Pre-Wrath? A Rapture Position.

[manna-man]

Greetings Saints,

Yep, I'm a Pre-Wrather. Where do you stand?



What is the Pre-Wrath rapture?

The view that the rapture will occur after the wrath of Satan/Antichrist on Christians and Jews but before God's wrath on the earth.

When will this happen?

Sometime After the midpoint of the 7-year period of Daniel and immediately after the 6th seal of Revelation (sign of the sun, moon, and stars is given in the heavens).

There is a lot of confusion out their concerning the rapture. I think alot of it has to do with the fact that most christians don't understand that there are two types of wrath being poured out in the world before the end comes.

The wrath of satan and the Wrath of God.

The wrath of satan started from the time of his fall through the beginning of the Tribulation and ends at the beginning of the Day of the Lord.

Remember! The enemy has been constantly attacking man from the very beginning! And as the bible says even until the end.

With the mark of the beast.

Revelation 13vs16: And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Matthew chapter 24 is a good place to start concerning the sequence of events that must take place for the completion of prophecy concerning the end of this age.

As we read the chapter, if we pay attention the clarity will astound you!

The fact that Jesus in verse 4 warns the saints by saying:

Matt 24:4: And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

Lets take a minute and consider this.

The word heed means: pay attention to advice: to give serious attention to, a warning or advice and take it into account when acting.

To take heed doesn't merely mean listen to, It means that we should take serious the words that are to follow.

What words? Take heed that no man deceive you.

Note:

Many believers today don't think that they could possibly be in any danger once they have received the gospel.

This is the furthest from the truth otherwise Jesus wouldn't have warned them!

It should be every christians goal to stay tuned for what God is about to do next.

Abiding in him would be a good way of putting it.

For the gospels do warn us to...Col:4:2: Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving; and to: 2Tm:4:5: But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

And they (the gospel)even admonish us too!

Lk:12:37: Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.

Another thing that He unveils to us as he warns us to take heed to his words is that:

9: Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.


This here is where the confusion seems to start. For many saints glance over the word of God lightly and get confused with verses such as....

Jn:10:28: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. and Jn:3:3: Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

Is there anyone big enough to take anything out of the hand of God?

Of course not!

But lets take this a little farther and ask about what it doesn't say.

Did Jesus ever say that you don't have free will and you are not able to walk away from him excersising your free will?

No.

But does that mean that we can't?

For the Lord continually warns us with scriptures like this one.

Lk:21:36: Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

Grace to the Saints,
