it all comes down to matthew 24:29-31 as the rapture and second coming being the one same event at the close of the tribulation period.
jesus said it.
it’s plainly accounted for via the holy spirit’s efficiency.
jesus said it.
But He didn't say it to the Gentile church...Jesus told Paul what to say to the Gentile church...
Jesus created the Gentile church to provoke the Jews to jealousy...The Jews are not yet jealous...They don't believe we Christians are heaven bound...
The only way they will know we are heaven bound is if we head on out and leave them behind (Rapture)...
But Lo, God is not done...God will put the Jews (and all that rejected Jesus in THIS age) thru a Great Tribulation to try to provoke them to accept the Messiah, one more time...
To reject all the scripture that speaks to that because Jesus didn't mention it in person to the Jewish diciples in the book of Matthew is a little confusing to me...
And no doubt, all that scripture in Zechariah and some of the other Minor Prophets, as well as Ezekial, etc. that has scripture that NO ONE can intelligently expound on will likely be revealed to the Jews during this Tribulation period, just as the Pre Trib Rapture was revealed to the church when the time was getting close...
All I can say is, What A Book...What A God...
