Subject: Are there any scriptures for the rapture |
Bible Note: Hi M.Royal Given the message in 1thess 5:8-10, v8 But since we are of the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet, the hope of salvation. v9 For God has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, v10 who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep, we will live together with Him. My friend maybe you haven't taken a good look at what go's on in the Great Tribulation, But the (Wrath of God) is quite frightening, and very devastating, and I don't see much hope, in a post trib view of salvation. God In his Word makes is Very clear that he has NOT appointed His own for the wrath. Unless you can clear up this discrepancy in a post trib rapture, I would have to categorically reject a post trib rapture. and furthermore, I don't see how it carries out what we are told to do in verse 1Thess 5:11 "Therefore encourage one another and build up one another, just as you also are doing." Quite on the contrary, I see a post trib Rapture as very discouraging, and therefore not doing what Scripture tells us to do. I would encourage you, to take another look my friend. Are you in the will of God teaching that he has appointed his children to wrath? We have a very gracious God, and a wonderful saviour in Jesus Christ, Lets look at the entire counsel of the Holly writ before we make a judgment on one part, and especially a part that should hold (hope) for God's Children, and not confusion and dismay. God bless. John |
