The Pre-Tribulation Rapture!
By Les Feldick
The closer we get to the next event
on the Bible calendar, the more confusion and rejection of it we see.
The rapture is being denied and ridiculed more and more with each
passing day– why? Satan does not want the world to be ready for it.
So some are denying it totally, others are putting it at the
mid-point of the tribulation, and still others are associating it
with the second coming, which would be at the end of the tribulation.
There is one overriding proof of the pre-trib position and that is
the Body of Christ. It is strictly a Pauline term and much alluded to
but only in Paul’s epistles. Which means, in view of the big
picture, it stands insulated from all of Israel’s prophecies. l
Cor.15:51 makes sure we understand that concept with one word– and
that word is ”mystery” [or secret]. Behold, I show you a mystery;
we shall not all sleep, but we shall be changed,… And God’s
secrets are not like our government, where secrets are Aheld in a
sieve or colander. God’s secrets are totally secure until He sees
fit to reveal them. So the whole concept of the Body of Christ was
kept totally secret until revealed to Paul. Romans 16:25 Now to him
that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the
preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the
mystery, which was kept secret since the world began.
Galatians 1:11 &12 But I
certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is
not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught
it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 3: 1-9. For this cause I
Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, If ye have heard
of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward
How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote
afore in few words, Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my
knowledge in the mystery of Christ) Which in other ages was not made
known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy
apostles and prophets by the Spirit; That the Gentiles should be
fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in
Christ by the gospel: Whereof I was made a minister, according to the
gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of
his power. Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this
grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable
riches of Christ; And to make all men see what is the fellowship of
the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in
God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
Consequently only Paul reveals the
secret of the termination of Body on earth. I Cor. 15:51 – 53
behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall
all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last
trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised
incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put
on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
I Thessalonians 4:13 -17 But I would
not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are
asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if
we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which
sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by
the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the
coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the
Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice
of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ
shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught
up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and
so shall we ever be with the Lord.
We can literally be looking up in view
of II Timothy 3:1-7 This know also, that in the last days perilous
times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves,
covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents,
unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false
accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of
God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from
such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses,
and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers
lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the
truth.
Titus 2:13 Looking for that blessed
hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour
Jesus Christ;
