The False Doctrine of a 7-year Tribulation

[Consecrated Life]

Well can you not just ask Him about this? Since He left He has never ever told one person PRE or MID or POST was right or wrong. Yeah never. Man reads His word man then tell us what they personally believe and DUH what they personally believe is the real gospel.. what others believer duh is wrong. Just be ready now.. its HIM only HIM.. to be thinking of Him every day and watching what you do so you live right. Its a house many are busy doing other things.. some are looking out the window watching.. HE is coming

One thing we do know is that only one of these , PRE, , can happen at any moment and has no requirement for specific circumstances to be taking place on earth to trigger His coming.
The other two both require that very specific circumstances are taking place on earth to trigger His coming.

So I found this Hymn writer who wrote about Christ coming to get His Church before the great tribulation dating 300-400ad. Its on the Internet other preachers have talked about this guy.

Hi Blade

I think we need to be careful about letting songs tell us the truth of God's word. What if the song writer is wrong? And I'd also question whether finding ONE example of such teaching 300 A.D. necessarily means that such a theological position was widely accepted by the 'church'.

Well can you not just ask Him about this? Since He left He has never ever told one person PRE or MID or POST was right or wrong.

Since he left, I don't think he's said anything about anything. But Paul, his chosen one to go before the Gentiles did say that Jesus' return would not come until the lawless one was revealed. I don't believe that's happened yet. If it hasn't happened, as I believe, then the return of Christ will not happen until that event and that event seems to be in line with the last days of the great tribulation.

"The theory of the pre tribulation rapture theory.... "

God.
And his word.

The mistake in OP threads of this nature is when respondents post thinking to lead the author aright.

God's word does not teach them the truth. We never shall.

The seven years are not contiguous.

For a thorough teaching on the fact of the pretrib rapture that is spelled out in Scripture I highly recommend the teaching of Chuck Missler. He is on YouTube.

God rest you and your sir.

Also I believe He was actually born in late September but for times sake I won't try to document that now. But that would fit perfectly with His 3 1/2 year ministry since He was likely crucified in late March or early April. Either way you can find out more about the dating error on Wikipedia.

Jesus was born on the feast of tabernacle, which is six months from Passover, where John the Baptist was born, you can find the clue in Luke 1. That does fit with 3 1/2 year ministry since his ministry started around his 30th birthday, so it was from another tabernacle to Passover. It is erroneous to count on Gregorian calendar, you know, on Jewish calendar a month is only 29 days on average, and there’s a leap month about every three year, you add that in the equation, then it’ll fit.

I don't agree. 2 Thes 2 makes it perfectly clear that Jesus will come back for his Church *at* the destruction of Antichrist, and that he *cannot come back* before that event. This is based on Jesus' statement that prior to his Coming from Heaven he will be preceded by *false comings.* He will *only* come from Heaven at the end of the age, to gather his people.

Finally, these are based on Dan 7, where the Son of Man descends from the clouds of heaven to deliver the saints from the Man of Sin. This is explicitly Postrib.
