Are We There Yet? What is the Rapture of the Church?
Jimmy Evans makes a compelling case for the Pre-Tribulation Rapture. He makes 3 key distinctions to support this case.
- Compares all the Rapture verses
- Correlates the Rapture to a Jewish wedding
- Looks at the fulfillment of the feasts and the feasts that are yet to be fulfilled such as the Feasts of Trumpets.
My one major takeaway from this video answers the following question: If the church goes through the Tribulation, then where does Matthew 24: 37-41 fit?
As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.
Matthew 24: 37-41
During the Tribulation 1/3 of humanity dies and there are 4 trumpets that sound all around the event of an asteroid hitting the earth.
- In Revelation 8, a star called Wormwood hits the earth and the atmosphere becomes super heated and it begins to scorch the earth and burns up the grass and trees.
- A great mountain falls into the sea and 1/3 of sea life dies and 1/3 ships are destroyed.
- Wormwood poisons the waters.
- The sky grows dark. That is what happens when an asteroid hits the earth. The debris goes into the sky and darkens the sky.
“And people say, yeah we will be buying, selling, marrying, planting and building. No you won’t. If you survive, you will be going to 40 funerals a day. There will bodies piled up everywhere. There isn’t going to be business as usual during the tribulation.”
I have been asking and seeking God on this subject for many years. I can say that this message seems so clear that we will not be going through this horrible time as the Bride of Christ. We will be rewarded for Faith in Jesus Christ and enjoying the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in heaven while the Tribulation is happening on earth. Praise God!
