".. It has nothing to do with Hal Lindley, America-Israel replacement theology, Ted Armstrong, pre-millenial or mid-millenial. God's people will endure the tribulation that will come upon the earth..."

You contradicted yourself and apparently don't even know it.

Yet you want to teach others.

The point I was trying to emphasize was that there will be no rapture based on scripture. Also, what you left out from my quote was the last part,"Jesus promised to be with us until the End" paraphrasing what scripture teaches. Verbatim this scripture reads, “…lo, I am with you alway, [even] unto the end of the world. Amen.” Mathhew 28:20

God’s people will have to endure Jacob’s trouble when all hell breaks loose. Jesus has promised that “in the world we will have tribulation”, John 16:33, Revelation 2:10, but that He will be with us until the end, since He has overcome the world. I don’t find anywhere in God’s Word that believers will be spared from tribulation.

The churches have been deceived with the “rapture” theology, from a scriptural standpoint, since the Bible clearly says that when Jesus comes, “every eye will see Him” Revelation 1:7, “For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works” Matthew 16:27.

The “reward” spoken of here is given on the last day. Not when a saved person dies or is “raptured” up, “Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.” 2 Timothy 4:8

Don’t mistake a bubble for a fly in the soup. I don’t intend to teach anyone. Only the Holy Spirit can lead you to all truth…

“Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, [that] shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.” John 16:13 and "He who has ears, let him hear".

I sense some virulence in your tone. I am not trying to prove anything, to God be the Glory, only raise some important points to be considered.

God Bless you and thank you for your comment.
