Bible Note: Guess I'm not the only dummy around. I also have Van Kampen's writing and was,naturally, pleased to find someone who was understanding the scriptures to say the same thing they were saying to me. I'm 70 years old and, after many years of asking preachers, talk show hosts, and teachers to show me, scripturally, where I was in error, I have pretty much resigned myself to the fact that most hold their eschatological postions based on what they have always heard. I have many times heard Dr. Walter Martin, the former "Bible answer man", try to show folks that Jesus said "After the tribulation", however, since Dr. Martin died, the Bible answer man is now teaching pre-trib. Oh, well, I know that WHEN Christ returns is not as important as the fact that He will, in God's time. It does bother me though just to think about how confused the church will be when they find themselves in the great tribulation period and won't know what is next. Thanks again for your response, Ben |
