    IS THE RAPTURE BEFORE THE TRIBULATION?

    No. Because Christ is the firstfruits those Afterward are main harvest. You can't have 2 firstfruits. I just shake my head at what doctrine does to bible comprehension. So now you are chosen out of Jewish tribes. For 40 years of study I have always read and understood Jesus returns postrib. I...

    The Shepherd of Hermas (AD 90 to 150), speaks of the pretribulational concept of escaping the tribulation. "You have escaped from great tribulation on account of your faith, and because you did not doubt in the presence of such a beast. Therefore, go, tell the elect of the Lord His mighty...

    IS THE RAPTURE BEFORE THE TRIBULATION?

    First of all you have to understand harvest when you see the term first fruits it automatically refers to harvest. Jesus is the first fruits of the resurrection and the ascension to heaven. When you see the harvest of the barley and the wheat that is the gentile church. The Jewish harvest is the...

    The Rapture and the Tribulation - Short

    I have a hard time understanding why postribbers are so easily misled. That idea that Darby originated the pretrib rapture was debunked over 20 years ago by Bill Cloud. New writings are being discovered all the time. Pretrib rapture is as ancient as any doctrine. But if postribbers think their...

    The Rapture and the Tribulation - Short

    Here is a small part of the article "Early Witnesses After the time of the apostles, a number of writings indicate belief in the imminence of Christ’s return, which is consistent with pre-tribulationism. Clement of Rome (35-101), Ignatius of Antioch (died 110), The Didache (a late first-century...

    The Rapture and the Tribulation - Short

    I hope one day all will center on eschatology in the sense the bible frames it. 1) it is pointing to "the fulfillment", not centered on other things I see people trying to make it into. 2) the gathering of the bride. With the wedding at the Father's house Most, if not all NT end times focus...

    The Rapture and the Tribulation - Short

    And yours was invented by dead ancients. You guys claim your doctrine is from man. You point to men to authenticate your doctrine. When they,and you have limited knowledge of eschatology. Not to mention we now have accounts of the church fathers teaching a pretrib rapture. So so wrong and...

    IS THE RAPTURE BEFORE THE TRIBULATION?

    QUOTE "Acts 1? Jesus ascended — He didn’t rapture the Church. That’s a category error. And the angels said He will return the same way He left — once, visibly, from the clouds. They didn’t say He’d come secretly seven years earlier to scoop up a hidden group. Now let's look at it instead of...

    IS THE RAPTURE BEFORE THE TRIBULATION?

    QUOTE “Worthy Ones Taken Pretrib”? Where’s the verse? Where does Jesus say “those counted worthy will be taken before the tribulation begins”?" I already told you. Jesus said "because you have kept the word of my testimony, I will also keep you from the hour of testing that's about to come up...

    IS THE RAPTURE BEFORE THE TRIBULATION?

    Jesus used Noah and Lot's deliverance side by side. He used both as pretribulation. Both gathered pretrib. But Noah is used as a vivid pretrib rapture. Noah gathered before the flood into the ark. Nothing was happening while Noah was in the ark pretrib. When the flood came, Noah was in the ark...
