RC,
I appreciate your concern that I or we be not deceived
about a rapture that many say will not come before the
tribulation but only at the end etc. I watched your video
and have seen many like it and know their position well and
have heard their reasons for believing in no pre trib
rapture. They have their interpretation of these scriptures
but I have a view of these scriptures completely different
from theirs. They lack the understanding that only comes
from God's Holy Spirit revealing the promises and warnings
in scriptures rightly divided. They fail to incorporate
God's revelation of how this Earth will be harvested in
three Firstfruit offerings to God. The first of which has
already been received by God at Jesus' resurrection when
many graves of the saints were opened and they came out of
them and appeared to many and were taken by Jesus into
heaven already as the first "handful" of grain. What does
this do to those who believe that no one can be "raptured"
before the very end? That position is already proved in
error! The next Firstfruit offering are two loaves which is
when I'm leaving before the trib but there will remain the
gleanings which will go through the tribulation. If you,
like your video says, call that a "second chance" to be
saved and say that there is no such thing then define it
however you like when you see it come to pass but don't say
we didn't try to warn you.
I still hold to my confidence that Jesus has promised me
that He will keep me from the HOUR of temptation etc which
means removed from time itself and can mean no other thing.
There is no room in that promise for a protection through
the hour for that would deny removal from the hour if it is
merely safe passage through the hour as post tribbers
claim. This is not the same thing. There will be those who
will not be removed from the hour but they will not be
protected through it as they teach that they will; indeed AC
will make war with the saints still here and overcome them.
Luke 13:
25. When once the master of the house is
risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye
begin to stand without, and to knock at the
door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer
and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:
26. Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten
and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our
streets.
27. But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not
whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
28. There shall be weeping and gnashing of
teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and
all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves
thrust out.
29. And they shall come from the
east, and from the west, and from the north, and from
the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.
30. And, behold, there are last
which shall be first, and there are first which shall be
last.
Verse 29 is our rapture before the trib and many will
weep because they are still here when they see us at the
wedding feast.
