The Case For The Pre-Trib Rapture

I was anti pretrib for decades and I hated all the movies etc and i wouldn’t read the books. But as I studied scripture I kept running into it - even in Isaiah and Zephaniah. It was crazy. I’ve had people say my article below persuaded them like nothing else ever has. That’s my prayer because it is coming. ⛅️

Amen!

Can someone explain to me how modern rapture theology jives with Matthew 13:37-43 which states that the wicked will be removed from the earth?

Why do you go to 3rd and 4th century writings? The Apostolic Fathers discussed the Rapture often and wrote that Jesus’ second coming would be After the Tribulation and the Man of Lawlessness as we see in II Thessalonians.

On the topic of the rapture, I always say "Hope for the best, prepare for the worst". This covers every scenario imaginable and removes any arguments.

Enoch says there is no rapture. Daniel 2 says there is no rapture but Christs Kingdom filling the earth and destroying every other Kingdom. Psalms 37 says no rapture but God cutting off the wicked and the meek inherit the earth. Mathew 24 doesn’t say we fly away to heaven

The word rapture is never mentioned in scripture, even if it was it doesn't mean we go anywhere, all it means is that we go out to meet the Lord upon his arrival as we see him coming in the air, and then return back to our homes, we never actually leave the earth

The tribulation was in the 1st century.

My question is this how does God spread his word and his kingdom on earth through his people if all his people is off of Earth who's going to help spread God's kingdom on earth in such a critical point in time

This is a lie that gets easily destroyed by a single verse 1Th 4:15 Those who are alive & remain DO NOT PRECEDE those who Sleep in Jesus DURING Trib, there will be more believers DYING & JOINING those who Sleep in Jesus NO ONE ALIVE PRECEDES THOSE WHO SLEEP IN JESUS
