Featured Where Does the Bible Say that the Church Will be Removed From Tribulation?

Answering a question with a question is disingenuous deflection.

Matthew 24:22
“And if those days had not been cut short, no flesh would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect (chosen ones) those days will be cut short.

This verse may be interpreted as saying the days of suffering will be cut short because the church will be raptured, but it can also be used as the basis for believing the tribulation will be cut short for the benefit of those living at that time.

Any fifth grader could understand this post.

 

Of course there will be a 144000 here to witness to the lost. Revelations says so
.MB

 

He takes NONE of these literally (but probably neither do you):

1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show unto his servants, even the things which must shortly come to pass: and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John;
3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things that are written therein: for the time is at hand. Rev 1
11 I come quickly: hold fast that which thou hast, that no one take thy crown. Rev 3
7 And behold, I come quickly. Blessed is he that keepeth the words of the prophecy of this book.
10 And he saith unto me, Seal not up the words of the prophecy of this book; for the time is at hand.
12 Behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to render to each man according as his work is.
20 He who testifieth these things saith, Yea: I come quickly. Amen: come, Lord Jesus. Rev 22

 

1) Do false teachers ever tire of claiming to be mind readers?
2) Did I say 5th graders would see the rapture in Matthew 22:37? Nope
3) Did I say my view came from blind acceptance of Reformed doctrine? Nope
4) Did Post 10 address the content of Matthew 22:37? You bet
5) Did Post 10 address the content of Matthew 24:22? Nope

Is the "rapture" literally there (in Matthew 22:37) or not. Not
If you say you cannot see how, there is nothing I can say. Personal incredulity is fallacious argumentation.
One would only need to believe in the Pre-Wrath rapture.
If one's eyes are wide shut, they will not "see" the rapture.
Yes, one can hold the view that only the tribulation is being cut short, as I said.

 

The only verse is Revelation 3:10

Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth.

"The Hour of trial" is interpreted as a well known time of trial or tribulation, or the Dispensation called the Great Tribulation.

Not that I believe that, but that is the only verse that specifically says it.

 

first, you do not know what it is else you would not say what you post. I suggest you get some training and discipleship on these issues before you speak to them.

Second pointing out that you do not know what it means is not attacking you. If you feel I am attacking you personally then you should report my post. I am glad to stand behind my posts.

 

We do agree, post 10 does not address Matthew 24:22.
I think "it addresses different interpretations of "Matthew 24:22" is a typo, should read Matthew 22:37.
Did I say a belief in the Pre-Wrath rapture of the church can come from just one verse? Nope

 

Where is it taught that all humans must die? That is your verse. Every time a person physically dies, they skip out of tribulation.

We should really protest that the church leaves, period. All should keep suffering tribulation until the Second Coming, no?

And those martyred, should spring back to life, because God forbid the church should have any way out of tribulation.

Until you can define this alleged tribulation the church should not be a part of, why argue if they leave before it happens?

 

Mark 13:32
32 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

Revelation 3:10
10 Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth.

Matthew 24:30-31
30 “Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earthwill mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory.
31 And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.

Philippians 3:20-21
20 But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,
21 who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.

1 Corinthians 15:51-53
51 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed—
52 in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
53 For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-18
16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.
18 Therefore encourage one another with these words.

 

I think the rapture of the church occurs when Christ comes in the clouds, and those dead in Christ, and those still living but changed in the twinkling of an eye meet Christ in the air. How would this event be explained, if not the rapture?

 

This has been an ongoing phenomenon since Stephen was stoned and welcomed into Paradise by Jesus.

 

Reference?

 

Literal isn't an interpretation.

The Sovereign Grace Advent Testimony say prophecy should be read as it Is and not interpreted. Do you agree with that?
