The false early rapture timing doctrine

How many different forum boards are you going to copy and paste this on?

So, this isn't y'all's first rodeo, I assume?

The rapture doctrine comes from 1 Thessalonians Chapter 4 Verse 17.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with
the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet
the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

I will tell you why I included verse 16 in a moment.

The catching up together of those who are alive when the Lord returns, that is the rapture.
So we see there will indeed be a rapture. The controversy with the rapture is not a matter of whether it
is real or not. The controversy is over the timing.

Unfortunately the ministers of Satan have taken simple to understand scripture and twisted it
to deceive unlearned Christians. The ministers of Satan teach that the rapture happens before the Lord
returns at the very end.
They teach that Christians are getting a special get out of persecution free card to leave this world early.
This is completely wrong and I will show you why it is such a dangerous doctrine to believe.

Let's look at the verses again and see if they can give us any information regarding the timing of the rapture.
In verse 16 we see the Lord returns and at that time the dead in Christ shall rise first. This is important.
The dead in Christ rise first. Then going directly to the next words in verse 17 it says "then". Then meaning
after what just preceded. Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together.

What does this mean?
This tells us the resurrection happens first and THEN the rapture happens.
Why is this important?
Because if we can figure out when the resurrection happens then we can know
exactly when the rapture happens because it takes place right after.

Thankfully God is not the author of confusion and has not left us without sound doctrine so that
we are not left in the dark concerning these things.
The Bible tells us 5 different times in the gospel of John when the resurrection takes place.

John 11:24
Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.

John 6:54
Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

John 6:44
No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

John 6:40
And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on
him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

John 6:39
And this is the Fathers will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose
nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

The word is clear, the resurrection happens on the LAST DAY.
Therefore the rapture also happens on the last day.

The reason that Satan's ministers have decided to teach this false timing rapture doctrine is because
scripture tells us the Antichrist must first come before the end.
If you are expecting the true messiah Jesus Christ to return before the very end to save
you from the persecution of the Antichrist and his wicked followers then you are actually going to get
the false messiah/Antichrist who comes to deceive the world into believing that he is God.

2 Thessalonians 2:3
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away
first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

Christians have been martyred (killed for their faith) the last 2000 years since Christ came.
They are being martyred now, even openly in eastern countries. And we will continue to be martyred until the very end.
Few will survive to take part in the rapture. Nobody is getting an escape card in these last days.

I just googled part of his obvious copy and paste and it turned up on at least 4 other boards. There's more to come.

Well, we will see who is right. the pre, mid ore when Jesus returns rapture defender. I prefer the pre trib rapture
The important thing is that HE will find us prepared. Doesent matter when!
We should not judge someone because of this matter. Because nobody knows it. Its only speculation.

I agree, there is no point in judging people over it and no matter when we think it will happen we don't have any concrete evidence. I mean I used to believe solely in the pretrib rapture but when I learned to open my mind more I saw evidence for pre pre rwrath mid and post so while I hope it is pretrib All I know is the bridegroom is coming ready or not.
Also Blessed creator with all do respect believe it or not but most people who believe in a pretrib rapture do not do so to escape suffering it would be wise to not assume you know peoples hearts search your own first

nor has the church of the living God which are not here after chapter 4 of REV.

Really?

Rev 7v9,10,14 states: "After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, saying,"Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!" ...And I said to him, "Sir, you know." So he said to me, "These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb."

To come "out of" (Greek prep. "ek") something, you first have to be "in it," these are Christians who have washed their robes in the Blood of the Lamb and come through the Great Tribulation with an overcoming faith and have "come out" of it by either martyrdom during it or by being raptured after it at the Lord's Second Coming along with the resurrected Church at the last (seventh) Trumpet. 1Cor 15v50-55, 2Thess 2v1-3, Rev 11v15-18.

The challenge for rapturists is to provide at least one direct quote saying a pre-trib rapture or a 7-year tribulation should be expected.

LOL just as soon as you provide one direct quote saying there is not

The rapture;

“For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” (1 Thessalonians 4:16–17)

“Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.” (1 Corinthians 15:51–53)


But it happens after the resurrection. Which happens on the last day

“In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” 1 Corinthians 15:52 (KJV 1900)


“Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.” (John 5:28–29)

“And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.” (John 6:39)

“No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him, and I will raise him up on the last day.” John 6:44 (HCSB)

“so man lies down and does not rise; until the heavens are no more, they will not awake nor arise from their sleep.” (Job 14:12) (NET)

I don't anywhere " there is no Pretrib Rapture ? Where did you formulate this concept clearly not from a direct quote?

As I stated earlier The Pretrin and Post trip doctrines are not of the devil or unbiblical they can be supported by the word of God yet they are not essentials other than what is known by the majority of Orthodox Christian theology as Immense coming of the Lord.

There you go.

You cannot prove something does not exist. But you cannot prove your claim that it exists and use scripture. The pre-trib rapture came from a 14-year-old girl burning up with a fever, while in a Pentecostal environment. Not from Scripture.
