Since both amessenger4god and Mrs.Z seem to hang so much on Pseudo-Ephraem’s supposed historical support for a pretrib rapture, I post here Bob Gundry’s comments. This professor at Westmont College, Calif. says of the two Ephraems:
“In Pseudo-Ephraem’s sermon Christians lie buried during the tribulation. They are raised from the dead, meet the Lord after the tribulation, so that their ‘meeting of the Lord Christ’ in the first supposedly pretrib passage of section 2, can hardly refer to a pretrib meeting without contradicting a good deal else in the sermon. Since Pseudo-Ephraem draws from true Ephraem, a look at true Ephraem offers guidelines for understanding Pseudo-Ephraem’s sermon. The guidelines turn out to be post – rather than pretrib.”
Gundry then proceeds to prove from the true Ephraem’s writings, from which Pseudo-Ephraem got his beliefs from, that “true” Ephraem himself was post-trib!
If there is no Rapture of the Church, why are the enemies of the Lord planning "The Lie" so diligently?
Occult and new age magazines and books are replete with false narratives to explain away this event with which you disagree.
Here are but a few of the quotes:
Planet Earth will be spared certain annihilation by an extraterrestrial evacuation of millions of people who threaten the harmony and evolution of the Earth.
Many of these beings who are leaving this planet must move on, for their thought patterns are of the past.
Those who refuse to be enlightened and infused with the light of God will be taken to other planets that are uninhabited...

In any event, all will be explained on your way up.
