The theory of a pre-tribulation rapture is a very misleading and dangerous theory that will lead many away from God. People who are expecting this to happen to them will be bitterly disappointed in God when the tribulation finally begins, and they find themselves still here on the earth.
In the book of 2 Thessalonians, we are warned that many will fall away, will turn away from God. I believe those who are expecting to be raptured, and are not, will be some of those who fall away. They will say God has broken His promise to them and failed to rapture them to Heaven when the troubles start. But God has never promised to rapture anyone before the tribulation starts. This is just the theory of man.
Please consider the enormous number of people who have been murdered over the years for their trust and obedience to God. Then ask yourself why you are any better or more worthy than any them. No one is worthy of anything from God. We are all sinners and all deserve the death penalty. It is only through the death of Jesus Christ that we have a hope for anything in the future.
To be afraid of standing up for Jesus. To seek the easy way out is to be a coward. Read what Jesus tells us the fate of the cowardly will be in Rev 21:8.
Rev 21:8 But for the cowardly, unbelieving, sinners, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their part is in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death."
This would be an unbelievably terrible fate for anyone, and especially for those who were once believers, but threw their faith away because they were not raptured.
I believe the time of the tribulation could easily be during this year, 2023. If you are one of those who are hoping for the rapture to take you away from the troubles of this world, please remember this book. Remember there are people who absolutely do not believe in this theory. Please accept this has never been God's intention. This is purely the teachings of who are seeking the easy way out of the tribulation. This is a teaching from man, and certainly not something God has revealed in His bible.. If you are aware of this, it may just save you from becoming hostile towards God and losing your place in His Kingdom.
What it will require of you is to repent, and that just means to change the way you think about God. Understand what God has promised those who remain faithful to him to the end. To the end of the seven years of the tribulation. They will be an incredibly difficult seven years, but God is faithful to all of His promises.
Again, if you do believe in a pre-tribulation rapture, please remember there are many who do not. Turn to these people and seek the truth from them. While you are waiting to be raptured, keep the possibility that you are wrong in your mind, then when you fail to be raptured, repent and turn to God.
If you are raptured, then you will have the last laugh on us. If you are not then we are ready to help you in any way we can.
God bless you for reading this book. If you do!!
