Post-Tribulation Rapture Fraud! The rapture is at hand..
This is for those who believe that the rapture of the Body of Christ happens at the middle or end of Daniel's 70th Week...they deny that our rapture is at hand. Some misuse 2 Thes. 2:2 to teach this, yet the "day of Christ/Lord" is NOT the rapture of the Church and there is no verses that says that it is. The Day of Christ/Lord takes place after the coming of the Lord according to 1 Corinthians 1:7-8, which puts the order as the coming of the Lord before the Day of Christ. "The Day of Christ" is always a reference to the period of time between the rapture of the Church and the Second Coming to the Earth in which the members of the Body of Christ are taking their places in Heaven at the Judgement Seat of Christ (Eph. 2:6-7, 2 Cor. 4:14-5:11, etc.).
The rapture is clearly at hand!
Titus 2:13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
Romans 13:
[11] And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. [Clearly a reference to the salvation/redemption of our body as spoken of in chapter 8 verses 23-24]
[12] The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
Philippians 3:20-4:5
[20] For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
[21] Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
[1] Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown*, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.
[2] I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord.
[3] And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the book of life.
[4] Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.
[5] Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.
*1 Thessalonians 2:19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?

Can you please direct me to the specific verses that say there will be a 7 year tribulation?
ReplyDeleteYes, thank you. See Daniel 9:24-27 which refers to the whole 7 years, and Revelation 11:3, 12:6, which refer to the last three and a half years of the Week. (also see where the Lord referred to Daniel's prophecy in Matthew 24:15).
DeleteIn Daniel's prophecy, the weeks are weeks of years (instead of 7 days, they are 7 years). In the middle of the week is when the so called "tribulation period" gets its worse, when the Man of Sin declares himself to be God (2 Thes. 2:2-4). He makes a covenant with Israel at the beginning of the week, then three and a half years later he breaks the covenant.
Daniel 9:
[24] Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
[25] Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
[26] And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
[27] And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
Revelation 11:3 says about the two witnesses (Moses/Elijah), "they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth"
Revelation 12:6 says about Israel "And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days."
1,260 days is three and a half years, half of Daniel's 70th Week.
My pastor wrote an overview of Daniel's 70th Week on his website:
