Have you ever read anything about “pre-wrath” rapture? It’s been a while for me but I remember thinking there might be something to it or pre-trib. Regardless, I think we as believers need to always be prepared to meet our Lord since we don’t know when he may take us, individually.
Maranatha!
P.S. I asked my wife after the elections how we could expect revival when our country continues to murder children?
Quit looking for the easy way out. The rapture is an utterly selfish notion. God allowed himself to be nailed to the cross and suffer tredmendously - all for the love of his children. Can’t you find the fortitude to do the same for Him?
The last generation of 70 years that started in 1948, came of age 30 years later and in 1980 declared Jerusalem as capital city without giving any recognition to the Messiah. Israel is now in the 40 years of accountability because of their continued rejection of the Messiah. As a result, they will conclude a covenant with the false messiah, which will be the formal starting point of the 70th year-week of Daniel (the tribulation of seven years). Before this seven year period begins the Lord Jesus will snatch away the true believers (Luke 21:36; John 14:2-3; 1 Thess. 4:16-18).
