Pete Garcia sums up the strange “christian” phenomenon of hating the Rapture:

“I suppose it is the height of both irony and hypocrisy that a professing Christian would hate the idea that their Savior could return sooner rather than later. Essentially, that is what those who despise the Pre-Tribulation Rapture are guilty of, turning the blessed hope (Titus 2:13) into a joke or a byword. Of course, most would never admit to such a thing.”

Continued Points:

So How Can You Know the Pre-Tribulation Rapture is 100% Correct?

1. There is not one mention of the ekklesia inside the 70th Week, either in the Old or New Testament.

2. The Church (the body of Christ-ekklesia) has already been judged at the Cross, and is now made perfect and does not need refinement in the 70th Week (Hebrews 10:10, 14, 12:2; 2 Cor. 5:17-21; Eph. 2:4-7)

3. The 70th Week of Daniel (aka…the Tribulation) is a time specifically set aside for Israel and the Christ-rejecting world (Jer. 30:7-11; Dan. 9:24-27; Zech. 13:9; Mal. 3:1-3; 1 Thess. 5:1-9; Revelation 4-19)

4. Although Christ warns the Church that they will suffer trials and tribulations in this life (John 16:33) He never warns the Church to prepare for The Tribulation (i.e., that 70th Week). However, He does warn against not looking for His coming at the Rapture (Mark 13:39; Luke 12:37-39, 21:36; Rev. 3:3, 10, 22:20)

5. The Apostles never once warn the Church to prepare for The Tribulation. If the Church were destined to go into it, they (through prompting by God the Holy Spirit) would have warned the Church to prepare

6. Paul specifically states that the Antichrist cannot be revealed until the Restrainer is removed (2 Thess. 2:7-8). He who restrains can only be the Holy Spirit, who infills and seals the Church until the day of redemption (2 Cor. 1:21-22, Eph. 1:14, 4:30)

Sorry guys - like it or not The Lord will take all Truly Saved Christians with Him in the clouds to be with Him forever very soon...

If you don’t like that idea, I suppose I would question your salvation. After all - why kind of Christian professes to believe in Christ, yet doesn’t want to be with Him? Seriously......

It’s the time of mockers. That site mocks Christ and of course, the Rapture too. It’s a perfect fulfillment of the Scripture regarding it. “Where is the promise of His Coming?”. I was looking up something else yesterday and ran across it (before I saw all of this). Doesn’t surprise me at all.
