For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
Matthew 24.37 doesn’t talk of the pre tribulation rapture.
Again, what’s false in the article?
Matthew 24.37 doesn’t talk of the pre tribulation rapture.
The analogy then was one of lightning: “For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of man. Wherever the body is, there the eagles will be gathered together” (Matt. 24:27–28). These parenthetical verses tell us three aspects of the second advent of the real Christ. ♦ First, Christ’s second advent will be sudden. There will be no immediate warning preceding it. There will be no eight signs with five amplifications. As with lightning, we may be aware that storm clouds are gathering, but there is no way to predict precisely when or where the lightning will strike. ♦ Second, the return of Christ will be very public and unmistakable. There is nothing private or secretive about lightning; no one need tell anyone else about its advent. It is immediately experienced by all. ♦ Third, at the second coming, Christ will draw to Himself those who are His. I believe this is the best interpretation of the enigmatic statement, “Wherever the body is, there the eagles will be gathered together.” Luke records this statement as an answer to the disciples’ question, “Where will those taken at the second coming go?” (17:37). The false messiahs must drum up support for their leadership through recruiting drives out in the desert. In contrast, Jesus’ followers will be inexorably, irresistibly, and immediately drawn to Him when He returns. In other words, don’t worry about finding Christ at the second advent: the connection will be automatic. To summarize, the second coming of Christ will be unmistakable because it will be so public. Everyone will experience it firsthand. It will come with no immediate warning. Christ’s presence at that moment will draw His faithful people to Him automatically and immediately. This does not resemble a secret rapture in the least.
That is referring to the Second coming, (which becomes clear once you continue reading the rest of the chapter), not the Rapture.
