. . .The left behind saints are going to need it (THE POWER) to endure the persecution of the first half of the tribulation just like the apostles needed THE POWER that was given to them endure the persecution they went through AFTER PENTECOST, the same thing is going to happen AGAIN!

When the 12 disciples saw Jesus after He was resurrected “they hung on his every word and BELEIVED Him for they saw Him AFTER HE ROSE FROM THE DEAD” and it was then (after Jesus’ resurrection) that the Great Commission was given. . .

Do you think this may happen again? After the first (pretrib) rapture of the church and at the beginning of the 7years of tribulation.

Will Jesus will reveal Himself to the 144,000 and will the Great Commission AGAIN be given to evangelize the world?

For how will they know whom they have pierced unless He reveals Himself?

Will He open their blind eyes?

Could it be that the blind man Jesus healed may represent National Israel?

And when He does, they will see Jesus their savior whom they pierced?

Everyone knows that during the tribulation there will be great persecution of the saints of God but this was also endured by the disciples as well. Jesus made it clear that this is what the disciples would endure in Mathew 24 “great persecution”. . .

Remember there is nothing new under the sun. . .

Could the book of Acts be full of types and shadows of what is going to be happening to the Saints during the Tribulation?

Seems to fit.
