Let me just say this. I think I've heard most all of the arguments. I can sit back and objectively select what sounds more biblical to me. Most all of the confusing passages have finally become clear to me for the most part. I do think that misunderstanding of various passages can throw everything off, and make it hard to decide one way or another.
OK, Cool!
So then you know that rapture views are based more on a persons ecclesiology, and Israelology, than on end of age prophecies, would you agree with that?
How we understand "Israel", and how we understand the ekklesia, these will determine just how we read the prophecies.
Do you share @Curtis 's view that the reason for the Thessalonian church being troubled was that they were being told they had missed a pre-trib rapture? Just curious about that.
I'll revisit your post of the Scriptures that show post trib rapture.
When you say "post trib", do you mean it like the early church writers? Post tribulation, post wrath of God, post everything?
Much love!
