Why I do not believe in the 'Rapture'

Posted on 11/26/2011 3:33:54 PM PST by Iggles Phan

My problem with the 'Rapture' (pre-millenial; pre-tribulation) teaching is that it forces its adherents to actually REVERSE the Person of Jesus Christ to the Devil.

That's correct.

In the 'Rapture' (or Dispensational) scheme the believer is asked to take the Person of Daniel's 70th Week (Who is Jesus Christ at the Cross) described in Chapter 9, verse 27a:

"And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, ..."

... and reverse this 'he' to mean a 'future Antichrist'.

Are you confused?

Is this Jesus Christ or Antichrist?

1. The Historic View.

This view is typified by the 1599 Geneva Bible notes. These are the notes of John Calvin, Miles Coverdale, and John Knox to name a few.

1599 Geneva Bible Notes on Daniel 9:27a:

"By the preaching of the gospel he confirmed his promise, first to the Jews, and after to the Gentiles. Christ accomplished this by his death and resurrection."

It's pretty clear that the Reformers believed that Christ was the Person of Daniel's Great 70th Week.

2. The Modernist View (Dispensational).

In contrast however, compare this historic view to the Dispensational view typified in the Ryrie Study Notes (1978). Look who the modernists assign to this very same Person in Daniel 9:27a:

"The prince of verse 26, the Antichrist previously introduced in 7:8, 24-26, who will make a pact with many (of the Jewish people) at the beginning of the tribulation period. But in the middle of the week (i.e., 3 1/2 years later) Antichrist will break his covenant and desecrate the Temple by demanding worship of himself in it."

The difference couldn't be farther apart.

Historic Christianity says that Jesus fulfilled the 70th week AT THE CROSS, but Rapture Christianity (Dispensationalism) says that the Devil fulfills it in a 're-built' temple.

Therefore, Dispensationalism is no less than a frontal assault on the Cross of Christ. It reverses Jesus Christ to the Devil. It is malicious and a pernicious doctrine.

Remember, this Dispensational view was NEVER known until 1830. That's why it is a Modernist view. It was invented by JN Darby and popularized by CI Scofield, two con-men to Christianity.

In the 20th century, carpetbaggers such as Hal Lindsey, Tim LaHaye, Jack (and Rexella) Van Impe, John Hagee and others have made fame and fortune off of this con game. They have marketed this 'Rapture' theology like a cheap box of laundry detergent on TV and radio, and with videos and books.

My hope and prayer is that the Church starts to wake up out of its slumber and starts challenging its pastors, ministries, and teachers. The Cross of Christ is at stake here!

For the Glory of Christ Jesus. Amen.

“So that leaves as a significant possibility that we do not understand Revelation at all.”

I believe the Christians in the 7 Churches of Asia Minor, those who may have been the first to receive John’s writing from Patmos, understood every work John wrote. Read Genesis to understand Revolution.

Remember that the Book of Revelation is defined in the first verse...’The Revelation of Jesus Christ’

Except that, it (and Matthew) are read as exactly such an encoded blueprint for events that would occur up until 70 A.D.

Revelation was written sometime after that. St. John (who lived until about 95 AD) is explaining the spiritual realities behind those events. He shows us using symbolic language the eternal struggle that began with Satan's rebellion and ended with the establishment of the Church.

That said, I must admit that Revelation (IMHO) rather clearly predicted the fall of the Roman Empire, so maybe it remained secularly "predictive" if you will until the death of one of the main actors in the story - the rapacious Roman Empire.

It's just a thought.

Have your read Scott Hahn's work on Revelation? I think he pretty much sums up the more traditional view.

“Give the Scripture which contradicts what I posted.”

Answer:

Apparently you have refused to read my previous replies that are publicly posted for you and everyone else to see. Perhaps you have a selective reading blinder on?

... Again (er hem)

John 17: 15 Jesus said, “I pray NOT that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.”

Jesus’ prayer is still in effect for us today. No rapture. No escape.

This contradicts EVERYTHING that you say about the so-called ‘rapture’. It is from the very sacred lips of our Saviour.

Moreover, I posted at length, the explanation of the inspired word HARPAZO (caught up). I gave the Scriptural examples and have included them below (please read).

In short, both Philip and this very same Paul (who wrote I Thes 4) were HARPAZO’d back in the first century.

Did either of them leave planet earth? ... Nooooooo.

Were either of them shot into outer space? ... Nooooooo.

Did they both continue on in their missionary journeys here on terra-firma earth after this HARPAZO experience? ... Yessssss.

So again, these scriptures below do indeed contradict your view of the so-called ‘rapture’, also.

Again, whatever you think that HARPAZO is, it is not enough to REVERSE the Cross of Christ in Daniel’s 70th Week to the Devil. That is an atrocious leap of faith to make.

I pray that you will do yourself a favour, and repent of your Dispensational sin.


I Thes 4: 17

“Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”

caught up = HARPAZO

This word derivation is used twelve other times in the KJV New Testament. Most of these uses have to do with the physical taking away of someone or something from another. Never do they disappear from sight.

Two other times this word is used it implies that the person at hand has disappeared from sight, however, neither time is either of the people actually shot off into outer space - never to return.

Example 1: Philip meets the eunuch and is HARPOZA’d out of sight, but really walks on earth in the Gaza strip afterwards. Proof text:

Acts 8: 39-40. “And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip , that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing. BUT PHILIP WAS FOUND AT AZOTUS: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.”

Example 2: Paul speaks about the experience of being HARPAZO’d, but he is not sure if it is in the flesh or out of the flesh. Proof text:

II Cor 12: 3,4 “And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell : God knoweth ;) How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.”

Suffice it to say, Paul continues on afterwards to complete his missionary journeys ON EARTH.

Therefore, using Scripture as our basis, it would be aberrant and sloppy to assign a shooting-off-into-outer-space type definition to the word HARPAZO in II Thes 4: 17.

Certainly, I would not be so careless as to REVERSE Jesus Christ for the Devil, just to satisfy my dogmatic apetite over it.

I advise all to proceed with the same caution because the Cross is at sake. In essence, Dispensationalism is a denial of Christ’s atonement.

Beside, Jesus Himself said:

John 17: 15 “I pray NOT that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.”

Jesus’ prayer is still in effect for us today. No rapture. No escape.

I’m going to take compfort in His prayer.

In Christ Blessings, Amen.

Right! A twinkling of an eye means it happens all at once!! You finally have it. It does not mean over a 7 year period.

My ‘rage’ is only with people that twist and contort God’s word to appease some fear that they’ll have to endure the tribulation. My concern is that people will not be prepared for what’s to come.

A twinkling of an eye means it happens all at once!!

So the actual event of the "snatching away", which God tells us will happen in a "twinkling of an eye", which is about 1/100th of a second and which will happen at the event of the Rapture, now turns into a seven year period? What are you talking about? Now that you've shown us that you have the divine authority and wisdom to discard the book of Daniel, which tells us that the Tribulation will last seven years, why don't you list all the other Scripture that you don't like and think that you have the right to deny?

My ‘rage’ is only with people that twist and contort God’s word to appease some fear that they’ll have to endure the tribulation. My concern is that people will not be prepared for what’s to come.

You have absolutely no Biblical basis for your false doctrines and you have the gall to accuse others of "twisting" God's word? You have the gall to come on here and make accusations against others when you have produced not one verse of Scripture to prove what you say is true?

You've made a choice to deny the Scripture and make up your own "doctrine". You have nothing to say to anyone.

CERTAINLY you are right on that score.

I thought the poster was noting that Christ was doing as the Bridegroom in the Jewish wedding custom—returning in the air briefly to take us back to HIS FATHER’S HOUSE for the Wedding Supper of The Lamb. Which is what that verse is referring to, imho.

You may like the bit about Rev 3:10 and Jude 14b-15 I’m putting up shortly.

“I pray NOT that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.”

You make this too easy. People have the right to expect that you would know basic grammar before you post on this forum.

The verse says:

I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.

Jesus is saying, "I pray, not for X, but for Y".

Look at the location of the word "not" in the verse. Note the difference if the verse said the following: "I pray -- that thou shouldest (not) take them out of the world". And also note, the verse does not say that at all, as those who deny the Rapture imply. In order for the verse to say that, the word "not" has to be moved over the three words "that thou shouldest" and placed later in the sentence.

Jesus, by saying what he is not praying for, is giving us a hint that He could pray for God to take us out of the world, as will happen at the Rapture as shown in 1 Thess 4:13-18 and John 14:2-3.

Also, instead of praying for that, Jesus prayed for something greater that includes the promise to take Christians out of the world at the Rapture, that being, "that thou shouldst keep them from the evil". If Christians are Raptured, would that keep them from the evil? Of course it would.

So, the Rapture does not contradict the prayer of Jesus at all.

But the prayer, to keep Christians from the evil, also applies to Christians' lives before the Rapture, and it will also apply to the tribulation saints who are converted after the Rapture. So, the prayer to "keep them from the evil", is much better than merely praying "that thou shouldst take them out of the world", which will happen at the rapture.

Here's an analogy that even the most experienced deniers of God's word can understand.

Solomon prayed for something greater than wealth, but also received wealth.

2 Chronicles 1:11:And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honor, nor the life of thine enemies, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king:

2 Chronicles 1:12 Wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honour, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like.

Solomon did "pray not" for riches. Did he receive riches? Yes.
Solomon did "pray not" for wealth. Did he receive wealth? Yes.
Solomon did "pray not" for honour. Did he receive honour? Yes.

Jesus did "pray not" for God to take Christians out of the world. But will they be taken out of the world at the Rapture? Of course.

Thus, the Rapture is perfectly fitting with John 17:15, and is not contradicted by that verse at all. The verse supports pre-trib doctrine. Just as wisdom included riches, wealth and honour, "keep them from the evil" includes the pretribulation rapture promise.

Those who use John 17:15 to argue against the Rapture, are showcasing why there will be heresies in the Church:

1 Corinthians 11:19 For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.

Those who deny any part of what God has written are not Christians.

And, just to get you on the record and since you've already denied the 1 Thessalonians Rapture Scripture, are the following words of God true or false?

All of those Scriptures pertain to the Rapture. Are they true or are they false? Don't be afraid to stand by your original statement - if there isn't going to be a Rapture, go ahead and deny all that Scripture for the whole world to see.

What do ya say?

In addition to the links below . . . I'd like to note a couple of Scriptures that have acquired new umpth, to me re this issue:

Commentary FROM:

"THE RAPTURE ACCORDING TO THE APOSTLE PAUL: God's Guarantee of a Pre-Tribulation Rapture" by Dr Dennis McLelland

". . . The key word in God's magnificent promise in Revelation 3:10 is the word from. The original Greek transliteration is ek. Its Greek definition translates to English as the words from, or from out of.

The reference is found in Strong's Concordance #1537.

This is the key word that tells you that Jesus will keep you "out of" the tribulation.

If our Lord Jesus Christ wanted His beloved, blood bought, perfect [in His Blood] Bride to go through the tribulation, He would have instructed His angel Gabriel to tell John to use the Greek word dia (STrong's Concordance #1223) which means through the hour of testing in the English language. Instead, John used the Greek word ek--from; out of.

Thanks Quix. Not only will there be a Rapture, it will happen before the Tribulation.

I think Revelation is rather clear on that score.

WRATH is at least

THE LAST 3.5 YEARS OF THE GREAT TRIBULATION.

Scripture talks about it being the worst time the world has ever seen or ever will see again.

I don't think it can get any plainer than that.

!WRONG!

In your case, your authority is the Talmud, which is a document that makes VOID the Word of God, as Jesus described it.

Nowhere have I referenced the Talmud.
The Talmud is the "oral Law" .

The Tanach is the written WORD of G-d.

In addition to being ignorant of the WORD of G-d,
there seems to be questions of literacy.
