Re: The Pre-Tribulation Rapture Theory?? who made it up???
John Nelson Darby

Darby is credited with originating the "secret rapture" theory wherein Christ will suddenly remove His bride, the Church, from this world before the judgments of the tribulation. Some claim that this book [what book?] was the origin of the idea of the "rapture." Dispensationalist beliefs about the fate of the Jews and the re-establishment of the Kingdom of Israel put dispensationalists at the forefront of Christian Zionism, because "God is able to graft them in again," and they believe that in His grace he will do so according to their understanding of Old Testament prophecy. They believe that, while the ways of God may change, His purposes to bless Israel will never be forgotten, just as He has shown unmerited favour to the Church, He will do so to a remnant of Israel to fulfill all the promises made to the genetic seed of Abraham.

If its not pre trib it destroys the imminence of Jesus return. And the bible describes this often as the owner of the house who will return when you do not expect it. And to keep oil in our lamps lest we be without when we need it.

Clouds is meant groups; groups, gathering of angels.

Air is spirit

There is no one going anywhere during the change spoken of at the occurrence of the 7th trump. Christ is coming here and staying here all the way through the millennium until after the great white throne of judgment after which God brings heaven here with Him

It all happens HERE.. Not up in the clouds playing harps.

Now where satan might take those that are ready to fly away is another thing altogether. So he may have some snatching away event planned. But it Will only happen before The only begotten Son of God returns.

Hold fast to your crowns. Means don't be decieved because we have been foretold all things Plus given power over serpents and scorpions. But only when we have Gods wisdom sealed in our minds.

For example, regardless if it's pre / post, I believe one should still focus on living a righteous life.

Sounds closer to what I believe.

I think it will happen in this order:

1). Earthquake (just like the one at the time of Jesus resurrection, then they went into the city and ministered).

2). Those who have died in Christ will rise first.

3). There will be a gathering together unto him.

4). A time of ministry 30-40 days...(Provided for and protected in a place like Goshen).

Most will least expect Christ when they think He is already here. Except it will not be Christ but instead satan having been firmly shaken from heaven out onto the earth. We need the oil to keep our lights burning thru the tribulation of satan who comes playing God. Christ said He expects the fire already kindled when He returns and without oil there will be no one standing to bring forth fire or light.


Righteous in Christ is truth.. Righteous yet being decieved that the devil is Christ is just plain decieved having run out of oil and and bowed ones knee. Satan comes transformed, better said disguised, as an angel of light. He will be bring what looks, sounds, and even feels like righteousness but it will be his primary weapon used to war against God and His saints.

Our fore fathers who died in Christ have already risen. They are already home. God is the God of the Living.. All return to Him either in Christ or still spiritually dead when the silver chord is parted. There is no need for the physical body anymore after it dies.

The earth will shake when satan is cast out at the 6th trump. Not nearly like it will though when the Christ returns at the 7th.

As for the dead in Christ rising first mentioned above. Be aware satan will bring many fallen angels with him all in spiritual bodies and will would be within his power to use them to feign a resurrection of dead and fool those who are ignorant to where the dead are once they pass from the flesh in this world.

your are wrong...it makes sense why the Lord says he comes
as a thief in the night...meaning most will not expect it
(will not believe it)
Your issue should be directed at
Paul who under the inspiration of the Spirit spoke of a
moment...in the twinkling of an eye...the true Christian
church would be taken up. Pretty simple stuff from a God
who has us living on a planet hanging in the middle of

Re: The Pre-Tribulation Rapture Theory?? who made it up???
strange thing that Christians disagree about.

The apostle Paul clearly states a pretrib rapture to the Thessalonians prompting them angst that they had already missed it.

1820 my foot.

These new converts shortly after Christ's earthly ministry saw daily life taking place as normal but suspected that the secret event happened leaving them behind. Where did they get the idea of a secret rapture that they had missed?

Don't give me Matthew 24. That is specifically to the "Jew" and I believe it is for after the man of sin is revealed.

By the way, Christ will resurrect us, the only people who concern themselves with the rapture are the living which the graveyards are already full of Christians already passed and room for more.

Worry about salvation.

It appears to me that MANY Christians believe God's main purpose is to be their travel guide and host in Heaven.
 Quoting: NewThor


Many are decieved as it was written would happen.

They don't understand that to be kept from trial is to be armed before hand with the irrefutable truth and the blessings of God that He might use them by example to later redeem the rest.

They don't understand that the second test is for those that fail the first trial having not taken on the full armor of God.

Everyone will be armed with the full truth Thor, now or later after many lessons in tough love that they might make a righteous and fair choice. God knows what each child of His needs.

 Quoting: NewThor


That's one of the worst christians nightmare: Death.
Hypocrisy is so deep on them, that the know, deep down, they don't deserve whatever they preach to be rewarded after death. They all know, that their lives are so filthy that they don't deserve to be on God's grace. But they have to preach it, they must see others doing it, because they can't do it themselves. They believe that "saving" someone else, by showing them an all mercyfull God, will buy them a place in the heaven in the afterlife. The thing is, they do the opposite of what they preach.
They say not to judge, but try to do something they are against.
They say turn the other cheek, but try to question their beliefs
They say truth is on their side, but try to show something they did wrong
They say repent of your sins, but try to point that seeing someone else's sin, is a sin itself
They say the bible is the only thing they follow, but try to argue that they are distorting it to their will
They say they love one another, but how many christians really DO something for the ones in need
They say faith is gonna save you, but try to tell them that faith is within, not without
They pray for things they want, but not that often to say thanks even for their misfortune

Many things in this world to suffer over right now if we dwell on them. Certainly it will get tougher. But God promised His election that "Not one hair would be harmed". The two witnesses have a different role in Gods plan and will be killed to make a point. But just like Paul when delivered up to antipas being Herod, God will protect His own that take on His armor and apply just a little common sense. There are pleanty other examples of Gods capability to keep one safe while surrounded in trouble if He can use that child in execution of His will.

2). Those who have died in Christ will rise first, and be joined together, with those of us who remain.

4). A time of ministry 30-40 days...(Provided for and protected in a place like Goshen).

Re: The Pre-Tribulation Rapture Theory?? who made it up???
The pre-trib theory is correct. The problem comes in because most believe in a 7 year great tribulation, which is incorrect, it's only 3.50 years long.

Jesus returns for His bride right at the start of the last 3.50 years.
