Bible Note: Hi cmfrantz: Here's why I believe Scripture teaches a pre-trib rapture: Dan 9:24 "Seventy weeks have been decreed for your people and your holy city"--The 70 weeks prophecy has to do with Daniel's "people" (Israel) and his "holy city" (Jerusalem)! The 69th week ended with "Messiah cut off" so one "week" is left for Israel: the Tribulation "week"! In Matt 24, Jesus' description of the Trib "week" is all about Jewish aspects: "standing in the holy place"--"those in Judea"--"Sabbath"--"false Christs (Messiahs) and prophets" Matt 4:23, Jesus is "proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom" which is the same that He says will be proclaimed during the Trib. (Matt 24:14)The same message Jesus brought to Israel will be preached by the 144,000 Jewish evangelists in Rev. Rev 1:19 gives us the outline which is chronological: "What you have seen"--Christ in His glorified body (Christ ascended before the church began); "the things which are"--the 7 churches which are at the beginning of the church age; "the things which shall take place after these things"--what happens after the church age! Also, with all the details given in Rev. about the Trib. yet no mention of the church from 3:22 until 22:16. The rapture of the church before the Trib is a logical event to indicate the beginning of it. If the church goes through the Trib. what event triggers it? How do we know when it starts? I hope this helps...at least provide food for thought! |
