Quick and concise education for the laziest of my family and friends. Bible exposition by Brother Dwane Karr. Those of us who still believe in a Pre-Tribulation Rapture are getting scarcer and scarcer. To that I say (see Noah) the majority has been wrong before. God did tell us (1 Thes.4:18) to comfort one another with these words. These words (4:16-17) are the description of the Pre-Tribulation Rapture of The Body of Christ, The Church. So for those who still believe I offer a fact of proof that the rapture in (Mat.24) is not our rapture but the rapture of Jewish (primarily) Saints near the end of the Tribulation. There are many points that can be make but I would like to offer one simple, yet key point for you to notice. In (Mat.24:27,30-twice,37, and 39) we find Jesus referring to Himself by the title He frequently used during His ministry, The Son of Man. What needs to be noticed about this is the fact that Paul never used that term Son of Man in regards to our Rapture. As a matter of fact Paul never used the term Son of Man one time in any of his epistles. The reason being that the term Son of Man is a Jewish designation for the Jewish Messiah. It is used 83 times in the Gospels and outside of that only 3 times (Acts 7:56, Rev.1:13,14:14) speaking of Jesus Christ. There is one reference in (Heb.2:6) which is not a reference to Jesus Christ. This message from me is simply one point to comfort one another that the Pre-Tribulation Rapture is a Scriptural fact despite what the naysayers say. Many are ignorant of the fact that there are two raptures coming up in the not too distant future not just one. To the careful Bible student this fact is very plain.
