He say's that after Rev. 4 the church never appears again until the return of Christ in chapter 19. It amazes me that a man with such international influence can goof that up! He's basing his beliefs on something that he say's "is not in scripture" (church) when in fact it is!
We have martyrs, saints, brethren, servants, sealed servants, fellow servants,...all over Revelation. What a blunder from such an educated man.
He say's,
"the absence of instruction or warning to the church about the tribulation."
Makes no sense to me why we would be warned about something while we are in it's midst!
He say's, "we go up and come right back down again." Another colossal blunder. We are resurrected from paradise. And you can't get into heaven without a glorified body anyway which we don't get until after chapter 14 where the rapture takes place anyway!
Then he say's there will be no one to populate the Millennium. Amazing that a man of that caliber is unable to interpret the separation of the sheep and goats which is the judgement that determines who populates the Millennium.
I've never been fond of MacArthur. He's another offensive anti-Catholic basher. I actually avoid him like the plague!
All I see is the same old pre-tribulational garbage that the devil wants promoted and believed throughout the church!
Revelation 12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
14 And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
15 And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.
16 And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.
17 And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
18 And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.
19 And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
20 And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.
Revelation 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
