"re: Bruce Warner's post ~ rapture is still soon, still pre-trib"


Bruce, I just had to reply, Brother!   http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/oct2008/brucew107.htm
 
You seem to be setting yourself up for disappointment.   Please note that just b/c the rapture does not happen when WE hope or even expect it to ~ does not mean that it goes from PRE-trib to EARLY trib rapture!!
 
The rapture is and was (and REMAINS TO BE!   .... smile!)   PRE-TRIB!!!
 
The Lord promises He will come out of His place to PUNISH **ALL** the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity during the tribulation.   Do you think He's going to punish us & then turn around & marry us?   That would be an ABUSIVE husband who did such a thing!!   Beat up the bride before the wedding!   Whew nellie ~ some kind of *wedding* that would be!! ~ when the Groom started beating the bride before they were even married!!
 
Now, that being said, I have been watching for a long time myself.  I've always known the rapture would happen in my life time ~ ever since I was a young.... a VERY young child!!     And I think everything is good to go -- and we could be right on the money for an October rapture!!   I'm hoping for early October myself ~ but I will not go out on a limb & start tossing out dates .... look at how that's gotten so many in trouble over the years.
 
There are so many different scenarios that could play out.  
 
Growing up in somewhat of a wholesome way, I never ever EVER dreamed I'd see the day when Americans by & large wish for a MUSLIM to be in the Whitehouse!!    Ohhh ~ they so "do not know" what they ask for!!   I pray daily that the Lord will some how PREVENT this from happening while we are still here.  And since the peace agreement to divide up Israel's land is so good to go, then I think ~ I hope ~ yes, that we will be raptured soon.  How we hope & pray it is this month!
 
Oh, BTW, just for the record, I think when searching out the Scripture in Jeremiah 8 that you are referring to ~ it is speaking about Jews.   [because we ARE saved!]  So therefore, this particular Scripture does not even apply to us, but rather tells us of their predicament.
 
Blessings!
