Gonna Be Later Than You Think

For you Pre-Tribers out there… anyone want to explain how you can defend your theology with the passages below?

Revelation 20:4-6 (NIV)

4 I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

5 (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection.

 The First Resurrection? After the battle of Armageddon?

Matthew 24:29-30 (NIV)

29 “Immediately after the distress of those days “‘the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’

30 “Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth[c] will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory. 31 And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.

 The angel call, gathering the elect? After the distress of those days?

2 Thessalonians 2:1-4 (NIV)

1 Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers and sisters,

2 not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from us—whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letter—asserting that the day of the Lord has already come.

3 Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction.

4 He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God.

 Our being gathered to him? After the anti-Christ is revealed? Oh and a rebellion… the King James calls it the “Great Falling Away”.

Isaiah 2:22 (NIV)

22 Stop trusting in mere humans, who have but a breath in their nostrils. Why hold them in esteem?

Still believe what you are being taught by the men who write books? Lucifer? It is a Latin word. Why would the God of heaven name an angel by a Roman name?

This pre-trib thing is just as prevalent a lie. It is not what the bible teaches. Read the book.

Otherwise, maybe you are just being set up to fall away by men who will say what people want them to hear.

It will be shocking to 90% of Christendom when they find themselves here during the coming difficulty… maybe too shocking… maybe enough to give up…and fall away.

Five Foolish Virgins maybe?
