7 Reasons I No Longer Believe in a Pretribulational Rapture - Reasons 1 - 4
I thought it may be a good time to share these.
The further we get from the beginning, the closer we are to the end. That said, the end-times are coming, and one popular belief about is that there will be a pretribulational rapture. Personally, although I used to believe in that, as I continued to study scripture, I came to a different conclusion. I spent some time making a series of videos about the subject, and here are the first four. Also, I wrote a devotional book about the subject, which can be ordered by clicking here. If you're seriously looking into this subject, I'd highly recommend checking out all of these videos or ordering the book if you're more of a reader. Enjoy, and be blessed!

Jesus said that he will come when no one knows or sees him and that we would know neither the day nor the hour. Yet we know that it will be 1260 days after the antichrist desecrates the rebuilt temple that Jesus will come on the clouds of heaven and every eye will see him even those that pierced him. During the Great Tribulation they will be counting down the days until Christ's return.
Which is why Jesus says this:
(Matthew 24:37-51 NIV) As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. {38} For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; {39} and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. {40} Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. {41} Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left. {42} "Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. {43} But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. {44} So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him. {45} "Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time? {46} It will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns. {47} I tell you the truth, he will put him in charge of all his possessions. {48} But suppose that servant is wicked and says to himself, 'My master is staying away a long time,' {49} and he then begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards. {50} The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. {51} He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
We should be always be living for God doing the work that he has called us to do. Even more so now since God seems to have allowed Satan to do more and more. I expect worldwide hyperinflation that will lead to a one world government. Germany had hyperinflation and got Hitler. The world will have hyperinflation and get the antichrist.
A common error on the part of those who don't accept a pre-trib Rapture is that the early church didn't believe in it. On the contrary,
(2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 NIV) Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers, {2} not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by some prophecy, report or letter supposed to have come from us, saying that the day of the Lord has already come. {3} Don't let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. {4} He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God's temple, proclaiming himself to be God. {5} Don't you remember that when I was with you I used to tell you these things? {6} And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may be revealed at the proper time. {7} For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. {8} And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming. {9} The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, {10} and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. {11} For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie {12} and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.
