2 Chronicles Chapter 29 Discussion

The subject of the pre - trib "rapture" has been discussed even from the first century church. Proper research will show that Ephraem The Syrian spoke about this subject in one of his sermon's entitled "On the Last Times, the Anti-christ, and the End of the World" in 373AD. A translation of the sermon includes the following segment:

"For all the saints and Elect of God are gathered, prior to the tribulation that is to come, and are taken to the Lord lest they see the confusion that is to overwhelm the world because of our sins."

The rest of the sermon deals with the events of the last days, starting with the rapture, the Great Tribulation of 3 1/2 years under the Anti-christ's rule, then the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.

I believe in the pre-trib rapture, but I will be the first to say that this does not prove that it is correct, but just to clarify that the view of the pre-trib rapture is not a new subject to the church as many would believe. God bless everyone in your service to the Lord Jesus. Most important is for us to carry out is Matthew 28:18-20.

When you die do u go to heaven

Who are the sons of the mighty?

Psalms 89:6

"For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD?"

True, the actual word rapture doesn't appear in the bible but the words "caught up" to meet the Lord in the air is definitely there. "Caught" in Greek means [to seize, pluck, pull, take by force, to take for oneself, prefer, choose, to raise]

To me this means we will definitely be taken by force to meet Jesus in the air. 1 Thes 4:16,17 ; Matt 24:40 ; Luke 17:34,35. This happens before the tribulation period of 3.5 yrs and is not the 2nd coming. The mark of the beast happens during the tribulation period.

Rapture in Webster's dictionary means to be carried away by emotion. Very similar so maybe this is where the word originates from.

To Jf on the "rapture ". Please show me in God's Word where the "rapture" is written. Look up John Nelson Darby from 1830 where you'll find the beginnings of the man-made rapture doctrine. Let His Word lead you into all truth.

Does it tell you in the bible if the mark of the beast happens before the rapture ?

If so, where is it at in the bible ?

Can anyone help me with my question, as to where is the Ark of the Covenant. Nothing has been mentioned of the Ark of God and the mercy seat.

Hezekiah put everything in order, as the people would return to God. Everything was in order with the Levite's, priests, and hundreds of burnt offerings. Through all this, nothing is mentioned of the Ark of the Covenant and the mercy seat. Am I missing something here? Had the Ark of God been taken somewhere? Please help me out here, so I can gain understanding. I thank you in Jesus.

Verse 6: Hezekiah saw his father's bad example firsthand. He was determined to follow the right course. Even if one's parent's set a bad example, one can choose to do what is right.

Verse 11: Hezekiah had his priorities straight. He focused on restoring pure worship to the land.

Verse 8 shows that God's indignation came against Judah and Jerusalem because they turned their back on Him.
