solagroup.org/) |
