I believe the Lord's return is impending, not imminent. Imminent suggests something is immediately about to happen, impending simply suggest approaching - whether near or far. None of the predictions in Rev were imminent or they would have happened 2000 years ago. At Pentecost the Gospel still hadn't gone out to the Gentiles. Christ couldn't come until it had gone to all nations. How could it have been imminent (any moment)?
It says the end will come....not that Jesus would return....art the imminent rapture.

14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

  • Where is the rapture for believers in Scripture, followed by a trib period?
  • Where is the rapture for believers in Revelation, followed by a trib period?
The word rapture is not in Scripture.

The wording, “followed by a Trib period” might be in a toddler or Student Bible, but that wording not in an Adult Bible.

You would have to Study Scripture, find the Words for what Rapture means…

And Study Scripture to find;

WHO is appointed to suffer portions of the Trib sent from Heaven,

WHY they are appointed to suffer portions of that Trib.

WHO is NOT Appointed to suffer portions of that Trib.

WHY they are NOT Appointed to suffer portions of that Trib.

HOW They are KEPT From Suffering That Trib.

WHEN They are KEPT from suffering that Trib.

You have been told Who, Why, How, When, shown in Scripture, yet reject to Believe.

yes it is. Learn the meaning of caught up and the languages it has been translated into.

Please identify where the WORD “Rapture” is in Scripture.

I am fully aware of what The WORD Rapture means and have no need to learn what I already know.

That is the great commission. That is ongoing. It will come to an end when Jesus comes.

Okay then. We agree. There is no pre-trib rapture.
