Jodyel, we look to scriptures to tell us the future, not to far fetched opinions of men.
The article you linked presented no scripture that supports any secret event. The resurrection will be visible to the entire world at once, that is what all scripture on the subject says.
Who would the “tribulation saints” be if Yeshua had already secretly removed his elect from the Earth? There would be no one left on Earth to preach the truth, and Satan himself guiding the entire system to destroy the gospel.
What would cause anyone to reject the mark of the beast if that mark was required to even buy food?
I’m sure that you can see that would be a most unlikely scenario.
Last article was put forth for thought...nothing more. I did not say that I believed it, but that it was interesting. Again, it takes the Spirit to rightly discern.
The Rapture of the Church will only be “seen” by the entire world in that they will have noticed many missing persons gone from the earth in the blink of an eye.
Tribulations saints are those that come to faith in Christ after the Rapture of the Church-Age believers and after the tribulation begins. The Holy Spirit will still be ministering and indwelling believers in the Tribulation. The Spirit would cause believers in the tribulation to refuse the mark.
Do you hold to dispensational theology, editor?
