I am with your articles attempting to wake us up about the lateness of the hour, and the “Synchronicity” you point out. But your term “martyr complex” for post-tribs is where you run off the rail.

You do realize that persecutions have been the lot of God’s people of faith, beginning with Cain and Able till now, don’t you? take the old testament faithful in Heb. 11:36 for example, they had:

“trials of cruel mockings and scourgings, bonds and imprisonment. They were stoned, sawn asunder (Isaiah), slain with the sword, destitute, afflicted, tormented, of which the world was not worthy.”

Did these faithful of the old testament have a “martyr complex?”

And how about what they did to John the baptist, and most poignant of all, what they did to Jesus! Did John and Jesus have a martyr complex?

And how about Stephen in Acts 7? And Saul’s “threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord,” in Acts 9:1? Paul’s beheading at Rome, the persecutions of Nero, the apostles martyrdom? Ignatius fed to the lions at Rome, Polycarp burned at the stake, the persecutions of Emperor Domitian, in which time the apostle John was sentenced to the isle of Patmos? And then there is the inquisition and persecutions by the medieval church.

Did all of these have this “complex” you accuse them of?

Truth is, it is the pretribbers who have the complex. One that neither the scripture, nor history, supports.

The pretrib’s attempt to extricate themselves from what’s coming, bending the scripture here and there, isn’t going to fly. Pun intended.

My remarks in post 19 were obviously intended for Roman War Criminal, not “unlearner.” Sorry about that, unlearner.
