Bible Question: I believe in posttrib. rapture. If anyone else does can you tell me where the best place to live would be durring the tribulation so that I and my faamily would not feel as much of the effects of the tribulation. |
Bible Answer: Hi fox21, The safest place I know of to spend this time is with Jesus, that is where I hope to be during the tribulation. I will state my reasons why here. Since the word rapture is not found in any translations that I know of, it can be an extremely controversial subject. I try to keep an open mind on the subject. My primary passage concerning the timing of the Rapture is Revelation 3:10. This is where Christ promises to deliver believers from the “hour of trial” that is going to come upon the earth. To me, this either means that Christ will protect believers in the midst of the trials, or that He will deliver believers out of the trials. Christ is promising to keep believers from not the trial, but the hour, or span of time that contains the trials, or the onset of trials, or wrath as some say, namely the Tribulation. The purpose of the Tribulation, the purpose of the Rapture, the meaning of 1 Thessalonians 5:9, and the interpretation of Revelation 3:10 all are supportive of the Pretribulational position. If you have found some convincing evidence of post-tribulation rapture, I invite you to attempt to convince me. God's Blessings to you and yours, Tim |
