At my church their are many views of the end of the world. The head pastor, after laying out all of the various viewpoints said “And me? I believe in ‘Pan- Millinalism’. It will all pan out in the end.”
An associate pastor that I look up to pointed to some scripture in Revelation that shows the believers being there in the midst of all of the suffering. (No - I can’t pull it out right now.)
But he explained: “So you think that God is going to change things at the end!? I don’t think so. When has God ever plucked his believers out of the hard times!? Eygpt? The desert? Babylon? The Romans? The Holocaust? The believers were present during those hard times to point a way to the True God! Why would it be any different at the end times!? And YES - we are now in the end times. And have been since Christ was crucified. And while we have battles to fight - the war is already won!”
Christ already won the battle!
The falseness of this "you'll be taken away" instead of realizing that Jesus promised us that we would suffer in His name
We are here to fight for Christ!
