Do you suffer from compartmentalization of the mind? Rapture doctrine is full of holes... and IF those adherents knew who the anti-Christ literally is, they would NOT need an escape hatch. The 'rapture doctrine' was born out of the ignorance of not knowing just who is the anti-Christ.
Paul knew who the 'anti-Christ is. Check out what Paul said was one of his major concerns ...
II Corinthians 11:2 ... Paul knew what happened at the Garden Party, and He feared a repeat performance ... a wedding out of season..
11:2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 11:4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.
Christ shortened the 'time' of Daniel's prophecy for the elect sake. No need to fly away to save souls.
Were Enoch and Elijah 'born again'? I thought that was a prerequisite for the rapture journey?
But we NEED an escape hatch!!!!!! We are so afraid of getting hurt!!!!!
