[JesusIsLord]

The good Pastor asserts that "nothing needs to happen for the rapture to happen."

With all due respect, scripture states that the following will preceed the rapture: a covenant of peace between Israel & her enemies, which will be broken, a tribulation, abomination of desolation in the TEMPLE in Jerusalem, a great tribulation, then the RAPTURE.

As far as I know, a mosque sits on the temple mount - but no temple.

I think some of us focus too much on flying away. Every day, about 150K people leave this earth via death. Let's focus on preaching the good news to a lost and dying world!!

We can argue about post-Tribulation mythology, but I am currently borrowing someone else's computer because mine kicked the bucket and won't be around a lot.

For now I will say that I have begged post-Trib dupes over the years to provide one verse of Scripture to support their myth and not one has ever been able to give me one verse of Scriptue that validates post-Trib mythology.

So if you want to give it a shot, go ahead, but be prepared for a deluge of evidence that nukes post-Trib mythology as soon as I can get to it.

Oh what the heck, we can start with this.

I need to see the Scripture that contradicts the passages in this link:

Proofs for pretribulation rapture theology

[metmom]

The covenant of peace proceeds the Tribulation. It says nothing about the rapture.

It may be that the rapture destabilizes everything to the point of setting up the scenario for the peace covenant to be implemented.

Some questions...

What’s the point of the rapture is the church, the bride of Christ, is to go through the horrors of the Tribulation?

Tribulation is God’s judgment on the unbelieving, Gentile world. How does the church, which has already been judged righteous, fit into that?

Why would God judge the Bride?
