The biggest threat to Christians is the teaching of a pre-tribulation rapture

[Cronos]

....The vast majority of popular churches teach that believers will be called up to Heaven before the tribulation. Simply stated, the Bible does not support this claim.

...

In many scriptures of the Bible, there is a “falling away” or discussion of great deceptions that are coming to the world. It has been hard for believers in Christ to comprehend the possibility of the masses falling away from Christianity because faith has been a powerful part of society for nearly two millenniums, but we are seeing it today. Moreover, we are seeing the spreading of a seed that will cause further apostasy among believers in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior: the myth of a pre-tribulation rapture.

The not-so-simple answer is that Satan is pushing this as part of his agenda. It is Satan that rules the earth. His goal is to pull as many people away from the faith as possible, which is why he and his minions began deceiving Christians at their core starting in the early 19th century with the doctrine of a pre-tribulation rapture. He has brought about and continues to bring about waves of deceptions to pull people away from even considering the Word of the Bible, but this particular deception is to attack those who are wanting to be strong in their faith. It’s designed to shake the spirits of the believers to the point of non-belief.

Think about it. If you make people believe that they are not going to face suffering, that they are “special” and will avoid all of the troubles that will engulf the world, then they are weakened as a result.

[Cronos]

The author says - this pre-Trib rap teaching is from Satan

[Cronos]

The pre-Trib rap story - is it from Satan?

Think about it. If you make people believe that Jesus could come back at any time, and they must keep themselves ready for the event, then they are strengthened as a result.

[Psalm 73]

Have been involved in many (often heated) "discussions" on Pre- v. Mid- v. Post Tribulation rapture, and it seems the sowing of division is really Satan's tactic here.

Can we "major on the majors" and agree salvation is by faith alone through Christ alone?

(Awww, talk about a kill-joy....)

If you cause people to not realize that there is a pre-trib rapture, not only will they go through unnecessary suffering, but they will not do the work to achieve it as they won’t think it is possible.

Some people just are slow learners and need a whipping to motivate them to awaken!

What cult does this guy belong to?

[Cronos]

The creation of the entire pre-Trib rapturist 19th century belief system — as the author points out — is Satanic in nature.

The Pre-Trib tries to deny Christ’s words and also distort’s Daniel who very clearly prophesises the time up to Christ — Christ is the rock uncut by human hands that shatters the iron-clay Roman Empire.

Then the uncut rock becomes a mountain that covers the entire earth - Christianity.

Daniel’s prophecy very clearly, very, very clearly talks about the THEN coming destruction of Jerusalem after it was rebuilt.

The 70 odd years from Christ’s birth to the destruction of the 2nd Temple, the 40 years (one generation) from the time Jesus says “THIS generation “ will see the destruction of the temple.

Doesn’t matter when it happens. God has the best plan for me & I’m willing to trust His judgement about the best time to call me home. It doesn’t matter if I’m “Pre-Trib” or “Post-Trib”. It only matters that I’m faithful!!!

[Cronos]

Probably the Christian one - meaning the one that rejects the Scofield non-Christian pre-Trib rap belief

[FewsOrange]

Does the Catholic Church believe in pre or post tribulation rapture?

understanding the pre trib rapture enhanced my faith. I was already saved but in an amillenial church I was taught that Christ would return someday. it Revelation was poetic language and unknowable.

Studying prophecy and understanding that most of what is shown in revelation pulls from and enhances the OT prophets has added a level of excitement and anticipation to my faith that wasn’t there before. Like most I was uneasy to afraid of the end times and the prophecies in revelation. Now that I understand more I can’t wait! Remember Paul said comfort one another with these words not scare the living stink out of each other with these words.

Seeing prophecy fulfilled in current times (ezekiel’s dry bones etc) and Israel back in the land is an amazing experience . I totally trust God and His plan but it is wonderful that He has told us ahead of time what will happen. If i am wrong and the rapture is not pre trib it will not shake my faith, God is in control. But meanwhile the sense of anticipation and excitement over the skin return of Jesus Christ is what keeps me going some days. And yes i think it will be soon but even if not remember that all if us will meet Jesus in the next 80 years or so no matter when He returns.
At almost 60 I have maybe 30-40 years max til I meet my savior face to face no matter what. Until then I will be looking up with great anticipation!

As I understand the words of Christ and the Bible, we will only be rescued at the Second Coming. The fullness of sin must be shown, including many of us being martyred, so nobody questions God as to why faithful obedience is necessary.

[Mom MD]

the catholic church is amillenial and does not teach a tribulation or millennial reign

I know a pastor that claims to be pan-trib...It all pans out in the end ";^)

Dale Moody wrote

“Belief in a pre-tribulational rapture . . . contradicts all three chapters in the New Testament that mention the tribulation and the rapture together (Mark 13:24–27; Matt. 24:26–31; 2 Thess. 2:1–12). . . . The theory is so biblically bankrupt that the usual defense is made using three passages that do not even mention a tribulation (John 14:3; 1 Thess. 4:17; 1 Cor. 15:52). These are important passages, but they have not had one word to say about a pre-tribulational rapture. . . . Pre-tribulationism is biblically bankrupt and does not know it” (The Word of Truth, 556–7).

I actually do believe that it is the biggest threat to Christians. I believe the greatest threat to those that could be brought into the fold is the teaching of Eternal Conscious Torment (ECT) for the lost. That one is the one I fight the most.

[John Leland 1789]

Written as if Biblicist Christianity only exists in North America. Written as if millions of Christians through the Church Age have not already endured mass suffering and very deep persecutions. Written as if there are not even now millions of Christians suffering under persecution. Written as if Chinese, Vietnamese, and North Korean Christians could never believe in a Pre-tribulation Removal of the Body of Christ from the scene.

The purpose of Daniel's Seventieth Week has nothing at all to do or say about the suffering of the Church of this dispensation. The Tribulation has to do with DANIEL's people, ISRAEL, and the City where Jehovah has chosen to place His Name.

[Deo et patriae]

You are absolutely correct!
I have been convinced of this for many years.
People in the Churches do not see what the Bible clearly says about this.
They are not going to be prepared and are going to find themselves in something that they will not be able to handle. What the results of this will be I do not know.
