"Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near."

Luke 21:28
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 85095557



"And then shall they see the Son of Man coming"


All will see His Coming. ALL.

That disqualifies a secret Rapture 7 years prior.

ALL will see His Coming.

Why do you assume that the Bible teaches a secret Rapture? To the best of my understanding, the whole world will know about it when it happens. The great mass of humanity will be stood there, slowly realizing what a momentous event has just happened. But we who have been Raptured will be long gone.
 Quoting: Judethz



I personally do not believe in a 'secret' or quiet Rapture, however a good portion of the pre-trib camp believes that.

Although I have never imbibed in the genre, the 'Left Behind' series of books and movies highlight the 'snatching away' part, but do not stress a 'parousia' or coming and continual visual presence of Christ.

Can you point to a scripture verse that clearly states that the whole world will see Christ come and snatch away His Bride exactly 7 years before He comes again?

I didn't think so ...


Something interesting for you to consider ...

Regarding the death of Lazarus, Martha's brother.

Now Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.
Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
Martha said to Him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”


WHEN does Martha say Lazarus will rise again?
AT THE LAST DAY
The Day of the Lord - Resurrection Day - The Rapture
All the same day

Martha does NOT say that Lazarus will rise in the Rapture, 7 years prior to the Last Day. Nor does Jesus correct her and place the rising of Lazarus 7 years prior to the Last Day.
