Bible Question: A lot of people believe that this alludes to the Rapture theory, but I've been reading a lot of the Prophets' work (Isaiah, Daniel, Ezekiel and Revelations) and I see nothing saying that God's church will be sent up to Heaven before the Tribulation. Can someone please site and clarify? Also, why a WAR trumpet? |
Bible Answer: remember John was trying to describe something different. There is an Order of Presedence. In other words i.e. God had to send Moses...then had to stop the Egyptians...split the waters...and so on. If christians are around when the anti-christ and other things happen, they could Stop them from happing. Because Jesus said All Power Is Given To You... Additionally we are Joint heirs with Christ... |
