There is a LOT of confusion regarding end-times prophecy.  There are strongly-held conclusions in many "camps" which cannot be reconciled with one another.  Many pastors and ministers won't even talk about prophecy because they fear it will become contentious.  Church leaders want peace and harmony, not strife.  Eschatology, for many, has become roiling confusion, and something to be avoided.

There is a reason for all this confusion.  God wants to bless us, and Satan wants to steal the blessing.  Surprised?  If we love His appearing, there is a crown of righteousness to be received (2 Tim. 4:8).  If we believe and trust Jesus, then He said He would deliver us from the time of trial that is coming on the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth (Rev. 3:10).

BUT – If we expect to be here for the “seven year tribulation period” then we’re not looking for His appearing; we’re looking for “the AntiChrist.”  If we don’t believe what Jesus said about delivering us, then we don’t have faith to be delivered.  If we don’t believe that Jesus offers us an escape, then we won’t pray to be found worthy (Luke 21:36).  Satan wants as many Christians as possible to be left behind, so he can harass and destroy them if possible.

There are a few other theological land mines in this false narrative, but that’s a big one.  Life after the rapture will not be endurable even for those “preppers” who have tubs of dried food, water filters and solar power generators.  What is coming has been compared to Germany under Hitler, but trust me:  it will be orders of magnitude worse.  You don’t want to be here.  So don’t let any false eschatological narrative or a fear of prophetic scriptures cause you to miss your deliverance.  It is a LOT later than most people think.
