I also have studied this area of Eschatology extensively, but I have come to a different conclusion. As far as "lucrative," there are many MANY people out there who offer a different viewpoint than PreTribulationalism, who have and are making money off the books they sell. In fact, where would these people be if they did not have the PreTrib Rapture to criticise and condemn? Beyond that, the PreTrib Rapture is only dangerous if it is not taught in Scripture. Obviously there are numerous schools of thought on the subject, which is why there are PreTribbers, Mid-Tribbers, Pre-Wrathers and Posttribbers. I always love to read how "the Lord taught" someone the truth about the PreTrib Rapture, so they reject the PreTrib Rapture for something else - either the Mid-Trib, PreWrath, or Posttrib position. Isn't it fascinating that nearly EVERYONE says "the Lord taught" them the truth about a particular view of Eschatology? Either the Holy Spirit is extremely difficult to understand, He is telling people what they want to hear, or He is being credited with teachings things He has, nor does teach. In any case, something is wrong somewhere...not to mention the arrogance of making such a statement (about the Holy Spirit teaching someone), implying that anyone who holds a different viewpoint has NOT been taught by the Holy Spirit. So that means that anyone who does NOT hold to a Posttrib view has not been taught by the Holy Spirit according to some on this page. MidTribbers as well as Prewrath people say the same thing. Hmmm, who to believe?

Dear friends, I have studied this issue and concur with you. The PTR is unscriptural,illogical,dangerous and dishonestly lucrative.

Dear friends. Please pray for our nine-year-old ministry (started in 2001) -- www.tjlit.org (Testifying Jesus’ Love in Truth). In Toronto, we make free resumes, teach free English weekly, and do free translations/interpretations in 17 languages to any church or organization that asks us to (worldwide.) We also give out 3000 tracts each week, and we get people who are abused, have mental illness and other problems into churches and places where they can receive help, as well as getting kids into free dentists. We love the Lord, and love the ministry he has blessed us with. We are deeply committed to fighting racism and poverty. Please send us your prayer requests (Email: reachus@tjlit.org), and pass our site to friends, missionaries and family, as there are many who are lonely; and, we are thrilled when Christians connect. As the world becomes more hostile towards Christians; it is essential that we connect. At the moment we are trying to set up a pen pal club so people from all over can write to others and develop friendships. Nobody should be lonely. If you read this and are lonely, please contact us and we will do our best to get you into a good church wherever you are in the world. We get over 1000 visits a day in ninety-nine countries (our counter is broken), which means somebody will be praying for you. Please also click on and read the Bible verse of the day, and say a prayer for us. Also, please send us words of encouragement. Is there anyway we can help you? Please contact us – especially if you are lonely. God bless you. To our American friends: Please read article 51 on our site “Things I love about America.” PS. Sorry to the person whose guestbook we have just signed. If we have taken up a lot of space and not commented, again, sorry. The fact that we have left a message is proof, in our opinion, that you are good. God bless you. Ian.

It seems your interpretation exposes truths rather than confusing a seeker searching eschatological expositions.

To Joy: It matters a great deal. It is about believing the Word or God or a lie. It is about falling away or enduring until the end. the "Whatever Attitude" could cost you your very soul. If Jesus Said it! Believe It!

I agree with you on the so called rapture of I Thess.4:14,16. This won't happen until after tribulation. But I see a ressurection in Phil.3:11-14, that will happen before the tribulation. Paul was not sure of having a part of this ressurection, at the time of him writing Philipians. I am sure Paul was sure of receiving this ressurection when he wrote II Timothy . This all has to do with the revelation of the dispensation of the mystery Eph.3:9 Study it out for yourself.

God prepared the ark to carry Noah and his family through the storm. Not to avoid the storm. God will carry us through the tribulation. We must be tried by fire to purge the true church of the Lord Jesus Christ. I do not know your theological views beyond this subject, but I hope that you can see the necessity of repentence and Baptism in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ per the book of Acts verses 2:38,8:16,10:48,9:6. A through study such as you have done on the tribulaion should be done on this important doctrine that Peter, Paul, and Phillip all practiced. In Jesus name we are to do all things! Thanks and may the Lord continue to guide you. Brother Christopher Darin

Great to hear that someone else does not see the Pre-Trib position as viable. Most of Christianity has been sold that position and by it hook line and sinker.

Greetings in Jesus name. I agree with you concerning the tribulation which followers of Christ will go through. The wrath of God is for the ungodly and them that refuse to repent from their evil ways. I just made a webpage expounding Isaiah Chapter 30. I would appreciate your comments. http://achristiancounselor.com/woe.html

I agree and at the same time disagree about your position of the tribulation. You said that there is no biblical basis to believe the pre-trib. Well Jesus himself mentioned about this in Matthew 24:22, "but for the sake of the elect those days shall be cut short." This passage is about the second coming of Jesus. and one thing more, these three positions are all supported in the Bible. what is important I think, is preparedness to meet the Lord. May be what we focus is the sharing of the gospel so that people will be prepared any time christ will come. God bless May I take this opportunity to share the good news of salvation. Jesus is the only way to heaven.No other way. Religion is not the way, good works is the way, good life is not the way, good reasoning is not the way, and all man's way is not His way of salvation but only faith in Jesus alone. Recieve Him in your life and allow Him to be your Lord.

In the book of Revelation chapter 20 we read: And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony for Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his image and had not received his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years. (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection. So it’s crystal clear that God’s people will indeed be “raptured” after the anti-christ takes his place in history, and what’s more, the “rapture” is in fact the first resurrection. If someone can’t see this for what it actually is, and many don’t, I would suggest that you simply entrust them to God. After all, God is Love and we know that Love never fails. Keep the faith, He truly is Alive!

God bless you for addressing the problems with the Pre-Trib Rapture view (we need more). You should check out this web site which reveals some new interpretations on the end times such as: who really is "Raptured", the Jewish Temple does not have to be rebuilt, and the 4 Horseman of Revelations have already ridden. http://www.grandunifiedprophecies.blogspot.com/ J.S.

Ruben,please explain what is the raising of the dead who have not yet been for final judgement..do we not go to heaven when we die?do we "sleep"? confusing to me.I thought the thief on the cross was with Yeshua when he died..did HE not say,this day you will be with me in paradise?thought He descended into hell then rose the 3rd day..just some questions I had.

Thank You - much of what you say is very helpfull. I have long held to the belief that explaining God, which you do brilliantly is more than half of explaining God away. And the more messangers that can be attacked the easier it becomes to discredit the message.

Brother Young: Your letter was forwarded to me at my new address. It is a good letter. I decided 40 years ago that the pre-trib rapture theory is an illusion that ultradispensationalists try to convince themselves and others, is taught in the Scriptures. The fact is, and they know it, the Bible nowhere says that the church will be raptured before the tribulation (not one verse). They confuse the tribulation and the "wrath" of God. Their attempts to limit the elect in Mt. 24 to the Jewish nation is nonsense. I am sure your book on the subject is a good one, but I have read so many books on the subject over the past 50 years (beginning with Clarence Larkin's "Dispensational Truth" that I am weary of the subject. I think that it often distracts attention from the person of the Lord Jesus Christ, as does so many issues of today. Thank you for your interesting letter. Cordially yours in Christ, Curtis Whaley
