Arguments for a Post Trib. Rap.

[canadyjd]

.....All you have to do is find the “Second Coming” (at the end of the Great Tribulation) in scripture defined as such, and it being the only re-appearance of the Lord Jesus Christ (hence proving the teaching of the Rapture as an appearance of the Lord invalid).

Okay, where is the Second Coming of the Lord (The Glorious Appearing at the end of the Great Tribulation Period) define as such by name, "Second Coming"? Anyone??

"Second Coming" is not in the text, that I can find. You do find in the Acts 1 the ascension of Jesus and the declaration by the angel that Jesus will return/come again in the same way (i.e. visibly, physically, in the clouds).

What is in the text is reference to the "Day of the Lord" and the "Day of Wrath" and the "Day of Judgment", which is referring to the day Christ returns and ushers in the New Heavens and New Earth.

As already demonstrated, this "day" occurs after the tribulation of the saints, and therefore supports a post-tribulation rapture.
