We’re just going to have to disagree on this topic of the rapture and tribulation. Again I have no indication from the Lord to prepare for the Tribulation rather to look for His coming....and His Promise to meet him ...”in the air”...just as is written.
In my opinion, it is far more critical that our “preparation” be the very things we are dealing with here. One must be prepared spiritually first and foremost.
As a former pretribber, I had to get to the bottom of this issue. It took me about a year, it was tough, I had to unlearn almost everything I thought I knew. I was worth every minute. If one will get to the bottom of this issue, he is getting “prepared,” as you say.
