IF you are coming from a Dispensational Premillenial position.. sure.. your whole Eschatological view is CENTERED around the “Rapture”. Yes, all Christians believe in the message of 1st Thessalonians chapter 4.. However, many of us who are also Bible Believing Conservative Christians have a different view of the TIMEING of this event.. many of us are NOT Dispensational Premillenialists.. we may be Amillenialists or Post-Millenialists.. we believe that the Rapture will be ONE event among other events, occuring on that LAST DAY of Judgement..the Second Coming.. this is NOT a new view..rather, this is the historic REFORMATION view of Christian eschatology.. (you may want to read LAST DAYS MADNESS, by Dr. Gary DeMar..containing an EXCELLENT study of Matthew 24.)
Last Days Madness
Ah yes! The Preterist Gary DeMar who asserts that all prophesy has been fulfilled and that the resurrection of Daniel 12:2 happened in A.D. 70. He claims it was a spiritual rather than a physical resurrection. The likes of DeMar, Gentry, and Rushdoony should be shunned like the plague.
