"RC, I watched your vidoe and I know the arguments against the pre trib rapture but here's why I hold to my position..."

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.
