The Case for a Post-Tribulation Second Coming

[soberxp]

The “coming” of Christ…is one event.
The “return” of Christ…..is another event.

Sounds fair.

 

[William Barton]

The purpose of the rapture is to remove believers from the field of the coming battle. The millennium begins after this battle, which will be fought when Jesus with his mighty angels descend from the sky.

The English word "rapture" stems from Latin rapere = "to seize." This reflects "we will be caught up" in 1Thessalonians 4:17.

It's in the Book.

 

[CrowCross]

"Then I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse! He who sat upon it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war." (Revelation 19:11).

After the resurrection/rapture event of 1 Thes 4...and my 7 years of living in heaven in the room Jesus said He would come back for us and take us to in John 14... and enjoying the marriage supper of the Lamb...I plan on riding back with Jesus on my own white horse in Rev 19.

Is this the rapture? If it is the rapture it sounds pre-trib to me.
God removes the wheat and leaves the tares for the tribulation.

The burning/LOF is punishment not tribulation. This event happens after the second coming and Millennium, Rev 20. Therefore it is not a Pre-trib event.

Why do christians object to that? Do those christians want to go through the tribulation?

No, but they also don't want to commit Apostasy, which is worse than going through the trib that God said the church will go through.

He did not say "take us to" anywhere. The rooms are for those who die from the cross to the second comin g. At the Coming, he remains here and that is where we shall be. Re-read what Christ said in that passage.

in John 14... and enjoying the marriage supper of the Lamb...I plan on riding back with Jesus on my own white horse in Rev 19.

Just make sure you aren't fooled by the other white horse rider as he comes first and he will imitate the second coming and a fake but very convincing rapture could be part of that entire deception.

Tell any jesus that offers a pre-tribulation rapture, "No thanks!".
