I am a staunch pre tribber. However if I am wrong and do find myself in the trubilation the only preparation I need is to be washed in the Blood of Jesus Christ and standing firm in His protection. That is already taken care of, no other prep to do. So don’t worry about us pre-tribbers, we will be fine no matter what.
You will be better off not being the “staunch” pretribber (with a closed mind) you mentioned, you’d be better off being the pantribber you said you was in your previous post to avenir. As such, perhaps you would be more likely to have an open mind about these things.
By the way, which are you? You said you are a “staunch” pretribber in one post, then in the very next post you are a pantribber. Scratching my head, here.
I am a staunch pre/mid/post tribber.
There are enough bible verses to cover ALL of these bases!
Thus the arguing over it!
