Jesus said in Luke 21:36 "Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape ALL these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man."

Notice the "AND" (in blue). Jesus says we are to pray to "escape ALL these things" so that would be at the beginning, right? And in order to stand "before the Son of Man (Jesus), we must be where He is.

Jesus is not on the earth in the beginning of the tribulation period so we must go where He is in order to stand before Him...which is not here. Also, since Jesus commanded we watch and pray always to be accounted worthy to escape and you don't believe that He will take His own as an act of mercy and protection (just like He did for LOT before Sodom and Gomorrah), then chances are you are not praying as He commanded. Hope I'm wrong.


Have you ever considered that those who know there is a pre-trib rapture are those God has revealed this to and will be taken. If folks believe this is false doctrine, then maybe it doesn't to those He has not revealed this to. Either way, according to your faith BE IT UNTO YOU.

All that said, He has revealed to me that He will take His vessels (in a rapture) for training and return us to bring in the harvest. We will bear His Light (Isaiah 60:1-3, as Wise Brides who Kept the oil/Holy Spirit) to reap the harvest because we will have been in His presence, just as Moses stood in God's presence on Mt. Sinai and when he came down, He glowed! Look it up. ;)

God Bless!
