refuted by 1 thessalonians 5:9 and Rev. 3:10.

1 Thessalonians 5:9 (New International Version)

9For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.

this is answered with a question, when does God's wrath begin?

Revelation 3:10 (New International Version)

10Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come upon the whole world to test those who live on the earth.

we are blessed to be part of the first resurrection , it's all about timing!


I want to talk about these 2 but I will post 2 gathering unto Him verses first with timing in the verse.


Matt 24:
30"At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory. 31And he will send 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.

Rev 20:
4 I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony for Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his image and had not received his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5(The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection. 6Blessed and holy are those who have part in the first resurrection.




Pre trib has to explain away timing verses that don't fit your model! If you understand there will only be 2 general resurrections 1 of the Holy and 1 of the damned it makes things much easier to see.

You can hold on to a pre trib concept but at some point you will have to tell yourself you are wrong!!
