I watched “A Distant Thunder” last night, and it got me thinking about the Tim LaHaye “Left Behind” series and how the rapture is portrayed in large media productions like the Nicholas Cage version of the series. If the pre tribulation view of scripture is correct, would it be portrayed in big Hollywood productions? Seems like if Hollywood promotes something it is usually false and a twist of God’s word. I also have Christian friends on social media that have been posting a lot (like the article below) about how they came out of the premillennial and pre-trib beliefs and are now post/amillennial. I always try to approach life knowing I could be wrong about anything, I’m just having a hard time sorting through the noise right now. I’ve done so much research into the pre/mid/post rapture that I decided pre made the most sense. But I admit that most of the research I did was studying what other people said about it, not by reading the Bible in its entirety to decide what it actually said on the matter (although I did do some of that, just not as much as I should have). thechristianlife.com/how-jesus-fulfilled-the-70-week-prophecy/I feel like I’m losing my confidence! Anyone have any thoughts? , Coming back to your original post, why do you think Pre-TB made more sense? I think that statement is the "meat" of the topic. 1. Do you believe we escape tribulation? 2. Do you believe Matthew 24:29-31 describes the rapture or not? 3. How do you interpret 2 Tim 4:1 ? 4. Were you aware that most of the early church, if not all, were Post-TB and believed the church would see the Antichrist and be put to flight? 5. How do you understand 2 Thess 2:1-3 |

Anyone have any thoughts? I have a post here where I share my own thoughts on the rapture. Based on hundreds of hours of bible study. You can judge for yourself the merits therein. board.unsealed.org/thread/133/revised-view-pretrib-raptureReading the thoughts of others is great, but always measure it against scripture. You have to study it for yourself to know if what they claim aligns with it. By the way, it was The Distant Thunder movie that caused me to seek salvation in Christ. I saw it as a teen over 40 years ago! |
