Bible Question:
The Rapture. This doctrine, the disappearance of the church seven years prior to the return of Christ, is not a doctrine that anyone in the history of the church ever held to until about 150 years ago. My question is, if the Bible teaches this, why didn't anybody see it for almost 2000 years? |
Bible Answer: Greetings kalos, We have not seen it in the past 2000 years because Christ did not open our eyes to see it until now. This is just one example of many that Christ chose to reveal to us at a specific time. I am sure there will be many more in the coming days and months that we will say "well, duh! Why didn't I see this before!" prayon |
