"Do You Teach Pre-Trib Rapture?" Truth Set Free!!

all right uh sovereign mind on youtube pastor steve asks do you teach pre-tribulation rapture uh pastor steve question mark i personally do not believe in pre-tribulation rapture what do you say to sovereign mind sovereign mind i do and the reason i do is because the rapture is an unexpected event um if you have the rapture taking place after the tribulation period or anytime during the tribulation period you have all these events that have to take place before the rapture happens um the rapture is going to happen no matter what it's either going to be pre-trib or it's going to be mid-trib or it's going to be post-trib or you know some people come up with pre-wrath you know type of stuff but it's uh the rapture happens the rapture is defined uh in first thessalonians chapter four is that time when jesus comes back and he raises the dead from their graves and reunites them with their spirits the the dead bodies with their spirits and uh those who are alive and remain are caught up together with jesus in the clouds and then we're with the lord and so um all through scripture that is an unexpected event and so just to give you a lowdown on what happens during the tribulation number one world war iii takes place during the tribulation and a quarter of the people on the planet are dead that's what the bible says and so if jesus isn't coming until after the tribulation starts then jesus isn't coming until after world war iii and so that immediately places uh the the rapture as being something that is not an unexpected event because when i see world war three i know that that begins the whole the whole catalog of events that are going to take place during the tribulation period there's going to be something burning like fire that hits the ocean that destroys a third of the ships and uh basically um that's that looks like an asteroid so an asteroid is going to hit the earth there's going to be another war where another third of mankind is killed so that's got to take place there's all these events that if you take the book of revelation seriously put it outside the realm of being an unexpected event if the rapture happens during the tribulation or after the tribulation that places it in one place and it's got to be before and i've never heard a good argument that answers those questions and so some something you know that everybody goes through you need to go through and check out what scripture actually has to say on this jesus warned us that he was coming like a thief in the night and um he can't come like a thief in the night to anyone if he's coming at the second coming actually the bible teaches in the book of revelation that the demons know when jesus is coming at the second coming and that the kings of the earth know when he's coming at the second coming they all gather together at the valley of megiddo to resist the second coming and so if christians are the only ones surprised by the second coming of jesus that's ridiculous because the demons aren't and the kings of the earth aren't and and so they all know when jesus is coming in fact once you have the abomination of desolation the antichrist has 1 260 days to live is what scripture says and he's killed by the brightness of his coming jesus is coming according to 2nd thessalonians chapter 2. so there's all kinds of reasons that i have a problem with either a mid-trib or a post-trib uh return of christ for the church and that's the biggest one it's called the imminency of the return of christ yeah all the descriptions that they use you know like two people working in a field or sleeping in the same bed or they'll be marrying and giving in a marriage normal thing i just went to a wedding this weekend if two billion plus people were dead and all the heart and asteroids are hitting the earth there's no way someone's calling me like hey did you book my photographer for this weekend you know it's like that's not that's not going to be happening so that is the i think the the hardcore argument on that yeah all right you good yep
