However, the millions of Russian, Chinese, Asian, Arab and African believers who died over the last 100 years and are still facing persecution today because they believe in Christ are never mentioned by those preaching this doctrine.
Just think, one day people will wake up, or just stop and look around, and everyone that they knew and those they didn’t know that were redeemed by the blood of Christ will have vanished from the face of the earth. Oh glorious day. Of course we probably have to get to the point on this earth where those who remain here will be far more glad all these people are gone than they are in worrying about where they might have gone and why. But we in this Country are getting a real glimpse into the dynamics of it right now. The looney left would be THRILLED if every Trump supporter simply vanished this minute, and the MSM would be right there making up some sort of lies to account for it though “science”! Trump supporters are currently the target, but soon the Bible will be declare hate speech and anyone who has one or who believes what it says will be the targets(which probably includes 99% of Trump supporters anyway). The only real question is, will you be left behind, or not.
In the Revelation to John, Jesus shows John the Redeemed from all over the world (including all 'ethnos' across time) as witnessing the opening of the seven sealed scroll. That first seal allows the antichrist to ride upon the scene. The Redeemed are from all nations and races.
“ However, the millions of Russian, Chinese, Asian, Arab and African believers who died over the last 100 years and are still facing persecution today because they believe in Christ are never mentioned by those preaching this doctrine.”
Only liberals have to detail skin pigment levels or race.
The Rapture of the Church takes all living believers who are saved - of every tribe, tongue, and nation.
Sorry “doc” but you’re incorrect!
The Apostle Paul wrote about it. Jesus talked about it.
Cyprian, Tertullian, Ephraim of Assyria, Irenaeus among others all wrote about and believed in The Harpazo as well.
The word “Rapture” is in the Bible as well - in the Latin version.
