it would be nice if you did read the article.

I just did. It is an excellent article. But it ignores the Old Testament references to the rapture, which is quite common. Together they paint a powerful case for a pre-tribulation rapture.

jesus’ words in mt 24, mk 13 and lk 21 are THE KEY WORDS.

no use to go further if one does not want to.

jesus, deity incarnate, responded to the disciples’ questions regarding his return.

that info is primary.

that info points to a POST-TRIB rapture coinciding with the second coming. this IS the key passage from jesus’ lips: matthew 24:29-31.

all other second coming prophetic passages should be read in light of jesus’ words.

ps:

there is no powerful case for a pre-trib rapture in the old testament for the ot passages would not contradict jesus’ clear statement in mt 24:29-31.

jesus’ data come first, above all else. all else must be read through jesus’ clear data. not the other way around.

jesus’ detail is PRIMARY.
