There are three theories relating to the Rapture of the Church, the pre, mid and the post all being centered on the signing of the treaty of Daniel Chapter 9 Verse 27.[Daniel 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for ONE WEEK : and in the MIDST of the WEEK he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.]
That is not to say that any of the theories relating to the Rapture of the Church do not have sound scriptural doctrine to support their beliefs.
I was talking to some fellow believers witnessing in the streets today and we began to talk about that very subject – the Rapture of the Church.
I was asked if I believed in the Rapture, and I said I did.
Their next question was do you believe in the pre-tribulation Rapture theory, to which I replied I do not believe in any of the theories relating to the Rapture of the Church, and that I thought the Rapture could happen anytime.
The person that I was talking to then said do you know that more than 80% of believers think the Christians must be gone from the earth before the Antichrist can be revealed and the treaty of Daniel signed.
If he’s right in saying that (which I believe he is) then what is to hold the Antichrist back from being revealed if the majority of Christians themselves think they must be gone from the earth before he can come forth?
No matter evidence is presented as proof that any particular individual is the Beast they will not believe it simply because they are still here on the earth and haven’t been raptured.
Accordingly, as there is only a very small group of those that do not believe in any theories, or believe in the mid or post theories relating to the Rapture their voice would not be loud enough for anyone to take notice of.
As that is the case, there is nothing, or very little, to hold the Antichrist back if the greater part of Church and indeed the Christians believe that they have to be taken from the earth for the Antichrist to reveal himself, just as the prpohecies themselves said would be the case .
Therefore, it will be the majority of the Christians themselves who will allow the Antichrist to come forth and not necessarily the pagans, although they will also bow down and worship the Beast.
We truly are living in the last days, and just when most feel safe and secure that’s when the slaughter will begin, so don’t say what happened?
