Think about it. If you make people believe that they are not going to face suffering, that they are “special” and will avoid all of the troubles that will engulf the world, then they are weakened as a result.

Think about it. If you make people believe that Jesus could come back at any time, and they must keep themselves ready for the event, then they are strengthened as a result.

If you cause people to not realize that there is a pre-trib rapture, not only will they go through unnecessary suffering, but they will not do the work to achieve it as they won’t think it is possible.

Some people just are slow learners and need a whipping to motivate them to awaken!

understanding the pre trib rapture enhanced my faith. I was already saved but in an amillenial church I was taught that Christ would return someday. it Revelation was poetic language and unknowable.

Studying prophecy and understanding that most of what is shown in revelation pulls from and enhances the OT prophets has added a level of excitement and anticipation to my faith that wasn’t there before. Like most I was uneasy to afraid of the end times and the prophecies in revelation. Now that I understand more I can’t wait! Remember Paul said comfort one another with these words not scare the living stink out of each other with these words.

Seeing prophecy fulfilled in current times (ezekiel’s dry bones etc) and Israel back in the land is an amazing experience . I totally trust God and His plan but it is wonderful that He has told us ahead of time what will happen. If i am wrong and the rapture is not pre trib it will not shake my faith, God is in control. But meanwhile the sense of anticipation and excitement over the skin return of Jesus Christ is what keeps me going some days. And yes i think it will be soon but even if not remember that all if us will meet Jesus in the next 80 years or so no matter when He returns.
At almost 60 I have maybe 30-40 years max til I meet my savior face to face no matter what. Until then I will be looking up with great anticipation!
