Bible Question: ALL THOSE WHO HAVE HEARD THE MESSAGE OF SALVATION AND REFUSED TO ACCEPT IT, WILL THEY HAVE A SECOND CHANCE TO BE SAVED IN THE TRIBULATION PERIOD? WILL THE LORD HAVE MERCY ON THEM. |
Bible Answer: The Bible says: "Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation" (2 Corinthians 6:2). "How shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation?" (Hebrews 2:3). There will be no second chance for those who miss the second coming of Jesus, spoken of in 1 Thessalonians 4:16, 17, which teaches that at Jesus' second coming, the dead in Christ will rise first, and we which are alive and remain will be caught up with them in the air, and shall ever be with the Lord. Paul clearly said those who are not "caught up" will experience "sudden destruction" and shall "not escape" (1 Thess. 5:3). 3) The majority of Protestant scholars (Lutheran, Baptist, Methodist, Reformed, Presbyterian, etc.) from the 1500's to the early 1900's applied the Bible's "Antichrist" prophecies about the "little horn" (Dan. 7:8) and the "beast" (Rev. 13:1) to the historical "falling away" (2 Thess. 2:3), activity and worldwide influence of the Roman Church. According to this viewpoint (called Historicism - meaning prophecy has been fulfilled throughout Christian history), the very essense of Antichrist involves present deceptions within the professed Christian Church which lead away from Jesus Christ I recommend enrolling in a FREE Bible Prophecy Course at http://www.bibleuniverse.com/logon.asp for answers to this question.
