I am six days early but I wanted to send this out prior to our first reading in Revelation – Chapters 1 – 6. This is a presentation by Dalton Thomas of FAI, an amazing Christian missionary organization that goes to dangerous places on the globe to spread the Gospel. I agree with Dalton, belief in the pre-tribulation rapture of believers is not biblical. It speaks into the text, as opposed to reading, reflecting and praying from the Word.

Oh , a side note, FAI were the producers that highlighted the fastest growing church in the world , the Iranian church, in the face of severe persecution and life risk. They are producing instant disciples seemingly by God’s grace. Search under “FAI” or the documentary title: “Sheep Among Wolves, Part II”. The movie as I recall is free on youtube.

Give this one a listen and we will read, reflect and pray through the next four Saturdays and beyond. And the beyond , will include pulling in connected sections from other books in the Bible. I would like to add that we can name any Christian theologian and/or reknowned preacher up through the 18th century, and almost all of them apparently “failed” to see the Rapture in biblical prophecy.

Now , let’s presume a 50% probability each way. Which is more dangerous for being on the wrong side of the truth? 1) As a believer , I whole-heartedly embrace belief in the rapture, and I end up facing full persecution in the 7 years of tribulation, or 2) As a believer, I reject the rapture, which to a pre-trib rapture believer might be heresy, but think about it. Do you think at judgment, God is going to cast me out of the Kingdom as in sorry: “You just didn’t get that right.” Does it effect necesarily my heart for Christ. Was it under the category of “unforgivable sin against the Holy Spirit?” On the other hand, if I fall in 1) and in fact I get caught up in the worst of the tributation, having believed I was going to escape this horrific suffering, would I not be at risk for caving in to the evil of the world at the point of maryrdom?

After our one year study is up in about exactly one month, I am going to try to get back to more , if not all in this FAI series.

Prayer. Praise God!

Love,

Your brother in Christ,

Jimmy
