Subject: Pretribulation or slightly after ? |
Bible Note: Brother CDBJ: Thank you for sharing your personal pilgrimage in studing the Truth. I too have been studing for eschatology for nearly 20 years. I believe by what you say we are on the same track. I am totally in agreement in the fact some eschatological experts theories have been forced to fit and the students they have taught their theories rather than how to search and study the Word for themselves. Study requires time and reading, something that is sadly lacking in many christians today. My study has brought me to basicly the same conclusion, except I am persuaded there will always be tribulation for the christian. Tribulation seems to get greater and more evil to the point of the rapture. My seeking is at what point will wickedness get to the point whem the Rapture will happen? No man knows only the Father. So how can certian authors who make a living out of ploting out the rapture, who will be left behind, and what mark they will receive be so utterly pin point positive? This appears to me as a money making fear tatic by so called expert "Eschatologist". Jesus said over and over when you see this or that the time is not YET. Which leads me to believe we may have many more years of birth pains to go through before He returns. I find it hard to fit exact little pieces of scripture taken out of context and put it together with another verse some where else and call it conclusive proof of the exact coming of Christ. That to me is a serious misrepresentation of Gods Holy Word. So...I did look at web address you suggested. I did not mean to shoot any darts. I wanted to hear if anyone else had struggled as I have trying to make these theories align with what the Word said. Thank You for personal touch. Peace in Christ, farout |
