Our Resurrection Hope is Not Rapture Excerpt: Why are the Rapture Believers Confused? Simply, because the issue of Rapture is foreign to the mind and the word of God. Therefore, they who want to believe it have no foundation. May we first of all outline a few things here about this belief.
Those who hold the view of what is called the dispensational interpretation of prophecy, teach that the ‘second coming’ of Christ will be in two stages’. First, the “RAPTURE” which is Christ coming FOR the saints (1 Thessalonians 4:13-17). Where in Christ does not appear visibly to those on the earth, but only COMES IN THE AIR to resurrect the true saints who have died, change the living saints (1 Corinthians.15:23,51-53, Philippians 3:20-21) and “catch them up to meet the Lord in the air”.

After this, is the REVELATION (His supposed second coming with the saints). The interval between these two events is generally regarded as seven years (Daniel’s 70th week). During this time, according to this view the Antichrist will make a seven year covenant with the Jews. In which he will allow them to offer sacrifices in a rebuilt temple at Jerusalem. But after three and half years, he will break his covenant and place an idol (the abomination of desolation) in the ‘holy place’ of the temple.

The Jews will refuse to bow and a great persecution will result, the time of “Jacob’s trouble”. Finally, at the close of the tribulation period (the end of the age), Christ will return in power and great glory.Those who believe the ‘rapture’ will take place before the tribulation are called – ‘PRE – TRIBULATION RAPTURE’S’ while those who believe the ‘rapture’ will take place after the tribulation are called – POST-TRIBULATION RAPTURE’S. This is the theory that has kept the Christian world bound.
