Dispensationalism
Has that misinterpreted the bible? How does anyone get that they will be taken 1st, before this 7 year theory? In the bible it doesn't specify anything at all a before or after.
Bro. there will be no "rapture" & the tribulation period will be for 3 1/2 years not 7... the gentiles/europeans are teaching the 7 year tribulation doctrine along w/the rapture...both AREN'T bibical..... the LORD gave us a warning to watch for the signs to know when things would come about that will lead us into the tribulation period..... the main sign is watching for the abomanation of desolation that will stand in the holy place in Jerusalem....Once we see this take place we are to flee to the wilderness (Mt. Sinai).... because there will great a time like none before & the LORD will have to stop the tribulation for HIS elect sake, (this will be the time period when whoever is living according to the word will be killed, along w/others but the saints will go down as well) the only way to escape this period is by making it to the wilderness... if not, choices you will have to make, because the person known as the (a.o.d) is the same person in revelations making people take the mark of the the beast, you either take it or you get killed....he will be appointed by the pope which is the fales prophet spoken of in Daniel & Revelations.....
So ask yourself, if all of this is to take place, where are the scriptures stating the LORD will rapture us off or take us somewhere in heaven for 7years for him to return LATER? what's the point of HIM telling us to flee if we will be taken somewhere?
(not coming at you, just trying to get you to understand what's going on)
Matthew 24
15When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (
whoso readeth, let him understand)
16Then
let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
17Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
18Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
19And
woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
20But
pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
21For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22And
except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
23Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
24For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
25Behold, I have told you before.
26Wherefore
if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
take heed to v23-24, Once he takes his seat, people will lie to the masses that christ has returned, but he gives us another warning to those that don't make it to safety, to NOT believe them when the say this.... this is when people will have to make some real choices, either accept the mark or be killed for rejecting it, some people will make it out the tribulation period without accepting the mark or being killed as well...
but if you continue to read the rest of Matthew 24 it will show how the LORD will appear & do what he does, other scriptures also show that once the great tribulation period is over, the 1000 year rest period will take place (peace on earth), after that period is over with, the war of armaggedon (final war) will take place (more killings than what's going to happen during the tribulation period)... this is ALL based off scriptures....kjv....
