Subject: Why should we believe a "secret rapture" |
Bible Note: Greetings CDBJ! If I may, I would like to add some comments to this discussion. As you may remember, i am a believer in a mid-trib rapture. The interpretative scheme that I use to understand Revelation is basically this: 1) I see the 7 seals as very general judgements of God which occur during the church age. 2) I see the 7 trumpets as more specific judgements of God which occur during the first 3 1/2 years of Daniel's 70th week - with the rapture occuring after the 7th trumpet (probably in Rev. 14). 3) I see the 7 bowls as very intense expressions of God's wrath which will be poured out during the final 3 1/2 years of Daniel's 70th week. This system has helped me to get a better grasp on Revelation. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
