Featured Breaking news actually old news "Early church Fathers Taught the Pre-Trib" view

Never heard of it or read about it. God had it in His plan from eternity past. Scripture shows it and shows the Pre-Trib rapture and the early Christians believed it. The start of this post shows they did.

 

I've been to Bible college and was not taught of any parenthesis Church. HAve been to several churches and had Several pastor who taught the pre-trib dispensational view and nope no "Parenthesis Church." So why don't you show where it is taught by dispensationalist of modern times instead of repeatedly saying that all Pre-Tribbers believe it, that simply isn't the case.

Now this post shows that at least three early church teachers and writers taught a pre-trib view care to address that.

 

For Iraeneus the last week of Daniel is to be fulfilled and the dictator is said to come at the last half of it this Iraneaus "he acknowledged the phrase “a time, times and dividing of times” in Daniel 7 to signify the 3 ½ year reign of the Antichrist as ruler of the world before the Second Coming of Christ. He also believed in a literal Millennial reign of Christ on earth following the Second Coming and the resurrection of the just." Thus a full seven year Trib and a literal dictator called the beast in Revelation. Still shows the amil view does not follow the early church.

Next is Cyprian, in speaking of the Trib he stated "to depart from it as quickly as possible." Christ coming as quickly or swiftly as possible. Then he stated "by an early departure you are taken away, and delivered from the shipwrecks and disasters that are imminent." Early departure compared to a late one, such as a mid-trib or post trib view would show. The one which shows a church Harpazo or Rapture or Snatching away he says, "greet the day which assigns each of us to his own home, which snatches us hence" seems to be a reference to the Harpazo, snatching away and the early departure would be before the tribulation because he says "delivered from the shipwrecks and disasters that are imminent.He was speaking of? "terrible things have begun, and know that still more terrible things are imminent" the Tribulation that is terrible things as seen in Revelation 6-19.

The final we see this, Ephraim stated "we ought to understand thoroughly therefore, my brothers, what is imminent or overhanging." what was he referring to, "here have been hunger and plagues, violent movements of nations and signs, which have been predicted by the Lord." Again the Lord Jesus referred to the Tribulation and Great Tribulation that Ephraim is what was referring too. Then this " not other which remains, except the advent of the wicked one in the completion of the Roman kingdom" He saw the beast as the dictator of Rome. The Advent the age or however you refer of the wicked that again is the tribulation. Following he states, "prepare ourselves for the meeting of the Lord Christ, so that he may draw us from the confusion, which overwhelms all the world" prior to the advent of the wicked he says prepare for the meeting of the Lord that is what pre-trib teaching is all about. Christ comes for His bride before the advent of the wicked. Again we see "For all the saints and elect of God are gathered, prior to the tribulation that is to come, and are taken to the Lord lest they see the confusion that is to overwhelm the world because of our sins" "The elect are gathered prior to the tribulation that is to come that is to overwhelm the world."Clearly they were looking for the Lord prior to the Tribulation.

 

I showed tou scripture in the thread did Paul teach a Pre-Trib view. You scoffed and said no one before Darby taught a pre-Trib view. Now I show you folks who in fact did teach a Pre-Trib view before Darby developed a systematic view which is all he did. Now you want scripture, I have shown you both you continue to reject both even with proof before you. Look these men up I am fairly sure you will find there teaching.

 

He can't get folks to comment on his Of out whose womb Post so He Highjacks mine by advocating it and of course since you agree with him you help highjack this post.
