Dear Doves,
 
I believe Matthew 24:29-31 when it says that the rapture happens on the Day of the Lord "AFTER" the shortened great tribulation for the elect.
 
I also believe Mark 13:24-27 when it says that the rapture happens on the Day of the Lord "FOLLOWING" the shortened great tribulation for the elect.
 
To NOT accept what these Scriptures tell us is anti-Scriptural. There is NO Scriptural justification for believing anything else. The Scriptures do NOT lie.
 
2 Timothy 4:2-4
"Preach the Word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exort, with longsuffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, BECAUSE THEY HAVE ITCHING EARS, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the Truth, and BE TURNED ASIDE TO FABLES."
 
 
To believe anything other than what Matthew 24:29-31 and Mark 13:24-27 tell us is BELIEVING IN A FABLE WITH ITCHING EARS.
 
According to Your Word, come Lord Jesus!
