You are right in that it being SECRET is a Myth. A myth put on by the liberal theologians that it is a secret. It will be anything BUT Secret and the Devil has to be READY with some poser to step up and make some sort of explanation for the event.
There is one REAL question I have for the non rapturites. WHY is God going to bring all those plagues and deaths and unbelievably bad things in Revelation down on the world?
I mean what is His goal? Purpose? WHY DO IT?
There are ONLY two answers and NEITHER support a non rapture position.
First: PUNISHMENT. You know, he’s had enough of the bad sinners. OK. So, He is going to punish all his GOOD believers too? At the same time? Ruin their lives in a living hell?
Second: REPENTANCE: You know, “I won’t believe in God until I see X Y Z for myself. OK, you asked for it... ya believe it Now buddy? THAT? Well, what does that do for those who already believe? Jack Nada! To bad, sucks to be you born at this time, all that church was for nothing, you get screwed with the sinners just the same?
NO TO BOTH!
YES TO BOTH!
Both reasons are TRUE. To punish the wicked and wake the others up. He is UNWILLING that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Some just need to see wild shit go down before they “get it”.
Thus, the Church, His bride, US, Believers will be SPARED His Wrath. We are not subject to wrath. We don’t need to be punished or woken up. Oh, some of you reading this do and you WILL BE HERE for the wake up call... pack lots of beans and ammo... it won’t be pretty. But it will be real.
You are so right about the rapture. And WHEN it happens, I hope that everyone left behind go straight to their Bible, and start reading, from Hebrews to Revelation. It will be their survival guide to the tribulation. If they desire to endure to the end to be saved.
If you could ‘see’ in the magnetic spectrum, you would see that this planet is now thoroughly filthy, wrapped in the electromagnetic envelope of porn and lies, etc. All one needs to ‘receive’ the filth is the tuned receiver of the constantly ‘there’ around us of the electromagnetic waves carrying the filth, covering our world with the filth, tainting beyond human understanding the gleaming jewel God created originally for the human family as dwelling place. The tribulation severity will cleanse this filth away, in prep for the new, clean place for human dwelling, humans ‘redone’ as God intended ... now learn of the thousand year slice when the author of lies a murderer from the start will be loosed and destroyed in the end.
You said:
“There is one REAL question I have for the non rapturites.”
“There are ONLY two answers and NEITHER support a non rapture position.”
The non-rapture position? Non-rapturites? What are you talking about here? Are you referring to Full Preterists who do not believe in a future rapture?
The “Five Myths about the Rapture” article, is about people who believe in a future rapture, but have different views about when it will take place. Trust me, I believe in the rapture. However, I do not believe it will take place before the tribulation, I believe it takes place at the end of it.
Were you to change your words to this your questions would make more sense:
“There is one REAL question I have for those who do not believe in a pretribulation rapture.”
“There are ONLY two answers and NEITHER support a non pretrib rapture position.”
