5 Reasons the Pre-Tribulational Rapture Theory is Unbiblical

Hank Hanegraaff, the host of the Bible Answer Man broadcast, explains that there are 5 reasons why the Pre-Tribulational rapture theory is unbiblical.

The 5 reasons:

1. Not found in the Bible
2. No biblical basis for the 7 year tribulation with Jewish deaths
3. No warrant for a rebuilt temple or reinstituted temple sacrifices
4. No biblical basis for a second chance at salvation after the second coming
5. No basis for "rightly dividing the Word of Truth" meaning figuring out which verses apply to Israel and which to the Church

It doesn't matter whether believers will be raptured before the tribulation or after it. What matters is we must always be ready so that the day we die, we will be right with our God.

I think people are going to freak out when they dont get the easy way out

The Greek word from this term “rapture” is derived appears in 1 Thessalonians 4:17, translated “caught up.” The Latin translation of this verse used the word rapturo. The Greek word it translates is harpazo, which means to "snatch or take away".

[TheJpep]

Pretrib is biblical. The command is to be looking for the return of Christ not the appearance of antichrist. The church is never mentioned after chapter 3 in revelation.

[SerendipityPoint]

The book of revelation says that the antichrist will make war with the Saints of God. That cannot happen if there’s a “pretribulation” rapture.
Furthermore, the book of revelations also describes a great multitude of people greater than any man can count, coming out from within the great tribulation having wash the robes in the blood of Jesus Christ. That also cannot happen if there is a “pretribulation”.

The Pre-Tribulational rapture theory will cause MANY to fall away.

1. Why then watch and pray, "Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.” Luke 31:36.
Why is there a 1st Resurrection (of which Jesus Christ is The First Fruits?)
2. There is still 1 week missing in Daniel's 70 weeks prophesy, 7+62=69 having been fulfilled. Also, these 69 were fulfilled by Israel.
3. Revelation informs us in The Word of God that the anti-christ will put an end to sacrifice 3 1/2 years into the 7 year period / covenant that is signed.
Israel, must declare / say "Blessed is He who comes in The Name of The Lord" and they will do this when they realize that Jesus Christ is their Messiah.
4. Can you explain the appearing of Jesus IN THE CLOUDS vs His Feet touching / landing on the Mount of Olives.
Appearing for those waiting and expecting Him and for those rejecting Him, like a thief in the night.
Landing on the Mount of Olives, every eye will see Him.

Explain Luke 21:36 if it's unbiblical, if we are to pray to escape ALL things that must come to pass, when you believe there is no escape.

Two thousand five hundred years before Darby’s lived, Isaiah wrote of a pre-tribulation resurrection. A resurrection of joy and singing. A resurrection that was followed by an invitation to his people to:

“Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.”

The dead - and those raised to life - aren’t in need of shelter from the LORD’s wrath; but those who are alive and remain are. Regardless, there is zero doubt that there will be a resurrection of joy and singing that occurs BEFORE his wrath is poured out on the inhabitants of the earth.

Don’t let the blind lead you into a ditch.

We just need to be ready regardless of what God decides to do...but this video is so needed because some Christians are hanging thier hat on this pre tribulation hope. We want to have our spirits ready for if we are persecuted in the tribulation knowing that is where our victory is at just like the son of man who lied his down before us.

Ask for The Holy Spirit to help you read the Bible. Without the Spirit of God it will be impossible to understand.

"YOU WILL KNOW THEM BY THEIR FRUIT." In my humble experience, there is much pride found in those coming against rapture. They often call names and get very angry. They insist those who believe in the pre tribulation rapture think they are better than others and stupid to think they can get into heaven without dying for Christ. They create fear and confusion. The truth is, millions have been saved throughout history without dying a horrible death for Christ. Why some had to, is for the Living God Jesus to decide. "What's it to you if I want him kept alive until I come back?" The truth is the saved Christian can and does suffer each day on this wicked dying planet. The truth is true belief Jesus Christ crucified and risen is more than enough to be saved. It is the ONLY requirement. The idea you must suffer and die for your salvation is blatantly blasphemous. Period. For all their anger and insistence they are right and we all must die to be worthy, the TRUTH of Jesus Christ and HIS Worthyness stands. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

[dist]

I agree with this. I think there will be one second coming of our Lord, and not two.

[jayveebee]

I find it absolutely amazing that an intellect like this actually implies J.N. Darby as being the one who devised the pretrib Rapture.
He really ought to contact Lee Brainard, who has discovered dozens of ECFs who taught the pretrib Rapture.

Easier said than done. Every time I think I've gotten it right, I've got about 20 different religious people telling me I've got it wrong. So, I figure, I'm better off listening to that quiet voice of God that reveals lessons to me from time to time.
They make a lot more sense then all the preachers I've ever heard, and all the religious people I've ever encountered.

One day, messiah will arrive in Jerusalem. He will sit in the throne of David at the newly constructed temple.
He will establish world peace, beginning with a covenant between the Middle Eastern nations.
The chosen people of God will bow before him and Christians will follow suit.
While the world basks in the glory of Christ, a light will shine in the East.
The true Christ Jesus will return and the nations will mourn. They will cry for the rocks to fall on them, but death will flee from them.
Why?
Because when Jesus returns we will be all be changed “in the twinkling of an eye” into our spiritual bodies.
The only death then will be at the white throne judgement for those not found written in The Lamb’s Book of Life.
If you don’t think Satan can’t deceive you into thinking he is Jesus Christ and ruin your salvation, remember, he deceived a third of God’s own angels who stood before his very throne.
The Antichrist arrives in Jerusalem first. At the 6th seal, 6th trump and 6th vial.
That’s why the scripture says to “enumerate” the number of the man to know who he will be. “666”
Jesus Christ returns at the last/7th trump, AFTER Antichrist and his tribulation on mankind.
2nd Thessalonians 2:3-4 KJV
1st Corinthians 15:52 KJV
Let he who have eyes see, and he who have ears hear.
If you can receive this, and you can see the truth, you are not blinded by the “strong delusion”, you are one of God’s elect.
Receive God’s Truth
DO NOT BE DECEIVED BY SATAN

IDK I always felt the rapture teaching is very American like our brothers and sisters suffer so badly but we think we’ll be raptured before it gets so bad here.

[Gowdru-quuh]

If both the Saved and the Unsaved are Raised simultaneously and Judged as you CLAIM, what about Revelation 20:5-6, Which says, "The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.! This is the first Resurrection. Blessed and Holy are those who have part in the First Resurrection. The Second Death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with Him for a thousand years.!!🤔✝️👀🫠♎️🕎🙋‍♂️

Why I believe the rapture and return are two seperate events. I've really studied this, comparing the pre and post tribulation position with just the word alone.

Could I humbly suggest, Compare Jesus Glorious return at the end of the apocalyptic seals, bowls, Trumpets, third of all life destroyed, wormwood, plagues, boils etc etc

with

Jesus saying "just as in the times of Noah and Lot" . Normal everyday life! Does that sound like the end of Armageddon? Clearly He is speaking of two events. There's no way these two, the rapture, as a" thief in the night" and His glorious return are the same.

People definitely won't be giving and taking in marriage and trading as normal on the day of His return. Boot fares and stag parties will be the LAST thing on thier minds. They'll be struggling to survive. Jesus said, "that time will be cut short for the elects sake or else no one would survive it." (The elect are the 144, 000 Jews and thier converts saved through the tribulation which is called "Jacobs trouble")

The church is raptured as described in Thessalonians and Corinthians then the Antichrist is revealed who will sign THE agreement (not Trump's!) then 3 1/2 years in he will desecrate the new built temple which will bring in terrible trouble leading to Armageddon at the end of which is the Lords glorious return and sweeping away all evel forever. I hope this helps. I was doubtful too but decided to really study the scriptures. God bless.

Challenging pre-trib will cost you friends. Some folks cling to this like their very salvation.
