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?
From my previous post: “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.”
“...always...” I believe that covers it. I believe “the rapture”, whether pre-trib, pre-wrath, or post-trib is hinted at in scripture. I don’t believe it is doctrine to rest my faith on, though. I’ve just always been interested in eschatology and related subjects.
We are told we will probably suffer for Christ and to bring glory to the Father. We are not called to suffer HIS wrath, though, as that was put first upon Christ on the Cross. But yes, suffer in this world we will, for Christ. Never the less, come quickly Lord Jesus!
