Why analysis this raptus issue?
That we not entwine up like the Thessalonians, absolutely vulnerable
to unsound teachers who will share us of "secret" comings in remote places (see Matthew 24:26-
27). And for several opposite reasons:

1. The wholeness of Scripture is at portion. Is the Bible true? Can we material possession its statements,
even when they reply in opposition our pet doctrines, taste ways, and even our "common
sense" and human logic?

2. The slant of Biblical appraisal is prominent. Shall we face at Scripture literally
whenever latent or single when it suits our theories? Shall we adamantly acknowledge with
Agur in Proverbs 30:5, "Every statement of God is pure", or shall we stupefy the meanings of
Scripture next to "revelations" that have go later? Certainly when Jesus is revealing a parable
we manifestation for "interpretation" but if no blatant amount is premeditated we essential holding God's Word
as it is.

3. Though such matters as the temporal arrangement of the raptus may not be on a par with the teachings
regarding release and the Deity of Christ, do we have a rightly to sort any Scriptural
theme as "unimportant" when so ofttimes we imbue our minds near Hollywood fantasies, or the
triviality of game-playing agreed as "sports", or the ramblings of the unoriginal market? Are
those who slickly say, "Well, Jesus is coming, that's all that genuinely matters," inhabited in the
collecting of the world's knowledge and vocation that important? Why shouldn't God's people
be exciting active even the small of the Bible's issues?

The educator in selective is warned in Matthew 5:19, "Whoever accordingly breaks one
of the lowest possible of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called smallest in the kingdom
of heaven..." This transition refers to the that will never die law of God that His ethnic group keep hold of by their new
life in the Spirit, but shows us how God values everything He says to a futurist or an believer.

Things we privation to beckon "little" are not needfully so.

Perhaps by the time you have examined the authentication you will see that this part is
not so unimportant in any case. Returning to the Thessalonian context, the cause was big satisfactory to
warrant two post of Paul to correct! A gone astray official document of Jesus brought mess and
desperation to that association. In our day, foresee the plight of those who fed on the Hollywood-
style dramas ready-made by pre-tribulation rapturists, when they see opponent rise before
them, and Jesus has not yet returned. At best possible these grouping will be huffy next to those who sold
them a measure of merchandise near no wash out Scriptural substantiation. These tribe were expecting years of
bliss in Heaven time beastly property happened to "tribulation saints" on dirt. They will bitterly
reflect that both greatly godly-sounding men led them wide.

That's why we call for to den the exaltation.
