ACCORDING TO PRE TRIBBERS that it was it means . YOU NEED to read the bible FOR YOURSELF my dear friend .
THEY all knew and they all taught the COMING OF JESUS as a one time event .
HE WILL COME FOR THE CHURCH , AS HE , HE HIMSELF lays down wrath against the BEAST < FP
and all who followed it and took its mark .
THIS IS a one time event that is very easily read and seen in the scriptures . PRE TRIB teachers
are the ones who says OH IT MEANETH THIS OR THAT to fit their own TEACHING . and that iS a problem .
Its better if we would just read the bible for ourselves . IT WILL come together so clear in time .
Pretrib has to admit to more than one second coming, extra returns of Christ for sure. It is right in the text of 1 Thess 4 about His return. The scripture only speaks of Him coming a second time apart from sin for salvation, that salvation is our deliverance from this present evil age.
Hebrews 9
27 And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment, 28 so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.
1 Peter 1
5
who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
It is our salvation that Christ returns a second time, but it also means the sudden destruction of the wicked.
The last days are really hard time for all life on earth, it is why Christ said the Father shortens those days or no flesh would survive.
15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord,
that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are [d]asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.
v15 is the return of Christ. And every eye shall see Him coming in the clouds. Christ does not partially return and wait to finish coming down pretrib or mid trib. Christ's return is the sign of the end of the Great Tribulation, the destruction of the wicked, and our deliverance from the current evil age, our salvation.
Revelation 1:7
Behold, He is coming with clouds, and
every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen.
