Scripture Supporting a Pretrib Removal of the Church

[Ed Edwards]

Matthew 24:15 (HCSB):

15 "So when you see the abomination that causes desolation , spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place" (let the reader understand),
16 "then those in Judea must flee to the mountains!
17 A man on the housetop must not come down to get things out of his house.
18 And a man in the field must not go back to get his clothes.
19 Woe to pregnant women and nursing mothers in those days!
20 Pray that your escape may not be in winter or on a Sabbath.

This will happen in the future
at the middle of the Tribulation 7-year-day
not in 70AD.
In 70AD those who waited until 70AD got killed 1/3rd,
sold into slavery 1/3rd, or left to starve 1/3rd.
Those who saw the Romans coming in 68AD and left were the
survivers. Now we know that then they had to leave a couple
of years before the Romans come. Today they can leave real-time
when events occur (better reporting).

Your eisegesis of Matthew 24 is underwhelming.

Verses 16-20 have nothing to do with the Second Coming. Tell me if Jesus Christ is coming for His Church what would be the point of the following Scripture:

16. Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
17. Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
18. Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
19. And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
20. But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:

The above Scripture are related to the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD.

As much as the burning mountain in Rev.8 has to do with Elvis Presley in a sequel of Flaming Star. Maybe's he's singing, Hunka, Hunka, Burning Love?
