Subject: How can Christ return be imminent? |
Bible Note: Greetings CDBJ and Tim, same here. Pre-wrath is the only position that lines up with all scriptures dealing with the second coming and rapture. I was pretrib for most of my life just because that's what I was taught. One of the problems I have with explaining prewrath to my fellow brothers and sisters who hold to pretrib is that they want to view the rapture and the 2nd coming as 2 separate events. I try to explain it this way: What did the 1st coming of Christ entail? 1. His birth 2. His earthly ministry 3. His death 4. His burial and resurrection 4. His ascension. All separate events but they together constitute His first coming. Likewise, His 2nd coming will entail: 1. the rapture 2. the great tribulation 3. the wrath of God/start of the Day of the Lord 4. the battle of Armeggedon 5. His triumphal return (White horse) 6. Setting up the millenial kingdom. All separate events but together they constitute His second coming. What do you think? In Christ, Bill Mc |
