What Is Wrong With the Teaching of the Pre-tribulation Rapture? (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

In numerous Christian churches the main preaching has to do with unconditional grace and the pre-tribulation rapture. In our point of view these two doctrine are major heresies and have produced morally weak, silly believers who are in no manner prepared to return with Christ and govern the saved nations of the earth.We must return to the preaching of the Gospel of the Kingdom of God. We must begin to make disciples of all nations by teaching them to keep the commandments of Christ and His Apostles. This is the Great Commission.The Apostle Paul states we are saved by hope. If we are saved by hope, then it is important we have the true hope. It is the author’s opinion that the Christians of today have an unscriptural hope, a misguided hope, and that this false hope is preventing the spiritual growth necessary for survival in the coming age of moral horrors. The false hope includes an incorrect vision of the events and purpose of the Day of the Lord.The false hope of which we are speaking is that at any moment all believers in the Lord Jesus will be removed from the earth and carried up to Heaven. The supposed removal will take place before the government of Antichrist controls the world and before the great tribulation of the last days. The false hope is the hope of the any-moment pre-tribulation catching up ("rapture") of the Christian people.Let us state at the outset that the issue is not whether the catching up of the believers occurs before, in the middle of, or at the end of the great tribulation. The issue is not accuracy concerning end-time events. If it were we would not waste time attempting to prove our point. We all shall be perfect in the understanding of what is to occur—after the events take place.Rather the problem is the concept of the "rapture"—that it is a device the Lord will use to deliver His people from Antichrist and the great tribulation. The concept of the catching up taking place in order to remove people from trouble is neither scriptural nor sensible.
