“The pre-Trib rap story - is it from Satan?”
Pre-trib rapture is a vision that a 16 year old Scottish girl had back in the 1800s and it gained popularity etc... here’s a video that talks to history:
I’m not a great Bible researcher but if you look at the Sermon on the Mount of Olives, right afterwards the disciples and Jesus gathered together and he explained the meaning of the parable that he told on the Mount of Olives (the tares and the wheat).
Jesus explained it and it certainly isn’t a pre-tribulation.
A lot of people don’t agree with that, to the point that inventions of differing scenarios have been formulated, propagated,and have been accepted by more than a few denominations. And the denominations are sticking to their concoction of scriptural conundrums.
At one point I asked myself, would the Bible be so confusing that they would put little hints here and there and everywhere throughout the Old Testament and the New Testament to pull together some kind of a theory or hypothesis?
I don’t think so, because I don’t find the Bible all that confusing. It does require some translation and it does require some thinking and it does require maybe an outline to help one through, but it’s pretty straightforward.
I don’t think the Lord would want us to be totally confused about his own Word. And under that premise, I don’t think he would invent this jigsaw puzzle of a Rapture Theory for everybody to get totally confused over.
Like the old gospel song says “Jesus said it”
The devil is a liar.
That little spew is a lie. Don’t repeat lies, they become your load of sin when you do.
Actually, it is a lie that the Pre-Trib Rapture doctrine was absent in the first century of Christianity.
