Hello Annette,
This is part of a series
of communication we are having on the timing of the Rapture. Doubtlessly, the
reason you have put forth for your believing in post-tribulation Rapture is
very sound. Nevertheless there are still some loose threads that need to be
tied up. That’s what I think.
One of the loose thread
that I am talking about is found in the Book of Revelation, Chapter 3, verse
10. This is what it says,
“Because you have kept My
command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall
come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.”
If I am not mistaken, what
the Spirit says to the Church in Philadelphia concerning the reward which is
awaiting it for fulfilling God’s command has to do with the Great Tribulation
with which the whole earth will be tried. This promise is made especially to
the Church in Philadelphia. No other church is given such a promise. Other
churches have other promises.
My question to you is
this: If the Church in Philadelphia is kept from this hour of trial which shall
come upon the whole world, how is it kept from it? I am very much interested in
learning what you have to say on this topic.
Also, I would like to
thank Mirtika for referring ccel.org to me for further study on the teaching of
the early church on the issue under discussion. I have browsed the site and I
find it extremely useful. I would also like to know what you have to say about
the verse that I have quoted above from Revelation 3.
