PRE-TRIBULATION RAPTURE:

The Lord Shall Blow His Trumpet & His Arrow Shall Go Forth Like Lightning, by Chris McDonald

There is no other feast with more FUTURE prophetic overtones than the Feast of Trumpets! It’s interesting to note that Rosh Hashanah actually does not commemorate any historical events of Israel’s past, yet portrays all events YET in the future for both National Israel AND the church. The next great event on God’s prophetic calendar is the rapture of the church when the Trump of God shall sound, the dead in Christ shall rise FIRST, then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord and be with Him forever and forever.

Monday's article, "Rapture Mania" by Jack Kelley, will also be linked to the Daily Update page.
 

 

EXCERPT:

The Lord has always used advance disclosure to validate Himself. We call it prophecy. Knowing the end from the beginning, He told His people things that hadn't happened, so that when they did, they would know that He is Who He claims to be. Since we know the truth about Him, we're not susceptible to fantasy.

But there's one area where the Lord has not been crystal clear where End Times events are concerned and that's the timing of the Rapture. For this reason the most outlandish formulas surface whenever world events take a significant turn for the worse, as people look for reasons to believe our time here is nearly up. Many of these formulas can be easily debunked with only a tiny bit of knowledge and discernment, but for some reason they gain traction in the Christian community because of our desire to believe what our itching ears want to hear. Not knowing the truth about the timing of the Rapture, we're susceptible to fantasy.
