From the time I was first saved, up until the time the Lord called me out of the organized church, I was in churches that taught the pre-trib rapture theory. It, like the theory of evolution, is a false teaching, it is error.
I never have been able to find the pre-trib rapture theory in the Written Word of God. I have also never had anyone successfully convince me, through The Word of God, of the pre-trib rapture. All I was ever told when I questioned this theory, and said it wasn't in the Word of God, was, "Well your wrong, we have been taught this for years" that was it folks. Many have believed what they had been taught by men, irregardless of the fact that the pre-trib rapture theory is no where to be found recorded in God's Word.
It is refreshing to find someone with the boldness to speak out against this piece of man made fiction. There are others who have written articles and books on this subject, but this is the first video I have come across on this subject.
Saints we need to be prepared to meet God daily, for none of us has a promise of tomorrow. But saints if we should live, we need to be prepared for what we are going to face in the years to come, we need to learn to become over comers through Christ now that we may be able to stand in the time of tribulation that is to come upon the whole earth. The crowns will go to the over comers saints.
God is able to keep us saints, and there will be those who give their lives for Christ, and they will rule and reign with him a thousand years and be priests unto God.
Revelation 20:4-6
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
5But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
6Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

Very appropriate teaching, Sister Helen. I was also raised in a denomination that taught pre trib rapture. I was corrected when I started reading Jewish authors who are followers of Yeshua. I feel that just as the three Hebrew children were thrown into the fire, just as the Children of Israel passed through the Red Sea, just as Daniel was delivered into the lions den, we as Belivers in Yeshua will likewise be trusted, endowed with, and depend upon power from on high to not only survive the tribulation period, but to be His witnesses during the event.
Either way though, whether pre trib, mid trib, post trib, we know we are His and He is with us because He is in us and we are in Him!
I was at a dinner recently where I met up with some old associates from my previous church/es. With sadness, it reiterated why I had left those churches in the first place. I happened to be sitting with a lady who I used to know well, and she told me with excitement how she had been listening to John Hagee, and she was expounding the pre-trib rapture (which Hagee must believe?). She told me that 'it would be any day now'. I told her that I didn't believe in a pre-trib rapture, and that we should expect to go through things. It killed the dinner conversation with her on anything other than the superficial. But, when you come out of a church that says "pie in the sky when you die and steak on your plate while you wait" what can you expect??!!!!
Yes it is so sad but I believe that when the Pre-trib doesn't occur I fear many will then fall away from the Truth, believing none of God's Word to be true. Yet others will have been ill prepared spiritually for what is to come on the true body of Christ.
God bless you for your comments saints.
ugh the guy who made the video is a madman he got the post trib theory right, sure but if you look at his other videos such as on the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse... well he thinks the first one is most likely BUSH
last I checked Thomas S Gibson is the real prophecy watch guy (as well as Micheal Boldea and his deceased grandpa) what with the economy prophecy about the economy going up for a while then dying

As I was in prayer this afternoon the Lord showed me the following: I could see a chart with one line on it. It went up and down in a jerky fashion. Suddenly it dropped off so low that it was almost off the bottom. Then it continued its jerky up and down motion, but it was now doing so very near the bottom of the chart.
Then the Lord said: this is the stock market. You will soon see the sudden drop off to the bottom. Many will not believe that it cannot rise again--but each attempt to ressurrect their money god will result in failure. "
guess what his spirit of prophecy says about bush...
"The Lord says: George Bush shall not leave his office before the end of his second term, but rather shall be killed before that time."
of course this is my discernment prophecy if it happens I got one more guy on my testimony for christ on Atheists
either way the guy in the video is a general bible defined madman he's giving the post-trib theory a bad name
Anon, I am not a supporter of this guy, but just find his stuff interesting. Thanks for taking the time to comments. God bless you

How can the “rapture” be “imminent”? Acts 3:21 says that Jesus “must” stay in heaven (He is now there with the Father) “until the times of restitution of all things” which includes, says Scofield, “the restoration of the theocracy under David’s Son” which obviously can’t begin before or during Antichrist’s reign. Since Jesus must personally participate in the rapture, and since He can’t even leave heaven before the tribulation ends, the rapture therefore cannot take place before the end of the trib! Paul explains the “times and the seasons” (I Thess. 5:1) of the catching up (I Thess. 4:17) as the “day of the Lord” (5:2) (which FOLLOWS the posttrib sun/moon darkening - Matt. 24:29; Acts 2:20) WHEN “sudden destruction” (5:3) of the wicked occurs! (If the wicked are destroyed before or during the trib, who would be left alive to serve the Antichrist?) Paul also ties the change-into-immortality “rapture” (I Cor. 15:52) to the posttrib end of “death” (15:54)! (Will death be ended before or during the trib?) If anyone wonders how long pretrib rapturism has been taught, he or she can Google “Pretrib Rapture Diehards.” Many are unaware that before 1830 all Christians had always viewed I Thess. 4’s “catching up” as an integral part of the final second coming to earth. In 1830 it was stretched forward and turned into a separate coming of Christ. To further strengthen their novel view, which the mass of evangelical scholars rejected throughout the 1800s, pretrib teachers in the early 1900s began to stretch forward the “day of the Lord” (what Darby and Scofield never dared to do) and hook it up with their already-stretched-forward “rapture.” Many leading evangelical scholars still weren’t convinced of pretrib, so pretrib teachers then began teaching that the “falling away” of II Thess. 2:3 is really a pretrib rapture (the same as saying that the “rapture” in 2:3 must happen before the “rapture” ["gathering"] in 2:1 can happen - the height of desperation!). Other Google articles throwing light on long-covered-up facts about the 178-year-old pretrib rapture view include “Famous Rapture Watchers,” “X-Raying Margaret,” “Revisers of Pretrib Rapture History,” “Thomas Ice (Bloopers),” “Wily Jeffrey,” “The Rapture Index (Mad Theology),” “America’s Pretrib Rapture Traffickers,” “Roots of (Warlike) Christian Zionism,” “Scholars Weigh My Research,” “Pretrib Hypocrisy,” “Pretrib Rapture Desperados” and “Deceiving and Being Deceived” - all by the author of the bestselling book “The Rapture Plot” which is available at Armageddon Books online. Just my two cents’ worth.
