“He won’t “catch you up” - except at the point of your death. There is no such “left behind”
Thanks for sharing your opinion.
I just don’t believe your opinion is true.
Plus the article and its hermeneutics are poor.
As a backup, stand close to me and I’ll grab you at takeoff.
In the end, I’m His, saved, sealed, and assured.
Whether I am raptured or physically die first doesn’t matter. It’s His call.
Either way, I’m His.
This isn’t my opinion - it’s what God said — there is no such “left behind” - read the book of the Apocalypse clearly and the references to the 7 churches - 7 being the symbol of completeness; read the references to the 6th “king” - Nero and to the destruction of the great harlot-city, Jerusalem
The Tribulation is called specifically “the time of Jacob’s Trouble,” (Israel) and it is important that we have this clearly in mind. IT IS NOT THE TIME OF THE CHURCH’S TROUBLE.
....If Christians, wile they study the scriptures, would always ‘distinguish carefully’ what prophecy has to say concerning the Jew, the gentile, and the church of God, it would not be difficult to clear up this entire subject. ...It is by confusing these three distinct classes that many unscriptural theories are foisted on the people of God.
There are in fact two distinct stages of our Lord’s return presented in the New Testament... He is coming ‘FOR’ His saints; this is the rapture that precedes the great tribulation... And He is going to be manifested ‘WITH’ all His saints when he descends to exercise judgement on those who have persisted in rejecting His grace;.. this is when He will establish His glorious kingdom to reign in righteousness over this world.
In other words the rapture is always ‘distinguished’ from the coming of the Son of man....It is the Lord’s coming ‘for’ His saints whereas the other is His coming ‘with’ them.
