Honestly, I refuse to allow theological arguments introduce fear into my life. I know in WHOM I have believed. Besides, I don’t do theological arguments. As a ‘free moral agent’, you are entitled to your beliefs just as I am entitled to mine.

Whether the rapture happens before or after the tribulation is of no consequence to me whatsoever. This is because HE who called me is FAITHFUL. If HE can give me the Kingdom can HE also not be able to ‘protect’ me throughout the tribulation if HE is inclined to leave me here?

Salvation is by grace through faith. It is the gift of GOD and not attained by works. I have assurance of salvation. I am an heir of GOD and Joint-heir with CHRIST.

‘For me to live is CHRIST and to die is gain’. If I remain alive, my prolonged life will be nothing but a life of which the whole essential element and real tenor is Christ as the One to whom the whole destination and activity of my life bear reference .

So, why should the ‘timing’ of the ‘rapture’ bother me?

Whether to rapture the saints before, during, or after the tribulation is a DIVINE prerogative. That is GOD’s responsibility.

‘I AM the ALPHA and the OMEGA, the BEGINNING and the END’’, says the LORD (Revelation 1:8)

Why should I bother myself with what I have no power over when I have my own responsibility-which is to take the GOOD NEWS to the ends of the earth?

The GOOD NEWS is this:

“Consequently, HE is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to GOD through HIM, since HE always lives to make intercession for them.“(Hebrews 7:25). Shalom! Maranatha!
