Thank you to all of you who participated in the Right to Life booth at the 4-H Fair last week.
Prophetic Watch!
I believe the Bible teaches a pre-trib Rapture because a pre-trib Rapture puts the last days and the Tribulation into a context consistent with the overall flow of Bible prophecy.
The pre-trib Rapture doctrine has no saving value. It is of no eternal consequence to anyone that they believe in a pre-trib Rapture. I feel no particular need to convert someone to my understanding of the last days.
One is saved by God’s grace through faith in the finished Work of His Son on the Cross as payment in full as our pardon for sin.
But without the pre-trib Rapture doctrine, Bible prophecy must be interpreted allegorically or spiritually, rather than literally as the Holy Spiritually intended.
The purpose of the rapture is to rescue the church from the tribulation. The purpose of the 2nd coming is to rescue Israel from destruction and to set up the millennial kingdom. There are nearly 15 clear distinctions between the rapture and the second coming, but that is a report for another day.
Maranatha!
