Man's theory of a Pre-tribulational Rapture is dangerous to one's soul who believes it.

The reason is because that idea by men is designed to lead you to worship of the devil in the last days.

Lord Jesus showed that His coming to gather His Church is AFTER... the tribulation He forewarned us about (Matthew 24:29-31 and Mark 13:24-27).

The Pre-tribulational Rapture theory was never a doctrine of the early Church.

Pre-trib began to first be taught in certain churches in 1830's Great Britain by Edward Irving and John Nelson Darby. Prior to that ALL Christian Churches held to the Biblical Post-tribulational coming by Christ Jesus to gather His Church.

In Matthew 24 and Mark 13, Jesus warned about the coming of a pseudo-Christ (i.e., false Messiah) PRIOR to His return and gathering of His saints (His Church).

Christ's Book of Revelation reveals that coming false one to Jerusalem at the end will be the "dragon", the devil himself.

Men's false Pre-trib Rapture theory wrongly teaches that the Church are the first ones 'taken' in Christ's parable about the one taken, and the other left, at the end of Luke 17:34-37.

Jesus showed the first one 'taken' will be to where the fowls are gathered to eat on a dead carcase (Luke 17:37; see also the parallel in Matthew 24:28). That points to the devil's servants, and where the devil will be.

What is eternally dangerous to your soul, is this....

-
New International Version
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them.

New Living Translation
And anyone who believes in God’s Son has eternal life. Anyone who doesn’t obey the Son will never experience eternal life but remains under God’s angry judgment.”

King James Bible
He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

New King James Version
He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”

New American Standard Bible
The one who believes in the Son has eternal life; but the one who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.”

NASB 1995
“He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”

NASB 1977
“He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”

Amplified Bible
He who believes and trusts in the Son and accepts Him [as Savior] has eternal life [that is, already possesses it]; but he who does not believe the Son and chooses to reject Him, [disobeying Him and denying Him as Savior] will not see [eternal] life, but [instead] the wrath of God hangs over him continually.”

A voice from the long past on Pre-tribulation Rapture​


As the time of the Rapture becomes closer and we see clearer signs of the nearness of the Tribulation the voice of Ephraim the Syrian comforts us in the knowledge that the Pre-tribulation Rapture is a valid eschatological belief for the church approaching the time of the tribulation.
On the Last Times, the Antichrist, and the End of the World, written by Ephraim the Syrian (sometimes spelled Ephrem), an early church father, who lived from A.D. 306–373.
“For all the saints and Elect of God are gathered, prior to the Tribulation that is to come, and are taken to the Lord lest they see the confusion that is to overwhelm the world because of our sins.”
“For the elect shall be gathered prior to the tribulation, so they shall not see the confusion and the great tribulation coming upon the unrighteous world.” === Pray you be counted worthy to escape and be counted worthy!!!

“For all the saints and Elect of God are gathered, prior to the Tribulation

Absolutely.

God is not going to Put the Bride of His Son, through the coming Judgement that is sent to :

= "all those who do not obey the Gospel".
See, .... the BRIDE has already "OBEYED from the Heart" = BELIEVED the Truth that Jesus is Messiah. Jesus is Lord. Jesus is SALVATION.

Thank you for this. It shows that the believers of centuries ago believed in the per-tribulation Rapture. I am personally unsure of the timing of the Rapture, pre or mid.

The bride of Christ is created in a time of history, that the NT defines as "the TIME of The Gentiles".

God is specifically dealing with GENTILES, through the Cross of Christ.... and this stops.. this "time of the Gentiles" ends.
And of course JEWs can be saved in this "time".

When this TIME is over, God renews his SPECIFIC dealing with the JEW and the unbelievers..... and that is JUDGMENT.

= TRIBULATION.

The BRIDE, is not here.

Hi Behold. Yes, I have heard this theory many times, and it sounds plausible, but the mid-tribulation theory is compelling as well. So, I'm unsure.

Let me assure you............in a friendly way...........that if you are not a Christian, when The Trib Starts........ you will go through it.

And its going to be hell on earth, released.
Unimaginable misery.

Please miss that.

Receive Christ in your heart, as your Savior.

How so? If the pre-trib rapture is real, then we are gone, and not worshipping the devil. If the pre-trib rapture is not real, we remain indwelled by the Holy Spirit, how does that lead us to devil worship?

That seems completely non-sequitor to me. Why would I worship the devil because I've concluded the rapture is pre-trib?

Much love!

Do some BIBLE study
Believe only what was written by the Holy Spirit found only in the WORD = Matthew ch24

At that time, if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There He is!’ do not believe it. For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders that would deceive even the elect, if that were possible. See, I have told you in advance.

So if they tell you, ‘There He is in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Here He is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.

Immediately after the tribulation of those days:
‘The sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not give its light;
the stars will fall from the sky,
and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.’

At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory.
And He will send out His angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather His elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.

Holy Spirit Prophecy 2023 = There will be no pre-trib rapture in 2023

PROPHECY of the WORD
At that time Michael shall stand up,
The great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people;
And there shall be a time of trouble,
Such as never was since there was a nation,
Even to that time.
And at that time your people shall be delivered,
Every one who is found written in the book = Luke 10:20
And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, = 1 Thess 4:13-18 & 1 Cor ch15
Some to everlasting life,
Some to shame and everlasting contempt.
Those who are wise shall shine = 1 John 3:1-3
Like the brightness of the firmament,
And those who turn many to righteousness
Like the stars forever and ever.

The Voice from the long past on pre-tribulation rapture

An astonishing and horrible thing
Has been committed in the land:
The prophets prophesy falsely,
And the priests rule by their own power;
And My people love to have it so.
But what will you do in the end?
Jeremiah 5:30-31

Fight against rapture and God's Word and you are left behind!!
The Second Coming of Christ where HE brings the Saints for their Resurrection/Transformation and the rapture is 100% TRUTH

1 Thess 4:13-18
But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope.
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.

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 asleep. 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. 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.
Therefore comfort one another with these words.

Well, using a rock band, that is said to be ingrained in witchcraft, is not a convincing way to get your point across to a believer in Jesus Christ.

You are thinking of the FM song..."Rhianna' , that is about an actual Witch.

That reminds me of "The Eagles"....their album "Hotel California', This Title is referring to Anton Le Vey's "Black House" that was in California, and is a noted "Church of Satan".

So sure, lots of that stuff in Pop and Rock music for the last 60 yrs +
Lots of Paganism also.... but that is more often found in Euro Countries like the Netherlands and Amsterdam and Denmark, where Paganism that is related to "Pan" worship, is very popular.

Here is a song for those of us who are waiting for the Coming of our LORD Jesus Christ


Luke 21:34-36
But watch yourselves, or your hearts will be weighed down by dissipation, drunkenness, and the worries of life—and that day will spring upon you suddenly like a snare. For it will come upon all who dwell on the face of all the earth. So keep watch at all times, and pray that you may have the strength to escape all that is about to happen and to stand before the Son of Man.
