Bible Note: One other note I would like to add. What if the understanding of the "glorification and rising of the saints" (see why we use 'rapture') was clearly laid out in the 19th century. Would that make it unbiblical? I mean do you think all things eschatological has been explained prior to recent time. Many things dealing with the book of Revelation have been ignored by teachers and expositors that were prolific in other areas but avoided the study of eschatology. So it stands to reason that there are many truths buried in the Scripture that were not dealt with by your favorite teachers. :) We all know (or at least the well grounded among us) that there is no room for strange new doctrines that contradict that which is well established such as salvation by faith alone etc... but there are many truths in the Bible, especially the prophets of the OT that have been ignored by the ignorant masses of the church who are too busy to study the Bible. Some of these truths are waiting to be rediscovered, not because they are new truths but becuase they have been ignored while men squabble over whether they have free will or not, or because they have been lost when once they were embraced prior to the age of the Catholicsim which lasted hundreds of years. We are still having to recover that fervency of spirit seen in the Book of Acts. Many a protestant church still wears the grave cloths of tradition that was inherited from their fore fathers but not from the Word of God. May God Bless you in your Study of His Word. |
